Does this mean we can start beta testing these features out in the
distributions now? Is nfs-utils (in particular nfsd/mountd) ready?
No. I'm talking about the kernel client support only. Server
support is
a different matter...
I believe Chuck still has to make a change to the nfs-utils 'mount' in
order to make it capable of resolving IPv6 DNS lookups.
There are some missing glibc/tirpc pieces required for the mount
command to support binding IPv6 sockets. I'm still sorting things
out, but I expect to have something available for testing Linux NFSv4
mounting against IPv6-enabled servers (Solaris, at least) soon.
