Well, I installed both kernels (.46.1 and .55.3). At boot time (grub), I select the "good" or the "bad" kernel. Then I simply try to run 'showmount -e <nfs_server_hostname>' or 'mount -t nfs server:/myshare /mnt/foo' (I ass With kernel .55.3: => showmount is just blocked and doesn't reply => mount usually blocks too, but it works, when I try to list the content of the mounted directory, the permissions are wrong ("all marked '???'") With kernel .46.1: => everything works! So the setup to reproduce should be fairly easy. If that helps, here's lsmod output (from .46.1): $ lsmod| grep nfs nfsv3 57344 0 nfsv4 913408 2 dns_resolver 16384 1 nfsv4 nfs 425984 3 nfsv4,nfsv3 fscache 401408 1 nfs nfsd 630784 9 auth_rpcgss 155648 2 nfsd,rpcsec_gss_krb5 nfs_acl 16384 2 nfsd,nfsv3 lockd 122880 3 nfsd,nfsv3,nfs grace 16384 2 nfsd,lockd sunrpc 651264 25 nfsd,nfsv4,auth_rpcgss,lockd,nfsv3,rpcsec_gss_krb5,nfs_acl,nfs So I guess I'm using NFS v4. The server is an old QNAP NAS Server that has never been upgraded recently): so nothing changed on this side => the problem is on the client, not the server. Also, I reproduced the same behaviour on 1 desktop and 2 laptops, all running Leap 15.4, all up-to-date. Definitely, the issue is between .46 and .49 IMO, as .55 is just the next failing version.
