Description
IBM Bug Proxy
2008-09-24 05:10:52 UTC
We currently ship nfs-utils-1.1.3 in Fedora. The feature requested has already been accepted into the upstream code base planned for the next major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. When the next milestone release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is available, please verify that the feature requested is present and functioning as desired. Varun is no longer working on this. Here is an update from Chuck Lever on the status of NFS support fpor IPv6:

You should be able to mount NFSv4 servers from the Linux NFS client in
2.6.28, using the mount.nfs command from the latest nfs-utils.
Callback over IPv6 is supported, and maybe referral too.
With 2.6.30, IPv6 will be supported in all the kernel NFS client and
server components (rpcbind and mountd client, NLM, NSM, NFS client,
and NFSD), though I wager it will need some shake-down time as user
space support for IPv6 is still lagging.
Distributions need to carry the new libtirpc and replace their
portmapper with rpcbind. Fedora, so far, is the only one that is
doing this, although I think RHEL 6 and the next release of OpenSUSE
will have it too.
The next upstream release of nfs-utils will have showmount and
complete [u]mount.nfs support for IPv6 (necessary for mounting NFSv2/
v3 servers over IPv6, but not sufficient).
I have sm-notify support done, and am working on rpc.statd now for
testing at Connectathon 2009. This will complete client side support
for NFSv2/v3 over IPv6, and is also necessary but not sufficient for
server side NFSv2/v3 over IPv6.
The next piece is rpc.mountd and exportfs to complete server side IPv6
support, as NFS server access control is IP address-based. Bull had
something here, but I haven't seen that work, and they've been defunded.
We haven't looked at Kerberos (GSSAPI) yet, but I don't think there
will be significant issues there. Jeff (cc added) might be looking at
this.

IBM is signed up to test and provide feedback Fixed in 'nfs-utils-1.2.0-10.el6', included in compose 'RHEL6.0-20091029.0'. Moving to ON_QA. ------- Comment From ffilz.com 2009-11-02 14:53 EDT------- Chuck Lever just posted an update on status: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.nfs/29288/focus=29294 Since this has been accepted by Red Hat , moving to Accepted ------- Comment From ffilz.com 2010-03-04 16:04 EDT------- Status has been upated here: http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Ipv6PlanningDocument There is also a pointer to the Connectathon 2010 presentation on IPv6 which may be a bit more up to date than the wiki page. ------- Comment From ffilz.com 2010-05-28 12:35 EDT------- This feature has been verified. Only NFS v4 was tested since we didn't have a IPv6 capable NFS v3 server. Red Hat Enterprise Linux Beta 2 is now available and should resolve the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. |
