Package: nfs-kernel-server Severity: minor Hi,
While setting up a NFS HA service I found a problem related to the service's hostname (i.e. nfs.domain.com) versus the hostname for node it was run in (i.e. foobar.domain.com) when using Kerberos. I found the patch mentioned in #451402, applied it and my problem was solved. I didn't find the patch on the BTS so I was going to submit it, but when I was preparing my bug report I found the '-n' option in the source code. The option is not documented in the manpage, but solves the problem the patch is trying to. Plus using the '-n' with the patch in #451402 gives you this: Oct 8 20:31:13 dumbo kernel: rpc.svcgssd[28094]: segfault at 0 ip 0804aabe sp bff17160 error 4 in rpc.svcgssd[8048000+5000] Oct 8 20:33:32 dumbo kernel: rpc.svcgssd[28467]: segfault at 0 ip 0804aabe sp bf8db440 error 4 in rpc.svcgssd[8048000+5000] To sum up: - The patch is not required (IMHO) - The patch may break rpc.svcgssd. - If you're using a different hostname for your NFS service than the hostname for the machine that it is being run (i.e. High Availability), just use RPCSVCGSSDOPTS="-n" Please find attached a patch for the man page.
