I carefully went through the various man pages again and found that despite me missing those before, there are indications:
man nfs ... The fstype field contains "nfs". Use of the "nfs4" fstype in /etc/fstab is deprecated. ... To mount using NFS version 4, use either the nfs file system type, with the nfsvers=4 mount option, or the nfs4 file system type. man mount.nfs4 ... Under Linux 2.6.32 and later kernel versions, mount.nfs can mount all NFS file system versions. Under earlier Linux kernel versions, mount.nfs4 must be used for mounting NFSv4 file systems while mount.nfs must be used for NFSv3 and v2. The man page for mount mentions nfs4 but says nothing specific about nfs4 but mentions it. And the examples in nfs(5) rather show the nfs4 fstype approach. So it is a bit mixed. My feeling would be that the nfs related man pages may be a bit more actively pushing people to drop nfs4 as the fstype. But probably add an alias definition in modprobe.d (if that is allowed by policy). Steve, this sounds to me like we should open a related debian bug along. Or would we make changes in our package an then ask for things to be picked up? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/607039 Title: NFS4 automount using replicated servers doesn't work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs5/+bug/607039/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
