Thank you for fuse-nfs. To build it I had to do some research and trial and error; hopefully this minor change would save others the trouble.

Thanks. Merged.

Mind if I ask what you use it for? It was originally done "just for fun" and I did not expect much real use of this module.

Hi Ronnie,

I have a project at work where we are testing NFS servers that can come and go. We find that the standard Linux kernel client is buggy and difficult to use. If we get a hung mount, often the only remedy is to reboot. I’m experimenting with testing via user mode mounts and found your code (thanks for making it available!) At least with Fuse, if a mount hangs we can just kill the Fuse process and operations terminate immediately with I/O errors.

Cheers,

Curt
