It sounds like there are those of you who actually get NFS4 to work. I
have tried twice on FC6, and have yet to succeed myself, just gave up
and used NFS3. I opened a thread on the general mailing list about it
but got no real help.
I am running NFS4 with kerberos since FC5 (maybe even earlier) with only minor
problems here and there. There is a problem with krb5 since 2.6.18 that
prevents multiple mounts (bugzilla #218330) in FC5/6 so you might have some
problems.
