(You didn't say what client you are using.) If you want the FreeBSD client to do nfsv4 mounts without the option specified, you'd need to hack the mount_nfs.c sources and replace the binaries. (Although I don't consider the client experimental any more, using NFSv4 might still be looked at that way. At least, few want it to NFSv4 mount, so I haven't made it the default. That would also have not been backwards compatible for the switchover of default NFS client.) Also, if "vfs.nfsd.server_min_nfsvers=4" and "vfs.nfsd.server_max_nfsvers=4", a NFSv3 mount might?? work, but the mount point won't do anything useful, afaik. (ie. since mountd doesn't know about the sysctl, some clients may get past the "mount" without doing an NFSv3 RPC, but no NFSv3 RPC should work.) I don't know if this helps clarify things? rick
