To keep things simple I started from scratch. Just working on the server and testing my mounting using the server itself and this is what I have found /etc/fstab *** other unrelevant entries ***** /home /nfs4exports/home none bind,rw 0 0 /tmp /nfs4exports/tmp none bind,rw 0 0 inf1:/ /media/nfs4 nfs4 auto,rw 0 0 inf1:/nfs4exports/home /media/nfs nfs auto,rw 0 0 When I mount /media/nfs everything works as I would expect and I am seeing the files I expect When I mount /media/nfs4 the mount completes and I can see files but they are not the ones I expect ls -lsa /media/nfs4/home/ total 20 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 27 13:36 . 8 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Apr 27 13:22 .. 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 27 13:36 home-test ls -lsa /media/nfs/ total 24 8 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 21 14:21 . 8 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Apr 27 12:40 .. 8 drwx------ 2 clintd clintd 4096 Apr 27 15:23 clintd The home-test file is a test file I created inside /nfs4exports/home so it appears that NFS v3 sees and uses a bind mounted area as you would expect whereas NFS v4 is ignoring the bind and using the filesystem underneath which is very strange as all the reading I have done suggests that you now must now have bind configured for NFS v4 to work correctly. Thank you for any insight you can offer.
