Re: [NFS] [PATCH] kNFSD - Allowing rpc.nfsd to setting of the port, transport and version the server will use

Hey Bruce,

So the obvious question is what will happen if someone does

	rpc.nfsd -N 3

on a server supporting 2, 3, and 4.

It looks like the code in svc_create() will set pg_lovers to 2 and
pg_hivers to 4 in that case.  So if someone tries to use version 3, the
error they get back will be a somewhat contradictory "sorry, I only
support versions 2 through 4."

hmmm.... good point... But I wonder if this would be better
handled in rpc.nfsd process; Similar to what happens when
no transports are specified (i.e. both -T and -U flags are set),
the server fails to started.

steved.
