Description of problem: With the F17 kernel, I was able to mount NFS (v4) mounts just fine. However while testing another bug I installed the F18 kernel on this machine, and now NFS mounts no longer work. $ sudo mount -t nfs4 192.168.0.249:/mnt/media /mnt/media mount.nfs4: No such device $ sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.0.249:/mnt/media /mnt/media mount.nfs: Connection timed out Nothing significant in kernel messages ... [18217.147943] FS-Cache: Loaded [18217.149885] Key type dns_resolver registered [18217.160996] FS-Cache: Netfs 'nfs' registered for caching Also, I have another F18 machine which cannot mount the same NFS partitions. AFAIK nothing has changed on the server side (which is RHEL 6.3), and other F16/F17 machines are able to mount the same partitions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.6.0-0.rc1.git4.1.fc18.x86_64 and on the other machine, 3.6.0-0.rc1.git3.2.bz844485.4.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try mounting nfsv4 volume ...

Cool, FIXED by updating to latest nfs-utils.
