The specific patch from comment 7 of this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=829362#c7 Is already in the current version of the nfs-utils for CentOS 6.3, specifically: if (nfs4_init_name_mapping(conf_path)) errx(1, "Unable to create name to user id mappings."); The above 2 lines are located at line 305 of utils/idmapd/idmap.c of the source code, so I do not think your issue is the one that comment 7 (or comment 8) have written patches to fix. The way to get this fixed is for someone to verify that the problem exists in RHEL 6.3 and then submit a Red Hat bug entry for that. They are not likely to fix issues that mention CentOS in the bug, as they don't support CentOS. Another option is for a member of the CentOS community to verify this issue and figure out how to fix it. If someone comes up with a fix for the issue, then I will happily compile a version for testing and submit the specifics upstream to get it included in a future update. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
