[Gluster-users] Cannot mount NFS

Hi Horacio:

The NFS native server only works with NFSv3, I saw that in some of
your attempts your client might have negotiated using v3, but haven't
seen you explicitly specifying that in the mount call, perhaps you can
try something like this:

# mount -o nfsvers=3 gluster-nfs:/export /share

For further details, please see this bug report:

Cheers,

Bernard
