I am trying to mount a filesystem from a RH7.2 system on a RH7.0 
machine.  However mount fails with the following errors:

[root@panda /mnt]# mount -t nfs wormhole:/export/backup /mnt/misc
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on wormhole:/export/backup,
        or too many mounted file systems

and -

Mar 30 17:50:07 panda kernel: NFS: NFSv3 not supported.
Mar 30 17:50:07 panda kernel: NFS: cannot create RPC transport.
Mar 30 17:50:07 panda kernel: nfs warning: mount version older than kernel
Mar 30 17:50:08 panda kernel: nfs: too small RPC reply size (0 bytes)
Mar 30 17:50:08 panda kernel: nfs_get_root: getattr error = 5
Mar 30 17:50:08 panda kernel: NFS: cannot create RPC transport.

Now, the blindly obvious is that the RH7.2 machine supports NFSv3 and RH7.0 
does not.

Is there a way to make the RH7.2 machine support the same version of NFS as 
is on RH7.0 - ie backwards compatibility ?

Matt
