reverted back to NFSv3 and have had no problems with it. Are folks satisfied with NFSv4? Or, am I the stupid one for trusting the default on the distro? I'd appreciate any general remarks you might have on how to move forward.
I've been put off NFSv4 becuase I cannot understand how to export several directory trees in differenet partitions. NFSv4 seems to want you to merge them into a virtual partion and export that, but the kernel cannot cope with the different bits of the virtual partition having different permission modes. So I can't export a read only partition and a read-write partition without the kernel becoming dangerously confused :-( I went back to NFSv3. -- Dr. Andrew C.
