NFS version

[Camel_1]

Hi there,

How can I force the nfs client to mount the FS in ver 3. I found some file system are mounted on ver 2 and some are mounted ver 3, even thought they are exported from the same server.

Thanks,

Simon

if your clients are on HP-UX 11.x you can use to option "vers=3" for the nfs mount.

see man mount_nfs

on other client OSs you would need to check the appropriate man page or similar.

If you force the NFS version as this user tried, take not of the fact that V2 may be requird for certain mounts.

Hi Simon,

Use

mount -F nfs -o vers=3 hostname:/path/to/dir /mnt_point

You should also make sure the server is not "forcing" a version 2 export as it will override the client request. Also some servers may not support ver 3 - especially if they're old & not up to date on patches.

HTH,

thanks guys ...

forgot to mention before, those NFS are mounted during the HA package start, not automount, how can I force them to mount on ver 3.

Thanks again.

Hi simon,

Even if the filesystems are mounted using a HA package, you are still using the mount command to mount the filesystem if it is defined in Customer_defined_run_cmds. If it is so, you can use -o vers=3 with the mount command to mount the filesystem using ver 3.

Hope this helps.
