NFS client (which I guess is no longer experimental). The fstype "newnfs"
is now "nfs" and the regular/old NFS client is now fstype "oldnfs".
Although mounts via fstype "nfs" will usually work without userland
changes, an updated mount_nfs(8) binary is needed for kernels built with
"options NFSCL" but not "options NFSCLIENT". Updated mount_nfs(8) and
mount(8) binaries are needed to do mounts for fstype "oldnfs".
The GENERIC kernel configs have been changed to use options
NFSCL and NFSD (the new client and server) instead of NFSCLIENT and NFSSERVER.
For kernels being used on diskless NFS root systems, "options NFSCL"
must be in the kernel config.
Discussed on freebsd-fs@.
Since the existing implementation searches ':' backward, a path which
includes ':' could not be mounted. You can now mount such path by
enclosing an IP address by '[]'.
Though we should change to search ':' forward, it will break
'ipv6addr:path' which is currently working. So, it still searches ':'
backward, at least for now.

against a server that only supports UDP would result in an unusable

gssname - to specify a client side initiator host based principal name
which is specific to NFSv4.
It also includes a change to mount.c, so that it knows about

and server. This replaces the RPC implementation of the NFS client and
server with the newer RPC implementation originally developed
(actually ported from the userland sunrpc code) to support the NFS
Lock Manager. I have tested this code extensively and I believe it is
stable and that performance is at least equal to the legacy RPC
implementation.
The NFS code currently contains support for both the new RPC
implementation and the older legacy implementation inherited from the
original NFS codebase. The default is to use the new implementation -
add the NFS_LEGACYRPC option to fall back to the old code. When I
merge this support back to RELENG_7, I will probably change this so
that users have to 'opt in' to get the new code.
To use RPCSEC_GSS on either client or server, you must build a kernel
which includes the KGSSAPI option and the crypto device. On the
userland side, you must build at least a new libc, mountd, mount_nfs
and gssd. You must install new versions of /etc/rc.d/gssd and
/etc/rc.d/nfsd and add 'gssd_enable=YES' to /etc/rc.conf.
As long as gssd is running, you should be able to mount an NFS
filesystem from a server that requires RPCSEC_GSS authentication. The
mount itself can happen without any kerberos credentials but all
access to the filesystem will be denied unless the accessing user has
a valid ticket file in the standard place (/tmp/krb5cc_<uid>). There
is currently no support for situations where the ticket file is in a
different place, such as when the user logged in via SSH and has
delegated credentials from that login. This restriction is also
present in Solaris and Linux. In theory, we could improve this in
future, possibly using Brooks Davis' implementation of variant
symlinks.
Supporting RPCSEC_GSS on a server is nearly as simple. You must create
service creds for the server in the form 'nfs/<fqdn>@<REALM>' and
install them in /etc/krb5.keytab. The standard heimdal utility ktutil
makes this fairly easy. After the service creds have been created, you
can add a '-sec=krb5' option to /etc/exports and restart both mountd
and nfsd.
The only other difference an administrator should notice is that nfsd
doesn't fork to create service threads any more. In normal operation,
there will be two nfsd processes, one in userland waiting for TCP
connections and one in the kernel handling requests. The latter
process will create as many kthreads as required - these should be
visible via 'top -H'. The code has some support for varying the number
of service threads according to load but initially at least, nfsd uses
a fixed number of threads according to the value supplied to its '-n'
option.

via nmount(), build up an iovec where each iovec member is an NFS mount
option, and pass the iovec down to the kernel via nmount(). These options
are then parsed in the kernel.
This should make it easier to add new NFS mount options in future.
Many, many thanks to Doug Rabson for taking my initial patches,
and cleaning them up. In addition, Doug added a fallback_mount()
function so that the newer mount_nfs program will work against older
kernels, to facilitate upgrading/downgrading scenarios.
Doug also re-wrote the mount_nfs.8 man page.

in /etc/fstab. This isn't a real fix though and I'm still not sure
why it started failing. mount(8) breaks up the nfs args into seperate
repeated '-o option=value' arguments. But, the altflags variable that
we use to track things is incrementally built up each time we see the
next option and shows us the cumulative set of flags, not just the
flag that we are currently looking at. As a result, the strstr hack
for looking up flags in a giant -o opt=val,opt=val, etc string was failing
and causing a segfault. I do not know what changed recently that caused
this to suddenly break, but the code has been rather bogus for some time.

This code was nasty in several ways, it was hiding
the kernel bug where the kernel was unable to properly
load a module, and it was quitting if it wasn't able
to load the module. The consequence is that an ABI
breakage of the vfsconf API would have broken *every*
mount utility.
