NFS mount over IPv6 success

["Steinar H. Gunderson" <sgunderson-jG/AHqQBv7lBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org>]

Hi,

I'm sure others have gotten this to work at some point, but it's finally
gotten to the point where I could get it to work myself, so I thought I could
share my success story:

 - Vanilla 2.6.28-rc3 client (2.6.26 also worked, although not with NFSv4)
 - Solaris 10 server
 - libtirpc from git (git://git.infradead.org/~steved/libtirpc.git)
 - IPv6-patched nfs-utils from git
   (git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/cel/nfs-utils.git)

After recompiling (actually making Debian packages of) the client software,
it was just a matter of mounting. 2.6.26 had some issues with IPv6 address
literals -- only DNS worked -- but 2.6.28-rc3 did both just fine.

I haven't done extensive testing, but this looks pretty good :-) Now I'm just
waiting for the server support to get ready in the same way, and then for
everything to trickle into mainline.
