NFSv4 documentation

serverhamster

I'm looking for the proper way to set up NFSv4. Since version 9.0 this is the default, however the handbook contains no mention of version 4.

I haven't tried it on my upgraded servers yet, but I'm trying to connect a BSD client to a Solaris 10 server. Based on mount_nfs(8)(), I have put the following line in /etc/fstab:
Code: 
server:/aux    /aux    nfs    rw,nfsv4    0 0
When mounting, /aux shows the correct contents, but everything is owned by root:weel. In Linux, I would enable idmapd, but I can't find out how to do this in FreeBSD.

On the client, I have only set this option in /etc/rc.conf:
Code: 
nfs_client_enable="YES"
 
Here's my /etc/rc.conf settings for NFSv4 on the server:

Code: 
rpcbind_enable="YES"
nfs_server_enable="YES"
nfsv4_server_enable="YES"
nfsuserd_enable="YES"
mountd_enable="YES"
mountd_flags="-r"

In /etc/exports I have:
Code: 
/usr/ports -ro -maproot=root -network 10.71.13.0/24
/usr/src -ro -maproot=root -network 10.71.13.0/24
V4: /

On a client I have this in /etc/rc.conf
Code: 
nfs_client_enable="YES"
nfsuserd_enable="YES"

On the client's /etc/fstab I have:

Code: 
server:/usr/src /usr/src nfs ro,nfvsv4,late 0 0
server:/usr/ports /usr/ports nfs ro,nfsv4,late 0 0
 
I see. I missed a service in /etc/rc.conf
Code: 
nfsuserd_enable="YES"

Together with the FQDN as part of hostname in /etc/rc.conf this works. Now I only have to make sure the same users and groups exist on both machines or learn LDAP.

In the meantime, I found out that the helper programs to map usernames and UIDs have different names: nfsmapid on Solaris, rpc.idmapd on Debian, and nfsuserd on FreeBSD. (Thanks Michael W. Lucas)
