To: Steve Dickson, linux-nfs@vger.kernel.org; +Cc: Sean Elble, kinglongmee
Sean reports running rpc.nfsd with --host options without IPv6 address.
rpc.nfsd prints error message, but runs correctly for IPv4.
It is caused by that rpc.nfsd tries to bind IPv4 and IPv6 address default.
rpc.nfsd: unable to resolve nfs-server:nfs to inet6 address: Name or service not known
This patch add no-ipv4 and no-ipv6 options to disable ipv4/ipv6 directly.

Why not just turn this message into a debugging message?

I think it's an important message for user, especially meeting error both,
we should not remove it.
Also, it's a useful feature of turning off ipv4 or ipv6 for some case.

Thanks for the patch Kinglong!
From my perspective as a user/admin, I welcome the option to turn off
either IPv4 or IPv6 selectively. I could also see the sense in making
it a debug level message, in that if it's not working as intended,
you're going to inevitably put it into debug mode. And, as it stands, I
think more people see the message now (on account of it being displayed
when a host cannot be resolved to both an IPv4 and IPv6 address) than
those who would need to see the error, but that's sheer conjecture on my
part.
In any case, the patch is much appreciated, and I believe the
functionality is worth it, regardless of what is done with the message
itself.

I don’t understand the need to “turn off” an address family. That’s what
/etc/netconfig is supposed to be for. What’s not happening here that
should be?

What I mean is: I’d rather not add more command line options if there
is a way for rpc.nfsd to automatically and quietly do what is needed.
But I don’t understand the use case here. Sean, can you explain it for
bears of little brain?

Sure, and please correct me if any of my understanding is incorrect (as
it may well be). In my environment, I wanted to have NFS only listen on
one interface of a multihomed host. In using the "--host" parameter to
do so, I saw the error message regarding IPv6 thrown. While disabling
IPv6 globally in /etc/netconfig is an option (one I understand to be
"global", in that it'd affect *all* applications on the host), it'd be
nice to disable IPv6 for a single service/daemon instead.
Of course, the fact that at least Ubuntu and RHEL (and almost certainly
their upstream and their derivatives, respectively) relay the error
message when running the NFS init scripts could confuse someone into
thinking NFS failed to start properly (until they look at the output of
netstat -nalp, etc.). I'd almost argue that's a larger concern. By the
same token, "--host" seems a little used option, for whatever reason.
In any case, I'm the little brained one in this group. :-)

OK, yes I read that last week, and had just forgotten it. That sounds to
me like - - host is broken (or, at least noisier than it should be in this
case).
Do you provide an IP address or a hostname when specifying - - host?

Agreed. I guess it's just a matter of what the appropriate fix is.

I've provided both hostname and IP address, with the same result, IIRC.

But doesn't something like
rpc.nfsd --host 10.0.0.1 --no-ipv6
seem a bit redundant?
I mean, you've already told it to listen to that one (ipv4) address.
That'd argue for just disabling the warning in this case, I think. But
my understanding of IPv6 is still poor.

In that case, perhaps it does. But what if you were to use a hostname that resolved to both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses?

Yours and mine both. But until it gets better, I’m very comfortable in just turning it off in places where 1) I know it’s not needed and 2) Places where exploits could linger with most of our emphasis on IPv4 still.

I think the common expectation is that NFSD should present an IPv6
listener in that case.
If you give rpc.nfsd a hostname and it has no mapped IPv6 address, or
you give rpc.nfsd an IPv4 address, then no IPv6 listener should be
started.
>> I mean, you've already told it to listen to that one (ipv4) address.

I agree with that (either disabling it, or getting rid of the false
negative).

In the specific usage scenario you opened the thread with, you used
a hostname with no IPv6 mapping, and you got exactly what you wanted:
only an IPv4 listener.
Seems like the rpc.nfsd command line interface is already rich enough
to provide what you want?

Yeah. If somebody does need the --no-ipv4/6 stuff then we can add that
in addition, but first let's just kill the warning, it sounds to me like
that warning's just wrong.
