Lots of fixes and improvements were made to
mount.nfs and umount.nfs. The new "text based
mount options" kernel interface is now supported,
but is not yet the default. The 'nosharecache'
mount option was added. Timeouts for TCP
connections were made shorter. More efficient
support was implemented for sites with a large
number of netgroups. "nfsstate --since" can be
used for easily reporting incremental statistics.
Lots of compile warnings were silenced. The
logging code was cleaned up. Memory leaks in
mountd were fixed.
The "mount.nfs" command was added, since the nfs
mount functionality is being migrated from
util-linux to nfs-utils. Substantial changes to
were made statd. Various pieces of old code were
removed. Lots of bugfixes and improvements were
made.
Lots of changes were made including a new 'mount' helper for NFS, several new export options (fslocations, uuid), GID mapping support for more than 16 GIDs, and more.
This release added a 'mount.nfs' utility, which can be used as a mount helper for mounting NFS filesystems. It is currently disabled as some features don't work. There were also tidy-ups for the Makefile, autoconf, and warnings. Assorted unused files were deleted. mountd can now be run multi-threaded for configurations with many hundreds of clients. Assorted other fixes were made.
