💅 nfs4_replace_transport(9) 💅

okay bestie, this is the nfs4_replace_transport(9) manual page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's giving “we’re setting up transport to the destination server” ✨🚚

🌸 NAME 🌸

nfs4_replace_transport — set up transport to destination server 💫

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int nfs4_replace_transport (struct nfs_server *server , const struct
nfs4_fs_locations *locations );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• server — the export being migrated, aka the main character packing its bags 🧳
• locations — the fs_locations array, aka the destination list we’re about to vibe-check 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Returns zero on success, or a negative errno value. No cap.

The client tries all the entries in the "locations" array, in the order returned by the server, until one works or the end of the array is reached. Literally going down the list until one hits — iconic behavior, fr fr 🔥
