nordirplus now implemented?

Posted by Roger at 2007-09-07 03:36

I'm the guy that wrote the mails that Steve refers to above.

I've recently built and patched another Fedora Core 6 box and I'm pleased to say that the nordirplus mount option now seems to be implemented.

The updates installed this kernel:

2.6.22.2-42.fc6 (x86_64)

and Linux automount version 5.0.1-0.rc3.33.

My auto.master for dealing with Tru64 is now:

/home_a yp:auto.home_a nordirplus

and this seems to be as good a workaround for the Tru64 server as this former hack:

/home_a yp:auto.home_a nfsvers=2

A look at /proc/mounts definitely shows nordirplus in the options - which wasn't the case a short while ago (at the time I mailed Steve).

Someone's been busy :-)
