Bug 984824

in rhel6.0 release version has the same problem.
    the package version nfs-utils-1.2.3-36.el6
and in a rhel6.0 alpha distro env. rpc.mountd -n works fine.
    package version nfs-utils-1.2.1-10.el6

so the bug introduced interval (1.2.1-10, 1.2.3-36]

RHEL6.5 has the same issue

The reason --no-tcp does not work without turning off v4 (aka -N 4) is because
tcp is *required* by v4... If TCP could be turned off without turning
off v4, then that was bug...

sorry, my mistake for description;

yes with -n -N 4 rpc.mountd still can not turn off TCP.
- And it cause bz859078 test case can not work.

Hi Steve

in RHEL7 has the same problem: bz1013468
please fix them together.

I'm a bit confused there... The title of this bz is
   [rpc.mountd] -n|--no-tcp option cannot work

which is not the case as you have proven. You also need
the -N 4 to disable tcp, which is how it worked since
RHEL6.0. Point being this is not a regression. 

So why is this a Test Blocker??

Sorry for the confuse,, I changed the title.

because another bug's reproducer need "-n -N 4" disable tcp port.

I think that you need to fix your older test - that is a really old BZ, right?

Is this reply for me? or steve?
If for me, the answer is no, 
 that is a new test for: mount.nfs negotiates suitable version with nfs server.

And I think if just specify -n option, rpc.mountd should output warning msg to user. or add doc description in man page.

This is listed as a release blocker for RHEL6.5. I don't see this as a critical issue and clearly it is not a blocker if this is just worked around with a man page update.

I am going to push it back to RHEL6.6, thanks!

No no no, update man page is an other question;
The bug in this bugzilla, is:
   rpc.mountd -n -N 4  can not work as expected, can not turn off the tcp port

I'm not sure I understand what the issue is here. NFSv4 doesn't support udp, so setting the version of NFS to 4, and saying "don't use tcp" doesn't make sense as what other transport can it use?

no, the options "-N 4 -n" means "disable nfs4 and disable tcp"

-------------------------------------------
Info of the -N option in man rpc.mountd(8)
       -N  or  --no-nfs-version
              This option can be used to request that rpc.mountd do not offer certain versions of NFS. The current version of rpc.mountd  can  support  both  NFS
              version 2, 3 and 4. If the either one of these version should not be offered, rpc.mountd must be invoked with the option --no-nfs-version <vers> .

Ok, sorry. I see now. Thanks for confirming, that does sound like this needs to be fixed in that case.

It is true that -n no longer turns off tcp listeners. It happen when we
switch over from using glibc to libtirpc which was a number of years
ago. In this day and age, the last thing customers need to do is
turn off tcp.

Plus the only thing that has notice anomaly is our QE scripts,
meaning no customer complaints at all... 

So I suggest we close this bz as WONTFIX and open another bz
to remove the -n from the man page...
