Hi. I've recently upgraded my main work machine to -CURRENT in an environment where much of the world is mounted via NFS. The NFS locking via rpc.lockd/rpc.statd doesn't seem to be too stable, and the -L behavior described in mount_nfs(8) works much better for me. Unfortunately, I can't seem to coax the automounter into providing those kinds of mounts for me.
Since I only need the local locking behavior, I create a little sysctl
that adds the NFSMNT_NOLOCKD flag to any NFS mount. I've made a patch
against -CURRENT for anyone who'd liek to add this functionality to
their kernel.
If a committer is {interested in,happy with} this patch, please feel free
to commit it.
And if I've missed a way to make the automounter do this, please wise me
up.
Thanks.
