Synopsis
nfs-utils bug fix and enhancement update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An enhanced nfs-utils package that fixes various bugs and provides an
enhancement is now available.
Description
The nfs-utils package provides a daemon for the kernel NFS (Network File System)
server and related tools, which provides better performance than the traditional
Linux NFS server. This package also contains the mount.nfs, umount.nfs and
showmount programs. Showmount queries the mount daemon on a remote host for
information about the NFS server on the remote host. For example, showmount can
display the clients which are mounted on that host
This updated nfs-utils package includes fixes for the following bugs:
- NFS mount options could be lost when mounting with the "bg" option. This
occurred, due to an incorrect behavior, if the first try_mount() attempt failed.
With this update, the failure of try_mount() is handled correctly and the mount
options are preserved. (BZ#529370)
- The rpc.statd and rpc.mountd deamons could be using the same UDP port. With
this update, the problem occurs no longer. (BZ#541892)
In addition, this updated nfs-utils package provides the following enhancement:
- The nfsiostat and mountstats scripts were added. (BZ#648529)
All users of nfs-utils are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues and provides this enhancement.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
