The kernel understands text options of the form "v4.x" (ie "v4.1"), but mount.nfs does not and this leads to weird errors when the requested mount fails: a line in dmesg about version 3 not supporting minorversions and mount.nfs returning EINVAL no matter what the real error was. This happens because mount.nfs thinks no version was specified so it starts probing other versions which conflicts with the v4.X option once it gets parsed by the kernel. $ sudo mount -v -o v4.1 zero:/invalid_export /mnt mount.nfs: timeout set for Wed Nov 13 10:09:48 2013 mount.nfs: trying text-based options 'v4.1,vers=4,addr=192.168.100.10,clientaddr=192.168.100.11' mount.nfs: mount(2): No such file or directory mount.nfs: trying text-based options 'v4.1,addr=192.168.100.10' mount.nfs: prog 100003, trying vers=3, prot=6 mount.nfs: trying 192.168.100.10 prog 100003 vers 3 prot TCP port 2049 mount.nfs: prog 100005, trying vers=3, prot=17 mount.nfs: trying 192.168.100.10 prog 100005 vers 3 prot UDP port 20048 mount.nfs: mount(2): Invalid argument mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified And you get this in dmesg: NFS: mount option vers=3 does not support minorversion=1 but if you use another form of the same options, this doesn't happen: $ sudo mount -v -o vers=4,minorversion=1 zero:/invalid_export /mnt mount.nfs: timeout set for Wed Nov 13 10:10:28 2013 mount.nfs: trying text-based options 'vers=4,minorversion=1,addr=192.168.100.10,clientaddr=192.168.100.11' mount.nfs: mount(2): No such file or directory mount.nfs: mounting zero:/invalid_export failed, reason given by server: No such file or directory Signed-off-by: Weston Andros Adamson <dros@xxxxxxxxxx> --- utils/mount/network.c | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/utils/mount/network.c b/utils/mount/network.c index e8e55a5..2853d00 100644 --- a/utils/mount/network.c +++ b/utils/mount/network.c @@ -92,6 +92,9 @@ static const char *nfs_version_opttbl[] = { "v4", "vers", "nfsvers", + "v4.0", + "v4.1", + "v4.2", NULL, }; @@ -1269,6 +1272,11 @@ nfs_nfs_version(struct mount_options *options, unsigned long *version) progname); return 0; } + case 5: /* v4.0 */ + case 6: /* v4.1 */ + case 7: /* v4.2 */ + *version = 4; + return 1; } /* -- 1.8.3.1 (Apple Git-46) -- 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
