A merge of Rick Macklem's NFSv3 code (from Lite2) has just been checked in
to the main source tree. After your next update you should be sure to update:
- /usr/include
- mount
- mount_nfs
- mountd
- nfsd
..before booting a freshly compiled kernel. Please note that a v3 mount is
now the default for mount_nfs. It should fall back to v2 if a v3 mount
fails. To explicitly use a v2 mount, use the '-2' flag to mount_nfs. So,
if you don't trust v3 yet, you can use -2 in your fstab to always get
a v2 mount. However, the code has gone through some testing, so things
should be ok.
Known bug: a TCP mount to a Solaris 2.5 server may hang if left idle for a
while. If you encounter this bug (or any other bug for that matter)
please try to gather details on it, and report it. Thanks!
