Subject: [PATCH - nfs-utils] Fix fallback from tcp to udp
Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2014 10:43:07 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140218104307.34205fc8@notabene.brown> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1186 bytes --]


Protocol negotiation in mount.nfs does not correctly negotiate with a
server which only support NFSv3 and UDP.

When mount.nfs attempts an NFSv4 mount and fails with ECONNREFUSED
it does not fall back to NFSv3, as this is not recognised as a
"does not support NFSv4" error.
However ECONNREFUSED is a clear indication that the server doesn't
support TCP, and ipso facto does not support NFSv4.
So ECONNREFUSED should trigger a fallback from v4 to v2/3.

Once we allow that error, NFSv3 is attempted and mount.nfs talks to
rpcbind and discovers that UDP should be used for v3 and the mount
succeeds.
