there is an undocumented option:
boot-nfsroot-options
that the diskeless boot can use. I tried
boot-nfsroot-options = "nfsv3"
since the pxeboot does the initial mount via nfsv2, and this has at least
one problem: removing a file from the readonly / will hang the system.
so, the remount to v3 works in the case that the root is served by a Freebsd
nfs server, but fails if it's NetAPP. The reason is that the v2 filehandle
is 32 bytes, and when switching to V3 it becomes 28bytes - sizeof(fhandle_t).
This is not liked by the NetApp, which correctly gives error 1001: BADHANDLE
:-)
While I'm trying to come up with a solution, I am wondering if someone
can shed some light:
- is sizeof(fhandle_t) == 28 bytes is mystical, or changing it to
32 bytes will start WW3?
NFSv3 file handles (by spec) can be up to 64bytes.
I'm not 100% sure what is happening, but it sounds like the file handle
for the mount point or maybe one of the directories is not getting reset
on remount.
When do you get the BADHANDLE error? Can you capture a
tshark/wireshark/tcpdump of the remount and error?
