Hi Leann, Thank you very much, the behaviour is different now! But it still does not work as I intended :-) So my initial problem seems to not be dependent on CONFIG_NFS_USE_NEW_IDMAPPER as I thought at a first glance. I've tried to set up NFS for nearly 3 days now, but no luck so far. I have set up two VM's with clean installations of Ubuntu 12.04 server and desktop (64 bit).
Without CONFIG_NFS_USE_NEW_IDMAPPER the user id of nobody is 65534 and with CONFIG_NFS_USE_NEW_IDMAPPER set, the id of nobody is MAX_INT32 - 1 or something like that. Thats the only difference I've seen so far. I've narrowed down my problem to the fact that "squash_all" neither works with a NFSv3 nor with a NFSv4 mount on both the official and Leann's kernel. Could somebody test if squash_all works for him or her on the latest kernel? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/974364 Title: CONFIG_NFS_USE_NEW_IDMAPPER is unset in ubuntu kernel config, this causes nfs4 id-mapping to fail To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/974364/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
