See the +ACIAWw-PATCH+AF0- Adding the nfs4+AF8-secure+AF8-mounts bool+ACI- thread... If auth+AF8-rpcgss.ko is not loaded, the kernel won't ever try to do an upcall. +AD4- +AD4- Then, systemd can be used to restart rpc.gssd if it crashes, maybe? Just a thought. You can trivially defeat that by compiling the gss code into the kernel. -- Trond Myklebust Linux NFS client maintainer NetApp Trond.Myklebust+AEA-netapp.com www.netapp.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
