RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

[root@10 ~]# cat /etc/auto.master
/autofs /etc/nfs.misc  --nobind
[root@10 ~]# cat /etc/nfs.misc 
nfs localhost:/exports
[root@10 ~]# 

Modify the  value of mount_nfs_default_protocol to 3.

[root@10 ~]# grep -r mount_nfs_default_protocol  /etc/autofs.conf 
# mount_nfs_default_protocol - specify the default protocol used by
#mount_nfs_default_protocol = 3
mount_nfs_default_protocol = 3

Restart autofs and check mount info.

[root@10 ~]# mount |grep autofs

Perhaps this configuration option is badly described.

It is meant to be used to tell autofs what default will be
used for nfs mounts by mount.nfs, IOW when vers is not
specified with the mount options.

Maybe this should be automated, and removed as a config
option, by checking the contents of /etc/nfsmount.conf.

If it doesn't exist then it would be vers 3, if it does
exist then I would have to scan /etc/nfsmount.conf.

It isn't meant to have any effect on what mount.nfs does.

What are you recommending I do about this?
Comment 4 xiaoli feng 2017-10-09 09:50:18 UTC 
I think we can remove it. Because mount.nfs already has default version. By the way, remove /etc/nfsmount.conf. mount_nfs_default_protocol also can't work. It's just my opinion.

So you're asking me to write code to interrogate /etc/nfsmount.conf
so I can work out what the default mount version is?

That also involves knowledge of what version of nfs-utils made what
changes to this (further complicated because different distributions
may have made changes to different version of the package).

autofs does need to know what the mount.nfs default protocol version
is.

Removing /etc/nfsmount.conf is the same as if the default setting
is commented out. When this is commented out (or the configuration
missing), which it is by default, I have to assume it's version 4
or rely on the setting of mount_nfs_default_protocol both of which
could be incorrect.
