Sun Microsystems recently released a new version of the software: SSGD 4.41-907 ... I have only installed in Solaris 10 so far, I did not yet have the chance to try it out on an Ubuntu 8.04 installation.
But SSGD 4.41-907 too just like the previous version 4.40-917 (the one my bug report is about) officially only support RHEL 5 and SLES 10 ... So I imagine that the underlying mount script will still be the same and that it too will still expect those old mount options to work. There should be a package, e.g. something like "nfs-compat" or something like that, that would give people like me the old NFS binaries back (make it conflict with the new mainstream NFS binaries if you have to) so closed-source enterprise packages like this stuff from SUN will continue to work. Stuff like this is exactly the reason why e.g. some of the customer companies I work with they will not accept Linux and especially not Ubuntu, because things work in one release and then all of a sudden stop working in the next release and nobody can really tell you why this was even done. Messing with those NFS mount options and making it incompatible was really a silly decision, sorry to say so. -- Ubuntu 8.04: /sbin/mount.nfs no longer understands certain (standard?) mount options https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251923 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
