On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, mounting an NFS export from a Windows 2012 server failed due to the fact that the Windows server contains support for the minor version 1 (v4.1) of the NFS version 4 protocol only, along with support for versions 2 and 3. The lack of the minor version 0 (v4.0) support caused Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 clients to fail instead of rolling back to version 3 as expected. This update fixes this bug and mounting an NFS export works as expected.

Description of problem: With RHEL6.x, NFS mounts always fail against when mount an export on a Windows 8 server. The reason being, Windows 8 only support v4.1 and the RHEL6 client does not auto negotiate back to v3 as expected. Note, The Windows 8 server does indeed return the correct error NFS4ERR_MINOR_VERS_MISMATCH(10021). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Any and all RHEL6 releases. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mount win8:/export /mnt Actual results: mount.nfs: mount system call failed Expected results: The mount to auto negotiate back to v3 and succeed. Additional info: Workarounds: mount -o minorversion=1 # to used NFSv4.1 mount -o v3 # to use v3 Set the 'Nfsvers=3' variable in the "[ Server "Server_Name" ]" section of the /etc/nfsmount.conf file An Example will be: [ Server "win8" ] Nfsvers=3
