Does anyone have NFSv4 working in Fedora Core 6?

[Arthur Pemberton]

Does anyone actually have NFS4 working on an FC6 machine? I've been
trying for hours to mount using nfs4.

When i using `mount` I get:
mount: pinging: prog 100003 vers 4 prot tcp port 2049
mount.nfs4: Operation not permitted

When I use `mount.nfs4` I get:
mount.nfs4: Operation not permitted

In addition to that, if I use any of the parameters for mount.nfs4
documented in its usage text, i get the usage text printed out again.

Please advise. My next option is to use samba if this doesn't pan out.

A few things to check:

1. selinux
2. firewall
3. exports incorrectly configured

Greetings Arthur,

I used the instructions from here to set up NFS v4:
http://www.brennan.id.au/19-Network_File_System.html#nfs4

I used it for a few days before switching back to NFS v3.

Hi.

I have the same problem. SeLinux is off, firewall on client is off.

# mount -vvv -t nfs4 192.168.200.1:/ /media/160gb/ -o
async,auto,exec,_netdev,nodev,rw,retry=5,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,proto=tcp,hard,intr
mount: pinging: prog 100003 vers 4 prot tcp port 2049
mount.nfs4: Operation not permitted

With -t nfs everything is ok.

Yes, I have it working:
mount
.
.
.nest:/ on /home/home1 type nfs4 (rw,addr=192.168.158.1)
.
.

Does /var/log/messages contain any information? And how about the
logfile on the server? I recall having the same issue, but don't recall
the reasaon. The logfiles however should give more details
