I haven't looked at that part of the mount command, but usually distributors will cede that detail to the package maintainers to reduce the number of patches they have to apply. Let's assume /sbin is the correct place for mount.nfs, unless someone complains loudly. > In the instructions, I'll recommend > that the binary be copied as follows: > > $ sudo cp utils/mount/mount.nfs /sbin/mount.nfs > >> The tcp_wrappers package is needed to build nfs-utils in any case, >> so it would >> be helpful to mention that too. > > I'd like to leave that detail to the nfs-utils README. Does that sound > reasonable? If you're going to provide a blanket pointer to the nfs-utils README for building it, and omit any specific instructions from nfs-rdma.txt (aside from copying the mount.nfs executable), that sounds reasonable. -- Chuck Lever chuck[dot]lever[at]oracle[dot]com
