Mounting a NFSv3 share with UDP fails when the server is multi-homed and on RHEL 6
Issue
-
When a client attempts to mount a NFS share using a virtual ip on a multi-homed machine, the mount may fail if
- A RHEL 6 client was used.
- A RHEL 5 client was used but firewall rules reject packets with the source set to the default address for the server.
-
Mounting with TCP is handled correctly.
Environment
- NFS server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
- NFSv3
