I've installed Ubuntu 22.04 on a machine and I am trying to mount an NFS share which has no problems mounting on an array of other Linux Ubuntu machines (21.04, 20.04, 18.04, etc.).


The command we use is:


sudo apt install nfs-common # Only required once for installation
sudo mount -t nfs 10.234.123.11:/bfx_share1 /bfx_share1

If I do a:


sudo showmount -e 10.234.123.11

It shows the list of possible mounts, so everything is kosher in that respect.


It's just stuck there, not doing anything. Any ideas? Anything I can do or add to debug the situation? Any other clients not nfs-common?


I've installed nfstrace and while trying to mount the nfs folder, I kicked it off in another terminal, to obtain the prompt below:


## On one terminal

Looking at the release notes of Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish Release Notes):
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/jammy-jellyfish-release-notes/24668?_ga=2.137381111.630065420.1651222708-2033241278.1650531954


There is a section:


UDP disabled for NFS mounts
Since Ubuntu 20.10 (“Groovy Gorilla”), the kernel option CONFIG_NFS_DISABLE_UDP_SUPPORT=y is set and this disables using UDP as the transport for NFS mounts, regardless of NFS version.

In practice, if you try to use udp, you will get this error:

$ sudo mount f1:/storage /mnt -o udp
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified

###

NFS server
The NFS server and client packages have finally been updated to the latest upstream version.

All NFS services now read their configuration from /etc/nfs.conf and /etc/nfs.conf.d/*.conf, which is an INI-style configuration file, where each section is about one daemon or aspect of the NFS service. The old /etc/defaults/nfs-* configuration files are still left around, but are unused.

During upgrade, a conversion script is run if the package detects that the /etc/default/nfs-* files have been changed. This script is /usr/share/nfs-common/nfsconvert.py and it will read the options from /etc/defaults/nfs-* and generate /etc/nfs.conf.d/local.conf, which overrides the defaults in /etc/nfs.conf.

If the conversion script fails for some reason, the package installation or upgrade will fail, and the issue will have to be resolved. Please file a bug against nfs-utils in Launchpad 2 if you encounter such a scenario.

A new tool called nfsconf(8) can be used to query the configuration settings of /etc/nfs.conf and /etc/nfs.conf.d/*.conf.

##

the CTDB package was adjusted to work with the new NFS server version shipped in this Ubuntu 22.04


I've submitted a bug report in:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/1970898

While I am not entirely sure of the reason for this, I found that adding mountvers=3 to the mount options resolved the hanging problem.


so


mount -t nfs -o mountvers=3 <server_ip>:/path/to/shared-folder /path/to/local/mount

resulted in a correct mount.


My interpretation is that if multiple versions of NFS server (e.g. 3 and 4) are running on the same server, the mountvers will help use the right version.
