I've got a system running centos 7 hosting lots of filesystems available for NFS mounting. I've got a gazillion virtual machines that need to have their fstab edited to mount these filesystems. I've now discovered that mechanically editing the fstab doesn't work. On most of the VMs, if I say something like this: bob:/builder /bob/builder nfs rw,bg,hard,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0 then everything "just works", but as I go back in time, when I get to a machine running fedora 11, I get the highly informative "incorrect mount option" message. With lots of experimentation, I eventually found that I could change the type from "nfs" to "nfs4" and the mount would work. Is there a guide somewhere for which idioms to use for which version of linux I want to mount in? Is there any way to automate adding these fstab entries correctly? I thought the nfs server was supposed to automatically fall back to old protocols if the client didn't know something, am I missing some sort of configuration on the centos 7 host? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
