RHEL8.4: -s not working as expected, alongside sloppy mount option not working when not in leftmost position of mount options

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

There are two scenarios, here, where after upgrading to RHEL 8.4, the "-s" option is not working as expected, and the "sloppy" option needing to be in the leftmost option for it to work:

# mount -t nfs -s -o noquota,nosuid,nodev,noexec XXX.XXX.XX.X:/nfs /mnt
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified

If sloppy option is used on options string, it may not work exactly as before:

== 8.3

# uname -r ; rpm -q nfs-utils
4.18.0-240.10.1.el8_3.x86_64
nfs-utils-2.3.3-35.el8.x86_64

# mount -o quota,sloppy XXX.XX.X.XXX:/share /mnt 

== 8.4

# uname -r ; rpm -q nfs-utils
4.18.0-305.el8.x86_64
nfs-utils-2.3.3-35.el8.x86_64

# mount -o quota,sloppy XXX.XX.X.XXX:/share /mnt 
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified

If sloppy is used as leftmost option, then it would work:

# mount -o sloppy,quota,vers=4.1 XXX.XX.X.XXX:/share /mnt

Environment

  • RHEL 8.4
  • NFS
  • nfs-utils-2.3.3-41.el8.x86_64 and kernel-4.18.0-305.*el8
