Assuming you mean v3, I've done this by setting nolock in the mount options and bypassing the mount protocol by configuring the root file handle on the client manually.

IPv6 eliminates the need for NAT, if your client and server support it and your network will pass the packets. -- 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
