No nfsv4 support in mount
Last modified: 2005-12-22 12:44:41 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.
