Sintomi

A Network File System (NFS) client authenticated with Kerberos and possessing a valid Generic Security Service (GSS) ticket tries to mount an export using an alias but encounters a failure:

# mount -t nfs4 fullyqualifieddomain:/aliases01  /mnt/test -vvvv
mount.nfs4: timeout set for Wed Apr 10 12:14:37 2024
mount.nfs4: trying text-based options 'vers=4.2,addr=x.x.x.x,clientaddr=x.x.x.x'
mount.nfs4: mount(2): Operation not permitted
mount.nfs4: trying text-based options 'vers=4,minorversion=1,addr=x.x.x.x,clientaddr=x.x.x.x'
mount.nfs4: mount(2): Operation not permitted
mount.nfs4: trying text-based options 'vers=4,addr=x.x.x.x,clientaddr=x.x.x.x'
mount.nfs4: mount(2): Operation not permitted
mount.nfs4: Operation not permitted

OneFS responds with no values to the SECINFO call. Example of this from a packet capture:

Network File System
    [Program Version: 4]
    [V4 Procedure: COMPOUND (1)]
    GSS Data, Ops(2): PUTFH SECINFO
        Length: 36
        GSS Sequence Number: 3
        Status: NFS4_OK (0)
        Tag: <EMPTY>
            length: 0
            contents: <EMPTY>
        Operations (count: 2)
            Opcode: PUTFH (22)
                Status: NFS4_OK (0)
            Opcode: SECINFO (33)
                Status: NFS4_OK (0)
                Flavors Info
                    no values <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
        [Main Opcode: SECINFO (33)]

 

Causa

Usually, SECINFO provides selectable flavor values for valid File Handle (FH) access during mount.

   The new SECINFO operation allows the client to determine, on a
   per filehandle basis, what security triple is to be used for server
   access.

However, due to a code defect, the client cannot obtain its real target over preliminary compound with the ROOTFH. As a result, OneFS replies with no flavors, and the session is destroyed.

Risoluzione

The following code levels contain a fix:

  • OneFS 9.4.0.19
  • OneFS 9.5.1.1
  • OneFS 9.7.1.1
  • OneFS 9.9+

Workarounds to use until an upgrade can be performed:

  1. Specify Remote Procedure Call (RPC) authentication flavor at the time of mount, for example: sec=sys
  2. Use the full mount path vs. alias.
