There is an endianess problem with /proc/sys/fs/nfs/nsm_use_hostnames (which can e.g. be seen on an s390x host) : # modprobe lockd nsm_use_hostnames=1 # cat /proc/sys/fs/nfs/nsm_use_hostnames 16777216 The nsm_use_hostnames variable is declared as "bool" which is required for the correct type for the module parameter. However, this does not work correctly with the entry in the /proc filesystem since this currently requires "int". Jia He already provided patches for this problem a couple of years ago, but apparently they felt through the cracks and never got merged. So here's a rebased version to finally fix this issue.
