Linux image 3.6.0+ breaks NFS and/or symlinks
I have been running linux-image 3.5.2 on debian sid since the release of 3.5.2. I have not had any issues with nfs. Today I installed 3.6.0 and my nfs does not work. The server location is mounted in the client /etc/fstab but file manager does not see the symlinks. What has changed in the way the kernel handles nfs in 3.6?
Edit: This may be the same issue with symlinks as mentioned here
Edit 2:
nfs symlinks in /etc/fstab:
Code:192.168.1.100:/home/jheaton5 /home/jheaton5/chico nfs rw,hard,intr,sync 0 0 192.168.1.100:/home/jheaton5/chico /home/jheaton5/chico/chico nfs rw,hard,intr,sync 0 0

Did you compile the 3.5.2 kernel by hand? How did you compile the 3.6.0 kernel? Did you use make oldconfig?

The 3.5.2 kernel works just fine. I compile the latest kernels from kernel.org by the following method:
The problem with nfs began with 3.6.0 and persists with 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 which I compiled this morning.Code:$ git clone -o stable git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux $ cd linux $ git checkout stable/linux-3.6.y $ cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config $ make localmodconfig $ make deb-pkg # dpkg -i ../<name of package>

Sounds like you may have found a bug alright.

It is a known issue as the link I provided in the original post. I can't find any additional information on what's being done about it, if anything.
