1 Significant changes for nfs-utils 1.1.0 - March/April 2007
3 - rpc.lockd is gone. One 3 old kernel releases need it.
4 - /sbin/{u,}mount.nfs{,4} are now installed so 'mount' will
5 use these to mount nfs filesystems instead of internal code.
6 + mount.nfs will check for 'statd' to be running when mounting
7 a filesystem which requires it. If it is not running it will
8 run "/usr/sbin/start-statd" to try to start it.
9 If statd is not running and cannot be started, mount.nfs will
10 refuse to mount the filesystem and will suggest the 'nolock'
12 - Substantial changes to statd
13 + The 'notify' process that must happen at boot has been split
14 into a separate program "sm-notify". It ensures that it
15 only runs once even if you restart statd. This is correct
17 + statd stores state in the files in /var/lib/nfs/sm/ so that
18 if you kill and restart it, it will restore that state and
19 continue working correctly.
20 + statd makes more use of DNS lookup and should handle
21 multi-homed peers better. In particular, files in
22 /var/lib/nfs/sm/ are named with the Full Qualified Domain Name
24 - If you export a directory as 'crossmnt', all filesystems
25 mounted beneath are automatically exported with the same
26 options (unless explicitly exported with different options).
27 - subtree_check is no-longer the default. The default is now
29 - By default the system 'rpcgen' is used while building
30 nfs-utils rather than the internal one.
31 - Exportfs will warn if you try to export a filesystem that does
32 not support NFS export.
33 - Comprehensive notes on startup dependencies have been added
