Is there anyway to modify the mount script globally? With my far from complete understanding of the changes to 8.04 nfs, the underlying version is now 4 (supporting all sorts of better security etc). My investigations into mount issues indicated a places to look was the manner of exports, being changed significantly. Older versions are still supported but the native export arrangement is now different - check man pages for -t nfs4.
The other idea, is to specify the bg option although it appears it would have been an easy fix to remove the mountvers if the mount options could be changed in your setup. I have found the bg option still errors but then spawns a retry process in background that eventually sorts it out - I use this where an fstab mount executes before networking starts. May not solve the mountvers issue for you though. I concur with your backwards compatibility comments. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
