After updating to the current kernel (2.6.27.29-0.1) all NFS4 mounts fail with EINVAL. This is found at the system call level with strace as well as calling mount(2) directly from a C program. No traffic is sent to the server. portmapper, gssd, and idmapd are all running. NFS4 mounts were working fine prior to this update.
Verified for 64-bit xen kernel, 32-bit pae kernel, and 32-bit default kernel. Haven’t tested the 64-bit default kernel. Our only workaround is to back out this update.
