NFS4 Remote Path Warning
At work we replaced one office workstation. The new motherboard has an AMD 3200G APU. To support this newer chip I installed the 5.8 kernel and latest firmware from the Debian backports repository.
When booting I noticed one particular error message:
NFS4: Couldn't follow remote path
Digging around the web indicates this is a common complaint by many people using newer kernels. One possible /etc/nfsmount.conf workaround did not succeed for us:
[ Server "_gateway" ]
Defaultvers=3
On a hunch I tried the following:
[NFSMount_Global_Options]
Defaultvers=3
The error messages stopped.
The errors also could be stopped by using nfsvers=3 in the NFS mount options.
