nfs-utils (1:2.8.4-2) unstable; urgency=medium This version removes blkmapd and the associated nfs-blkmap.service systemd service. pNFS block layout is deprecated in favor of pNFS SCSI layout. This is because block layout could easily result in data loss, as documented in . Users of pNFS are advised to move to the revised SCSI/NVMe layouts that are safe to use and don't require the use of blkmapd. -- Salvatore Bonaccorso Thu, 29 Jan 2026 22:21:44 +0100 nfs-utils (1:2.6.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium On systems running systemd, changes to command-line options in /etc/default/nfs-common or /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server will now be ignored. All those options can instead be set in /etc/nfs.conf or /etc/nfs.conf.d/; see nfs.conf(5). If either of the files in /etc/default has been changed, the command-line options will be converted on upgrade to the file /etc/nfs.conf.d/local.conf. A future update to nfs-utils will remove the command-line options in /etc/default entirely, so even on systems not using systemd you should make changes in /etc/nfs.conf.d/ instead. -- Ben Hutchings Sun, 13 Mar 2022 19:55:09 +0100
