NFS4 mount problem with Cmod 8.2

SON01LAM02 — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 04:48:36 GMT

Hi, I have 2 problems with mounting to Cmod volume using NFS4

1) I cant mount to Cmod volume using nfs4 Linux Client . It work just fine if I mount using nfs3.

Here is the error I've got:

sake:~ # mount -o soft -t nfs4 cetnetapp1-client1.storage.tucson.ibm.com:/svt2_lnx /snapdiff/mnt2
mount.nfs4: access denied by server while mounting cetnetapp1-client1.storage.tucson.ibm.com:/svt2_lnx

2) I am be able to mount to same volume above using nfs4 on AIX Client but I can't see the .snapshot directory at all. I am able to see the .snapshot directory if I mount to the same volume using nfs3

Please help.

Below is my epxort policy and my volume detail.

I've only have one export policy as follow:

cetcluster::> vserver export-policy rule show -vserver cetnetapp1-client1
Policy Rule Access Client RO
Vserver Name Index Protocol Match Rule
------------ --------------- ------ -------- --------------------- ---------
cetnetapp1-client1

cetcluster::> vol show -volume svt2_lnx -inst

For you question #2

NFSv4 clients are not handling the file system ID (FSID) properly when crossing file system boundaries. On a storage system, the FSID of a snapshot is diffe rent from the FSID of the mounted volume. The NFSv4 client will refuse to cross this boundary, you can try mounting the directly, or you can simply try to navigate to the snapshot directory manually

Thanks

Hi, Thank you for your answer.

Just question another question though. is it the way nfs4 work on CMOD ontab only? since i was be able to mount to 7 mod volume using nfs4 and be able to see .snapshot directory just fine.

do you have any way to configure the nfs4 server and client so the .snapshot directory visible on nfs client system after mounting?

Thanks

Giang
