Introduction:
This page provides a list of packages necessary to make NFS client work over IPv6. This includes :
- kernel patches to provide the support of IPv6 in the sunrpc code and in the NFS client code,
- a new TI-RPC (Transport Independent RPC) library and a rpcbind portmapper
to allow the support of protocols other than the INET udp/tcp protocols
by the user RPC implementation,
- Modified nfs-utils packages to provide the support of IPv6 in the NFS mount commands.
Kernel part
IPv6 have been progressively integrated by Chuck Lever since 2.6.12. Use at least 2.6.22.
Kernel part:
Userland packages
- First of all, install TI-RPC that enable the use of IPv6 in RPC. It is available here
- The rpcbind is also needed to provide rpcbind/rpcinfo commands. It is available here
- An IPv6-ready nfs-utils package is needed to modify mount.nfs command. A modified package is available in version 1.0.10 here
