Hello,

Just to clarify this. The setup with automount adn NFS4 is new so I
while the NFS3 setup is working for years now. I never experience this
with NFS3 so it may be a NFS4 only problem. As you can see from the
mails I am not the only one having the problem with version 4 in this
regard. I think setups with automount and version 3 are much more common
so a regression there would have been noticed a lot faster.

Kind regards,
Michael
