Two unrelated issues with my current build (svn-20091221 on x86_64). 1. I tried nfs-utils-1.2.1, but mount objected to one or more of my options on each of my (nfsv3) mounts, e.g. something in
myserver:/path/to/sources /sources nfs rw,hard,intr,_netdev,tcp 0 0 and myserver:/path/to/notes /home/ken/notes nfs rw,hard,intr,noauto,tcp,user 0 0 I'm at a loss to identify what changed (strace just showed 'invalid option' for the call, man 5 nfs doesn't show anything obvious). I've reverted to 1.2.0 and all my mounts are working again, so without any clues I'm treating this as a low priority (google mainly comes up with kernel changes). The log message was NFS: bad mount option value specified:vers=4 which made me wonder if I'd inadvertently built for nfsv4, but even on 1.2.0 I've got mount.nfs4 as a link to mount.nfs [ --disable-nfsv4 : also tried --enable-nfsv4=no with 1.2.1] 2. On clfs, I've had issues with the netfs bootscript at shutdown (dropped to "enter root password for maintenance" prompt, apparently triggered because the invocations of fuser were failing. I recall someone else had this, but I don't think he ever said what system he was using. [ clfs has copies of what were the BLFS scripts, but I happen to use the BLFS scripts ]. In my current build I've got the 'fuser' lines commented out, because everything has worked well enough without them (and failures during shutdown are not nice - I can reboot with Magic SysRQ, but not halt), but I thought I might as well look a little closer. First, fuser is in /usr/bin, at least with coreutils-8.2, so the script isn't up to date in trying to use /bin/fuser. Second, fuser might be broken: I can't get it to accept the signal, neither -SIGTERM nor -TERM nor even -HUP, it just tells me it doesn't like what I passed to it, and that I should use fuser -l. The signals listed by doing that include HUP and TERM which is why I suspect breakage. I might raise a ticket suggesting we drop these invocations of fuser (the simplest workaround) but the only net fs I use is nfs - perhaps they are beneficial to one of the other filing systems ? ĸen -- After tragedy, and farce, "OMG poneys!" -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
