First, the mount test was in the scripts long before kernel versions 3.x. It distinguished 2.6 kernels from earlier ones that did not have /proc/fs/nfsd. Comparing the sources of nfs-utils-1.2.5 with nfs-utils-1.1.4, I noticed that the later nfsd will attempt to mount /proc/fs/nfsd if it is not already mounted. The earlier one does not. Whether or not a separate mount is needed, depends upon the nfs-utils version. I have had problems with exports when rpc.mountd is started when /proc/fs/nfsd has not already been mounted. With the older version of nfs-utils, the crossmnt and nohide options do not work; with the newer version, nothing is exported. Regardless of how /proc/fs/nfsd was mounted, the nfs-server stop function will only unmount it if the umount command is explicitly executed. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
