Here's some debug output from the RPC_GSS_PROC_DESTROY request on the client: RPC: 0 holding RPCSEC_GSS cred ffff880011579bb8 RPC: new task initialized, procpid 2846 RPC: allocated task ffff88001e110000 RPC: 11 __rpc_execute flags=0x281 RPC: 11 call_start nfs4 proc NULL (async) RPC: 11 call_reserve (status 0) RPC: 11 call_refresh (status 0) RPC: 11 refreshing RPCSEC_GSS cred ffff880011579bb8 RPC: 11 call_refreshresult (status -13) RPC: 11 return 0, status -13 RPC: 11 release task RPC: 11 releasing RPCSEC_GSS cred ffff880011579bb8 ...looks like we're trying to refresh the credentials before sending the call but that's failing. That's as far as I've gotten with it so far though. -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
