Description Martin Schmettow 2005-12-22 12:23:10 UTC
I was annoyed by the 2GB restriction of nfs imported filesystems.
After enabling nfsv4 on the server (SuSE 10.0/10.1) and adding nfsvers=4 to the entry in fstab, mount says the following:

NFSv4 not supported!
NFSv4 not supported!
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on amidala:/store/Backup,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

/proc/config.gz says that nfsv4 is enabled.

CONFIG_NFS_V4=y
CONFIG_NFSD_V4=y

/var/log/messages as well as dmesg as well as server side messages say nothing.

Sorry but this is a configuration problem.  NFSv4 is the default
and it works on both client and server with the kernel 2.6 series.
At least here around with the home directories.  At least the
~/.xsession-error files can grow beyound the 2GB.
