That's what I'm guessing as well. I want to find out what versions all the connections are using to confirm that, but I don't know how. > The workaround I used to solve the problem was to instruct the server > not to accept NFSv1 nor NFSv2 connections. That's what I think I'd like to do, but I need to discover what all the existing mounts are and find out why any V2 ones are V2 and whether they need to be before I can turn off V2 mount support. > But, you can try to force a specific version on the mount command from > the client side by giving the parameter 'nfsvers=3'. eg: mount -t nfs -o > defaults,nfsvers=3 nfsserver:/share /mountpoint Thanks, I'll try that to at least see if I can fix the specific issue I have with this particular application.
