The old system is Fedora Core 5, with /bin/mount. The new system is Fedora 7 and uses /sbin/mount.nfs. I did a simple test. On the NFS server I did a "service nfs stop", then tried a mount with "-o bg" from each client. Results: On FC5, the mount backgrounded immediately, and succeeded once I did a "service nfs start" on the server. A "ps -ef | grep mount" shows a backgrounded mount process that goes away once the mount is successful. On F7, the mount fails immediately with EX_FAIL. There is no background mount process, according to ps. I plan to study the legacy mount command to understand exactly what needs to be added to mount.nfs to make bg mounts work again. --------------090207040601030709010501 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=utf-8; name="chuck.lever.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="chuck.lever.vcf" begin:vcard fn:Chuck Lever n:Lever;Chuck org:Oracle Corporation;Corporate Architecture: Linux Projects Group adr:;;1015 Granger Avenue;Ann Arbor;MI;48104;USA title:Principal Member of Staff tel;work:+1 248 614 5091 x-mozilla-html:FALSE url:http://oss.oracle.com/~cel version:2.1 end:vcard --------------090207040601030709010501 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
