When i do sich a thing, i recevie one more MOUNt request by the client,but this is a MOUNTv2 request. Later, the client sends the GETATTR, FSTAT & FSINFO commands(this is sent using the NFsv3 protocol), and sooon later, it sends the same commands with NFSv2. > Can anyone explain this behavior to me. Why might this be happening. I want to use a padded version of the file handle for the rest of the server activities. How do i go abt it ? > Maybe if you tried explaining why you want to pad the filehandle... I cannot see any reason to pad it, so I cannot picture what you are actually doing, so I cannot answer why it doesn't work.
