Hi,

I have just shifted from using linux-2.6.5 to 2.6.16 and I am seeing a
change in mounting operation.
I have created a dummy file-system, put some printk in getattr method
of this file system.

Using 2.6.16 kernel I do the following steps

1) First I mount my dummy filesystem
    mount -t rkfs none ../rkfs/rkfsmnt

2) Then I mounted a partition from different machine though nfs.
    mount -t nfs 10.112.4.168:/home/guest /mnt/nfs

Now  /var/log/messages show that rkfs(dummy filesystem) getattr has
been called while mounting the nfs partition.
Is it a normal behaviour??
If it is then why it does not happen in 2.6.5 kernel?
Can anyone help me find out where and in which part of the kernel the
changes has been made to show such behaviour??

TIA

Mohit Katiyar
