Bug#669314: NFS: kernel forces trailing slash for export in /proc/self/mounts

2012-10-18 Thread Chris Hiestand
I've applied the patch to Linus' master HEAD (43c422eda99b894f18d1cca17bcd2401efaf7bd0, at the time) and the patch seems to work fine. /proc/self/mounts correctly reflects whether or not the user specified to use a trailing slash - and nothing is obviously broken. If the patch looks fine to ot

I had a couple friends over today and we made a trivial patch to remove trailing slashes. We do not know C and have never created a patch for the kernel before, so there is undoubtedly a better way to do it. However we hope this helps in your efforts. 0001-Fixes-trailing-slash-in-nfs-devname.

Bug#669314: linux-source-3.2: After mounting nfs export, kernel forces trailing slash for export in /proc/self/mounts

2012-04-18 Thread Chris Hiestand
Package: linux-source-3.2 Version: 3.2.15-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer, I believe it is convention to leave a trailing slash off of the nfs export in /etc/fstab, e.g.: nfsserver:/srv/ubuntu-32 /mnt/ubuntu-32 nfs ro,nfsvers=3,soft,intr,tcp,nodev,noatime,nosuid,rsize=32768,ws
