SUMMARY: Force Automounter to use NFS2

My original question:

  We're trying to force Automounter (DU 3.2) to use NFS V2 (default is NFS V3)
  even if the NFS server is NFS V3 -- without success. The /etc/auto.master
  file has these two lines

        /- /etc/auto.direct -nfsv2
        /home /etc/auto.home -nfsv2

  And I use "/usr/sbin/automount -m -f /etc/auto.master" to start automounter.
  All the remote file systems are mount in NFS V3 except those whose NFS
  server is NFS V2. The /var/adm/syslog.dated/../daemon.log file has this
  message:

        map /etc/auto.direct: WARNING: default option "nfsv2" ignored.

  I can manually mount NFS file systems in NFS V2 using "mount" command.

  Is this a bug with DU's Automounter? Or is there something I'm missing?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.



Answer:

  Prior to DU 4.0, the '-nfsv2' option is not supported in automount. Use
  '-vers=2' (although both options are documented).
