I recall an email discussion with Jason Mader w.r.t. what the behaviour of mountd(8) should be when an NFSv4 only server is being run. (I seem to have misplaced the email, so if I recall incorrectly, I apologiz= e and hope that Jason will correct me.;-) mountd(8) serves the Mount protocol, which is related to NFSv2 and NFSv3, b= ut has nothing to do with NFSv4. - At first glance, that would suggest that mountd(8) shouldn't serve Mount = protocol RPCs at all for a NFSv4 only server. However, this would imply that "showmount -e" would not work. I recall that Jason felt that "showmount -e" is useful, at least when run= locally on the server. As such, how does having mountd(8) service Mount protocol requests only fro= m localhost (127.0.0.1 and ::1) and only handle the Export RPC, when the NFS server is = configured as NFSv4 only via vfs.nfsd.server_min_nfsvers =3D=3D 4? Any comments, concerns or other ideas please, rick
