The other day I posted the description below of a problem I was having when I was mounting from a Sun 7310 server using NFSv3 and NFSv4 from a CentOS 5.3 client. It turned out that the solution was trivial - all I needed to do was to use the "noacl" option in my NFSv3 mount command. I still think that the client shouldn't have complained about not being able to preserve file protections since it was actually to do so. I'm still not sure if I should try NFSv4 but that's another issue.
