Description

Attempting to get an NFS mount setup on a clean install of V3.

VMWARE Photon OS 3.0
PHOTON_BUILD_NUMBER=11dd065

I've installed the nfs-utils package as suggested in v3 public docs.

tdnf install nfs-utils

nfs-utils  x86_64 2.3.3-4.ph3 @System 1.25M 1311215

However when i attempt to mount via mount -t <ip>:/mnt/share /mnt/share -v

I'm getting a mount.nfs: Stale file handle

mount.nfs: trying <id> prog 100005 vers 3 port UDP port 605
mount.nfs: mount(2): Stale file handle
mount.nfs: Stale file handle

I've tried the V4 RC and get a mount.nfs: Protocol not supported.

I know the NFS mount works. I can mount the nfs shares on my other machines. Do I need a different nfs-utils package repo?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the mount command on a clean Photon OS 3.0 install with the listed nfs-utils package, then compare the NFSv3 and NFSv4 output shown in the issue. Check whether the nfs-utils package or repository supports the requested mount; done means the known-working NFS share mounts without either error.
