as an actual example of what i'm talking about, if you take a look
at /etc/sysconfig/nfs on centos 5.5, consider these lines:
# Define which protocol versions mountd
# will advertise. The values are "no" or "yes"
# with yes being the default
#MOUNTD_NFS_V1="no"
#MOUNTD_NFS_V2="no"
#MOUNTD_NFS_V3="no"
theoretically, should i be able to uncomment all of those lines so
that mountd advertises only V4? i would have thought so but, if i do
that:
# service nfs restart

on the other hand, if i re-comment just the V1 line:
# service nfs restart

Shutting down NFS quotas: [ OK ]
Shutting down NFS services: [FAILED]

#
now that's just silly, no? i can start the mountd daemon as long as
i allow it to advertise NFSv1?
