I haven't used CentOS7 for several years, so I was ignoring this
thread in the hope others could answer.
My not very trustworthy memory is that "/etc/exports" on
the server needs the "insecure" option for NFS4 to work, see:
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3773891 for explanation
and some diagnostic tests. My take on diagnostics is:
I modified the options from (rw) to (rw,sync,no_root_squash,insecure)
and after that I finally could mount it in version 4. I've tested
earlier to add the insecure option, but I'm not sure if I then
remembered to restart nfs after the changes or not. Or if it is in the
combination with the other options that made it possible.
Thanks for all the help
