I am not exactly sure what that is in the config for as when it is set, the nfs service fails to start even with <code>RPCNFSDARGS="-N 2 -N 3 -U"</code> set. (I suppose I could Google but figured I would leave a comment here to correct my above answer). Once again I’m back here for my quick n easy point of reference :)

I can confirm that 'rpcidmapd' is what you will need - it may be a typo as the rest of the post refers correcly. Also, MOUNTD_NFS_V3="no" can be used but IMHO, it would be best to leave that because NFSv4 can then still be mounted as NFSv3 in case of any difficulties. Now I have said that... perhaps fallback to NFSv3 would mean that it would not be wise to remove 'nfslock' either. On a final note for other readers... as this method does not use kerberos with any other types of authentication, you will also need a method to match users and group numbers across the server and clients (as with NFSv3)... for a small network (Like my home network)... I just create our few users on every machine which avoids the use of LDAP/NIS/etc (failing to do this will cause some strange owner and group numbers on the client machines and cause the share to be mainly unusable). Other than that... I also use this posting as a point of reference - good work! @mathiaz …It seems that after a month, this blog owner has not commented back regarding his useful NFSv4 posting.

Also, MOUNTD_NFS_V3=”no” can be used but IMHO, it would be best to leave that because NFSv4 can then still be mounted as NFSv3 in case of any difficulties.

On the client "service rpcbind start" I don't have any rpcbind. Is it rpcidmapd instead? On the server why don't you add MOUNTD_NFS_V3=”no” ? Thanks, Mathiaz hi,

good work !
very usefull!

On the client
“service rpcbind start”
I don’t have any rpcbind. Is it rpcidmapd instead?

On the server why don’t you add
MOUNTD_NFS_V3=”no” ?

Thanks,
Mathiaz
