Hi Olga, There seems to be a discrepancy between what you're seeing and what we're seeing. So we were wondering if you can you please run these commands in your Linux environment and paste the output of the mount command below? $ sudo mkdir -p /tmp/mnt.dead $ time sudo mount -o vers=4 -vvv 2.2.2.2:/fake_path /tmp/mnt.dead We'd like the mount command to specifically use "2.2.2.2:/fake_path" since we know it is unreachable and outside your subnet. We're hoping by mounting "2.2.2.2:/fake_path" you'll be able to reproduce the same behavior that we're seeing. Also, if possible, a packet trace would be helpful: $ sudo tcpdump -s 0 -w /tmp/nfsv4.pcap port 2049 On my Ubuntu VirtualMachine, I see this output: ubuntu@mikes-ubuntu-21-04:~$ time sudo mount -o vers=4 -vvv 2.2.2.2:/fake_path /tmp/mnt.dead mount.nfs: timeout set for Wed Jun 9 05:12:15 2021 mount.nfs: trying text-based options 'vers=4,addr=2.2.2.2,clientaddr=10.162.132.231' mount.nfs: mount(2): Connection timed out mount.nfs: Connection timed out real 3m1.257s user 0m0.006s sys 0m0.007s Thanks, Mike
