Ok... I had to dial back my client to an older kernel (3.12) to start seeing what you were seeing... I would make one change and one comment... The change I would like to make (I'll re-post it) is to ping the server to see if v4 came up instead of asking rpcbind if its registered. Code wise I think it cleaner and quicker plus I'm not sure its a good idea to tie v4 and rpcbind together... My comment is this... This code become obsolete with the 3.13 kernel because the kernel never returns the timeout or the ECONNREFUSED... The mount just spins in the kernel until interrupted. steved. -- 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
