Significant changes for nfs-utils 1.1.0 - March/April 2007
- rpc.lockd is gone. One 3 old kernel releases need it.
- - /sbin/{u,}mount.nfs{,4} is now installed so 'mount' will
+ - /sbin/{u,}mount.nfs{,4} are now installed so 'mount' will
use these to mount nfs filesystems instead of internal code.
+ mount.nfs will check for 'statd' to be running when mounting
a filesystem which requires it. If it is not running it will
if you kill and restart it, it will restore that state and
continue working correctly.
+ statd makes more use of DNS lookup and should handle
- multi-homed peers better.
+ multi-homed peers better. In particular, files in
+ /var/lib/nfs/sm/ are named with the Full Qualified Domain Name
+ if available.
- If you export a directory as 'crossmnt', all filesystems
mounted beneath are automatically exported with the same
options (unless explicitly exported with different options).
no_subtree_check.
- By default the system 'rpcgen' is used while building
nfs-utils rather than the internal one.

-Further notes on statd:
-
- statd should be installed in /usr/sbin, not /sbin.
- If you need to mount /usr via nfs, use 'nolock'
-
- At boot time, run "/usr/sbin/sm-notify".
- Run "statd" only when starting the NFS server.
- "statd" should be run before starting the NFS server.
- You do not need to start statd at boot time incase an
- NFS filesystem is mounted. mount.nfs will take care of that.
-
- Make sure /usr/sbin/start-statd will run statd with required
- arguments.
+ - Exportfs will warn if you try to export a filesystem that does
+ not support NFS export.
+ - Comprehensive notes on startup dependencies have been added
+ to the README file.
