Issue

  • When running the NFSv4.x client command ls -l (or ll), the user and group show up erroneously as nobody as shown below:   
  • NFS3 mount:

[root@nfs_SVM> mount_point]# ls -l test1
-rw-r--r--. 1 user1 gid2 0 Oct 18 12:34 test1

  • NFS4 mount:

[root@NFS_SVM> mount_point]# ls -l test1
-rw-r--r--. 1 user1 nobody 0 Oct 18 12:34 test1

  •  Some of the flexclone volumes are getting mounted with NFS 4.x , however the file permission shows as “nobody”.
  • When the same flexclone was being mounted using NFS v3, it works fine without any issues.
