Following are 4 patchs from knfsd suitable for 2.6.21. Numbers 3 and 4 provide new usability features that require a new nfs-utils to make full use of (all nfs-utils will ofcourse continue to work providing the functionality it always provided).
(3) allows a 16 byte uuid to be used to identify the filesystem rather than the device id (which is volatile) or a 32bit number (which has to be managed manually). nfs-utils used libblkid to extract a uuid from most filesystems. (Thanks Trond for reviewing this code - I hope you like the changes). (4) allows an upcall to be made to map a 'uid' to a list of 'gids'. The AUTH_UNIX authentication protocol only carries 16 group ids which causes problems for people with more than 16 group ids. [PATCH 001 of 4] knfsd: Fix return value for writes to some files in 'nfsd' filesystem. [PATCH 002 of 4] knfsd: Tidy up choice of filesystem-identifier when creating a filehandle. [PATCH 003 of 4] knfsd: Add some new fsid types. [PATCH 004 of 4] knfsd: Allow the server to provide a gid list when using AUTH_UNIX authentication. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
