Does nfs4 work on fc6. Either I'm missing a critical setup step or it
is just plain broken. I can mount the directory with nfs v3, but when
I try nfsv4 I get the following error.
[root@arbol wolfgang]# mount arbol:/u/wolfgang /mnt -t nfs4
mount.nfs4: Operation not permitted
[root@arbol wolfgang]# mount arbol:/u/wolfgang /mnt -t nfs
[root@arbol wolfgang]#
I found some instructions at the following link, but I believe that
all my files are setup in a comparable (but not identical) fashion.
Surely someone has gotten this working. What was the trick?

Yes, I made it work.
If you configured your server correctly, then attempt to mount with nfs4
version should be made differently then with nfs.
nfs4 uses 'pseudo' file system and nfs2,3 not - they use absolute path
on the server. The root of pseudo fs is marked in exports file with
fsid=0 option. All other mount points on the client are referred
relative to that mount point. It is highly unlikely that you have it
matching the root of the server fs - you would be exporting the whole
server's file system root partition.
If you don't have this fsid=0 record in /etc/exports, then nfs4 is
confused and fails with the complain that you see.
Documentations is not clear on that at all, I figured it out by just
trying different things.
