util-linux 2.12a-21 causes NFS mounts to fail

[acosta at ar.microlink.com.br]

Hi all,

we have here at work a couple of workstations running FC3, and our main servers are still running RH8. Last apt-get upgrade (today) installed util-linux 2.12a-21, which instantly caused NFS mounts to RH8 servers to fail with:

Mar 31 14:40:52 xxx automount[12141]: >> mount to NFS server 'yyy' failed: server is down.
Mar 31 14:40:52 xxx automount[12141]: mount(nfs): nfs: mount failure yyy:/home/l on /nethome/l

No noticeable error messages on the servers' logs.

Downgrading util-linux to 2.12a-16 (or 2.12a-19) brought things back to normal.

Anyone else experiencing this? Changelog from 2.12a-16 to 2.12a-21 is:

* Fri Feb 25 2005 <SteveD at RedHat.com> 2.12a-20

- Changed nfsmount to only use reserve ports when necessary
  (bz# 141773)

* Sat Dec 04 2004 Steve Dickson <SteveD at RedHat.com> 2.12a-19

- Corrected a buffer overflow problem with nfs mounts.
  (bz# 141733)

* Mon Nov 29 2004 Steve Dickson <SteveD at RedHat.com>

- Made NFS mounts adhere to the IP protocol if specified on
  command line as well as made NFS umounts adhere to the
  current IP protocol. Fix #140016

TIA

Andre
