Hi Chuck, Thanks for writing in. I am using the command line option -o vers=2. These 2 commands return different errors: mount -o vers=2 <ipv6-address>:<path> --> mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified mount <ipv6-address>:<path> --> mount.nfs: system call failed RHEL6 uses NFSv4 by default so the second command is expected to use NFSv4. Both the above commands execute successfully in case of ipv4 addresses. -- Regards, Upakul Barkakaty On Fri, May 27, 2011 at 12:06 AM, Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > On May 26, 2011, at 2:27 PM, Upakul Barkakaty wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> I have been contemplating about using an appropriate server that would >> support NFSv2 over IPv6. >> >> RHEL5 doesn’t support IPv6 over NFS by default.
