Merge lp://staging/~saviq/cloud-initramfs-tools/nfs-support into lp://staging/cloud-initramfs-tools

Michał,
  Thanks for this. It generally looks fine to me. I'm OK to pull it into trunk, my only concern is bug 1039402.
  As I understand it, this is pretty much entirely broken without that bug fix in the kernel, right?

  If so, I'm just weary of pulling in code that is effectively "known broken". I'm not entirely opposed, especially if there is evidence that the kernel issue will be fixed. I'd definitely hold off on including it in ubuntu before raring release though.

  Thoughts?

More or less, mounting with server-side locking supposedly helps, but
you can't actually mount it like that in initramfs, and I couldn't
remount later, so yeah.

Perfectly agree. I mostly put it out there to get a feel whether I'm
getting anywhere with this. Holding off until the bug is fixed is perfect.

Thanks!

I'm quite intrigued by the feature as well. Nice work. Cool idea. I
agree with publishing the branch and putting it into a holding state
until the kernel bug is fixed.

Please excuse the harsh 'Rejected'.
I'm closing this right now because
a.) bug 1039402 makes it not really work
b.) i've moved code over to git.

If you want to re-submit, please feel free to do so to the git repo.
