Hi all,

I just installed my new fileserver and am now in the process of moving
my data from the old machine (running linux) to the new box (running
3.3). I was actually hoping to be able to use my new server for v6 NFS
access, but judging from the manpages and a feeble attempt to get it
working it seems that this is not available just yet :

$ host -t AAAA tomato.ipv6.weirdnet.nl
tomato.ipv6.weirdnet.nl has AAAA address 3ffe:8280:10:450:210:5aff:fe65:2b4a
$ sudo mount -o -T tomato.ipv6.weirdnet.nl:/mnt/music /mnt/weirdnet.nl/tomato/
mount_nfs: can't resolve address for host tomato.ipv6.weirdnet.nl

Are there plans/is anyone working on NFS over IPv6 for OpenBSD ? After
googling around a bit I found that NetBSD has support for this and
quite some time ago someone else asked a similar question (see
http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/255/2001/3/0/5326334/ which got
no reply as far as I could see).

Just wondering ;)

Cheers,

Paul 'WEiRD' de Weerd
