[arch-general] NFS server question
All: For client tracking and recovery on reboots NFS provides some mechanisms. My understanding is that nfsdcld is considered replaced by nfsdcltrack. However, while there is a system service unit for nfsdcld there is nothing for nfsdcltrack. The binary for both is available. Only the systemd service file is missing. Further nfs-server service file hardcodes nfsdcld with no option to use nfsdcltrack instead. What is the modern preferred way for the server to do client tracking? Thanks, gene

Following up on self: (1) nfsdcld is what is still provided by upstream (nfs-utils) as of 2.4.1 from Aug 2019. (2) Newer kernels now report: kernel: NFSD: Using old nfsdcld client tracking operations. (3) Support for nfsdcld was added back to kernel in May 2019 [1] So, clearly nothing to do in Arch land - just wait and keep following upstream as usual. So just an FYI in case others notice the new message in logs. gene [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/15/1480
