Description Yongcheng Yang 2017-03-29 07:36:11 UTC
Description of problem:
Configured the "/etc/sysconfig/nfs" to not permitting NFSv4.1 or NFSv4.2, then restore them all. It turns out that NFS minor version 4.1 and 4.2 are continued to be disabled.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nfs-utils-1.3.0-0.33.el7

How reproducible:
100% easy

Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo "RPCNFSDARGS=\"-N 4.1 -N 4.2\"" > /etc/sysconfig/nfs
2. systemctl restart nfs
3. echo "" > /etc/sysconfig/nfs
4. systemctl restart nfs
5. cat /proc/fs/nfsd/versions | grep '+4.1 +4.2'

Actual results:
-------------------------------------------------------------
# systemctl start nfs
# cat /proc/fs/nfsd/versions 
-2 +3 +4 +4.1 +4.2
# echo "RPCNFSDARGS=\"-N 4.1 -N 4.2\"" > /etc/sysconfig/nfs
# systemctl restart nfs
# cat /proc/fs/nfsd/versions 
-2 +3 +4 -4.1 -4.2  <<<<<<<<<<< 4.1/4.2 disabled as expected
# > /etc/sysconfig/nfs
# systemctl restart nfs
# cat /proc/fs/nfsd/versions 
-2 +3 +4 -4.1 -4.2  <<<<<<<<<<< cannot turn on them then
# 

Expected results:
Turn on the default NFS (minor) version as default. Even someone used to disable them before.

Additional info:
1. Specifying major NFS version ("-N 3" or "-N 4") doesn't have this problem;
2. Can reproduce this issue even with latest upstream nfs-utils version.

Method to work around:
Request that certain NFS minor versions using "-V" after that.
-------------------------------------------------------------
# cat /etc/sysconfig/nfs
# systemctl restart nfs
# cat /proc/fs/nfsd/versions 
-2 +3 +4 -4.1 -4.2
# echo "RPCNFSDARGS=\"-V 4.1 -V 4.2\"" > /etc/sysconfig/nfs
# cat /etc/sysconfig/nfs
RPCNFSDARGS="-V 4.1 -V 4.2" <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< to workaround it
# systemctl restart nfs
# cat /proc/fs/nfsd/versions 
-2 +3 +4 +4.1 +4.2
# > /etc/sysconfig/nfs
# cat /etc/sysconfig/nfs
# systemctl restart nfs
# cat /proc/fs/nfsd/versions 
-2 +3 +4 +4.1 +4.2

This issue still exists in latest rhel7. Maybe it's kernel side to fix it.

[root@test_machine ~]# ./test_rhel7.sh 
# Disabling all nfsv4
-2 +3 -4 -4.1 -4.2
# Disabling only v4.1
-2 +3 +4 -4.1 +4.2
# Disabling only v4.2
-2 +3 +4 -4.1 -4.2
# Now start it by default
-2 +3 +4 -4.1 -4.2   <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< reproduced
# Workaround to enable v4.1 v4.2
-2 +3 +4 +4.1 +4.2
[root@test_machine ~]# uname -r
