Description:   Opened: 2007-03-24 10:05 0000
in gentoo nfsd filesystem is mount in /proc/fs/nfs, as many sources state nfsd
should be mount in /proc/fs/nfsd

This could lead to various behaviors.
as a stupid example, one could check if a server support nfsv4 by doing cat
/proc/fs/nfsd/versions | grep +4

it seems that everyone think /proc/fs/nfs is for client & /proc/fs/nfsd is for
server



Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
nfsd is mount in /proc/fs/nfs
ls /proc/fs/nfs
exports     max_block_size  nfsv4recoverydir  portlist  versions
filehandle  nfsv4leasetime  pool_threads      threads
ls /proc/fs/nfsd

Expected Results:  
nfsd should be in /proc/fs/nfsd to be safer

as a ref this http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25106 show that
/proc/fs/nfs has been choosed to be the mount point (see comment#1) base on a
document from www.citi.umich.edu. but at www.citi.umich.edu they tell to
implement it in /proc/fs/nfsd

some sources
http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/linux/using-nfsv4.html
http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/index.php/Nfsv4_configuration (ok can't trust that
one as they trust the 1st one :D)
http://www.vanemery.com/Linux/NFSv4/NFSv4-no-rpcsec.html#notes (fedora
implemntation see notes #7)
a thread at lkml.org showing they use also /proc/fs/nfsd
http://lkml.org/lkml/1998/10/29/114

end with the example, but google also show that ubuntu & suse use also
/proc/fs/nfsd

btw i have found http://www.penguin-soft.com/penguin/man/7/nfsd.html, here they
say we can use /proc/fs/nfs OR /proc/fs/nfsd, anyway even if it's legal to use
/proc/fs/nfs as we do, i think it will be safer to use /proc/fs/nfsd instead

------- Comment #1 From SpanKY 2007-03-24 10:14:44 0000 -------
historically it has been mounted at /proc/fs/nfs, but /proc/fs/nfsd is the new
preferred location

fixed in cvs
