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 Sachin Prabhu 2010-06-30 21:54:27 UTC
the nfs(5) man page states

--
       The fstype field contains either "nfs" (for version 2 or version 3  NFS
       mounts)  or  "nfs4"  (for NFS version 4 mounts).  The nfs and nfs4 file
       system types share similar mount options, which are described below.
--


This is incorrect. The fstype nfs can also denote NFS version 4 mounts. fstype nfsv4 is also provided for legacy reasons.

Comment 2 J. Bruce Fields 2010-11-22 16:12:12 UTC
This is fixed in utils/mount/nfs.man of upstream nfs-utils (now reads "The fstype field contains "nfs", for whatever version of the  protocol.")  There's been a lot of work on that man page which we may want to incorporate.

Comment 3 Ric Wheeler 2010-11-22 18:43:17 UTC
Bruce, can you pull in and update that man page for us?

Comment 6 Jeff Layton 2011-01-19 19:15:01 UTC
Looks like this was fixed as a side-effect of Steved's rebase of
nfs-utils to 1.2.3 for bug 637198. Closing as a duplicate of that bug...
