nash nfsmount doesn't respect mount options + proposed patch
Last modified: 2009-02-17 14:40:41 EST
From the current nash code: (nash.c) char * foo = NULL; if (nfsmount(device, mntPoint, &flags, &foo, &options, 0)) { ... so the actual options are the 5th argument to nfsmount. That is argument declared char **mount_opts. But the options parsing loop operates on the variable old_opts (as is in the original nfsmount.c from nfs-utils, but that's inside the parse_options routine), which is constructed from extra_opts. Hence the patch corrects the behaviour using mount_opts. --- nfsmount.c.orig 2006-10-04 20:28:35.000000000 +0200 +++ nfsmount.c 2007-05-21 14:36:03.000000000 +0200 @@ -323,7 +323,7 @@ /* add IP address to mtab options for use when unmounting */ s = inet_ntoa(server_addr.sin_addr); - old_opts = *extra_opts; + old_opts = *mount_opts; if (!old_opts) old_opts = ""; if (strlen(old_opts) + strlen(s) + 10 >= sizeof(new_opts)) {
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Created attachment 304221 [details] Patch to fix processing of nfs mount options
The bug still appears in Fedora 8 and development. That is mkinitrd-6.0.19-4.fc8 and mkinitrd-6.0.52-1.fc9. See the above patch. I can't change status or version.
*** Bug 356371 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Has this bug been fixed yet? I've run into similar symptoms in Fedora 10, so I'm curious if it's the same cause. I noticed that there's a patch attached. Is there any particular reason that it wouldn't be applied? Thanks.
