ANNOUNCE: nfs-utils 1.0.11

ANNOUNCE: nfs-utils 1.0.11

[Neil Brown]

I have just made a release of  nfs-utils 1.0.11

It can be downloaded from 
  http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=14
or
  cc=country.
  http://www.{cc}kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/nfs/
or
  git://linux-nfs.org/nfs-utils

This should be the last 1.0 release.
I hope to do a 1.1.0 soonish that flips the default for subtree_check
to no_subtree_check, and removes "rpc.lockd" which is not needed by
any but two very old kernel releases.

There are various bugfixes and improvements.  Read through the log at 

   http://linux-nfs.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=nfs-utils;a=log

for details.

Unfortunately there are some problems with the
FS-Location patches you used... namely they don't
compile... So attached is the patch that takes
care of the compile problems...

The correction patch came from CITI, with a few tweaks
of my own... namely turning the syslog calls in
the mountd code to xlog calls..

The commit blob is relative to:
git://git.infradead.org/~steved/nfs-utils.git

commit b89bca96533c95a4e32c5f47048612acbdb707b0
Author: Fred Isaman <iisaman@citi.umich.edu>
Date:   Fri Feb 23 13:02:16 2007 -0500

        Extend the exportfs/mountd interface to pass fslocations info into the
    kernel

        Extend the exportfs/mountd interface to pass fslocations info into
        the kernel using syntax modelled after AIX.
    
        Adds "refer=" and "replicas=" to the options in /etc/exports
        to enable use of the kernel fslocation code.

Yes, I was waiting to figure out why the fslocations stuff isn't
working, even with this patch, before sending it.  I'll keep
looking...

Thanks Kevin, and thank for the fix you subsequently submitted.

Well, it looks like 1.0.11 was a brown-paper bag release.  So I have
just released 1.0.12 with those fixes and a couple of others.
Now to work on 1.1.0 with Steve's mount.nfs work.

Thanks,
