Description of problem:
when trying to mount a nfs4 filesystem on another remote fedora core 3
(FC3), i got the following error repeated on the client syslog :
Dec 10 15:46:27 filer2 kernel: decode_getfattr: xdr error 10008!
Dec 10 15:46:43 filer2 kernel: decode_getfattr: xdr error 10008!

... while the mount command seems to be "freezed" (but interruptible
by ^C). So any of my attempts to mount with nfs4 failed.

Here is the config on both nodes:
kernel 2.6.9 compiled from tarballs from kernel.org, all nfs option
compiled-in the kernel itself.
Fedora Core 3 with unmodified tools (FC3 seems to natively support nfs4)
both portmaps on client and server listen only to localhost
(vanemery's doc allow access to portmap only to localhost, so i think
it does the same)

Server: nfs export of a XFS partition
$ cat /etc/exports
/vol/0/nfsroot  10.0.0.0/24(ro,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,sync)

The mount command on the client was:
mount -t nfs4 -o ro,intr 10.0.0.58:/ /home/

i used the AUTH_SYS method described step by step on the vanemery tutorial
(http://www.vanemery.com/Linux/NFSv4/NFSv4-no-rpcsec.html)
except the "acl" mount option because xfs doesn't accept it. (i think
xfs supports ACLs natively)

anyone has an idea about the "xdr error 10008" error ?

Thanks in advance,
