[Gluster-users] Restricting NFS-Ganesha to use NFSv4.0 only

Hi Kaleb,

It indeed concerns the RHGS 3.4 version (not the opensource version).
When mounting an NFS share from a random client, and the client does not specify vers=4.0 (or vers=4,minorversion=0 for RH6) it will still make a NFSv4.1 connection.
This is why we want to restrict it server-side to prevent issues (we even have a RH case about this since Nov 2017, still open since it will also be discussed with a RH solution architect soon, I was hoping someone from the community would have a solution ready to restrict the NFS version server-side).

Regards,
Nico van Roijen (ING)

Who is telling you that 4.1 and 4.2 aren't supported?

Because NFS-Ganesha does, in fact, support NFSv4.1, NFSv4.2, and pNFS.

(Maybe you're thinking of the nfs-ganesha server in Red Hat's RHGS (Red
Hat Gluster Storage) or RHCS (Red Hat Ceph Storage), where 4.1 and 4.2
are not supported.)
