List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hello I have problems with nfsroot module when root file system is shared on EMC Cellerra. The problem is, that Celerra needs the client's name and IP address to authenticate the mount request. This information is usually sent through the RPC authentication data. But nfsroot module does not send this data during mount, so Celerra denies request. This was a conclusion by EMC support after analyzing network's traffic between disk less station and Celerra. I was looking what can be changed in /usr/src/linux-2.4/fs/nfs/nfsroot.c code, but I am not very experienced in this. Maybe somebody can help me to solve this problem ? Maybe that's wrong file were too look for changes ? Is it possible to make changes like this and is it possible to get official fix fro this problem ? Thank you very much for your kind responses.
