Mount version older than kernel: 4 vs. 6

[Frank Steiner <fsteiner-mail@bio.ifi.lmu.de>]

Hi,

using kernel 2.6.8rc3 and util-linux-2.12a, I ran into those "mount
version older than kernel" messages, which were discussed here for the
2.6.4 kernel before. Patching inode.c, I can see that NFS_MOUNT_VERSION
is 6, while data->version is 4. (The only mount at all that does not
complain is the one done by nfsroot (of course) :-))

Just a stupid question: why does the nfsmount.h from the kernel source
define NFS_MOUNT_VERSION 6? Shouldn't this number match the latest nfs
version, i.e., 4? I've never heard of nfs v6 yet :-)
Or is the meaning of NFS_MOUNT_VERSION different?

Would it be safe to patch nfsmount.h and set the number to 4 for my
own kernel to get rid of this warning, or could that break sth. else?
It just fills my logs and I want to get rid of it...



cu,
Frank
