[Xen-users] NFS boot of Xen DomU - Goes to NFS version 2

[pushkar rajkarnikar <pushkar_buet@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I'm facing a typical problem of booting Xen DomU
through NFS server. I have cleanly booted Xen guest
(Debian) through NFS Server. But the problem is that
the NFS version between my server and my debian system
is version 2. I want to play around with version 3. 

My /etc/fstab of my debian system (DomU) which I am
accessing through NFS server looks like this.

192.168.23.239:/export/Debian / nfs
rw,hard,intr,nfsvers=3,tcp,async 0 0

And, I have all the necessary packages needed to
suppport NFS version 3 intalled in my DomU (Debian) as
well as NFS Server. But still they communicate using
version 2. Why is that??

In the output of Xen while booting DomU we get these
two lines ...
Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 192.168.23.239
Looking up port of RPC 100005/1 on 192.168.23.239

(192.168.23.239 is my NFS Server IP)
Does this tell something? Is it that Xen tries for NFS
(100003) version 2 and mount (100005) version 1
despite what we write in the fstab file given in our
DomU system?? Is it that we need to change some
configurations in the Xen itself? ( Needless to say I
have done all i need while compiling kernel regarding
the support for NFS version 3/root support etc .)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or leads.

Regards,
Pushkar.
