Symptoms
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)]
Cause
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.
Resolution
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:
- Specify Remote Procedure Call (RPC) authentication flavor at the time of mount, for example:
sec=sys - Use the full mount path vs. alias.
