Hi! while experimenting with various modifications in mountd to deal better with crossmounts I noticed a problem in fs/nfsd/export.c svc_export_parse(), it always ignores the uuid as provided by my mountd. If CONFIG_NFSD_V4 is not enabled, both fsloc_parse() and secinfo_parse() are a no-op. This causes the while loop to terminate prematurely because only the keywords "fsloc" or "secinfo" got consumed, their parameters are still in the buffer and will trigger the break. while ((len = qword_get(&mesg, buf, PAGE_SIZE)) > 0) { if (strcmp(buf, "fsloc") == 0) err = fsloc_parse(&mesg, buf, &exp.ex_fslocs); else if (strcmp(buf, "uuid") == 0) err = nfsd_uuid_parse(&mesg, buf, &exp.ex_uuid); else if (strcmp(buf, "secinfo") == 0) err = secinfo_parse(&mesg, buf, &exp); else /* quietly ignore unknown words and anything * following. Newer user-space can try to set * new values, then see what the result was. */ break; if (err) goto out4; } nfs-utils mountd always places fslock and secinfo before the uuid, no mather whether I use NFSv4 or v3. So I'm not sure where to address the problem. Should we fix mountd or change both fsloc_parse() and secinfo_parse() to consume all their data even in the !CONFIG_NFSD_V4 case? Thanks, //richard
