rpcidmapd caching can cause ownership problems in an NFSv4 and NIS environment in RHEL 6

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • rpcidmapd caching causes ownership problems in an NFSv4 and NIS environment.
  • For a network using NIS and NFSv4, rpcidmapd caching uid/gid mappings can cause a problem if /etc/fstab mounts an NFSv4 file system remotely owned by a uid/gid which will be resolved by NIS.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6
  • NFSv4
  • NIS
