NFS error

I tried to map up a NFS share and i got this error:

"NFS Error: unable to Mount filesystem: the NFS server does not support NFS version 3 over TCP"

Then i found out that my NFS share only can use version 4, so when is ESX server going to support version 4?

Does your NFS server provide NFS services over TCP (in addition to UDP)?

It really should work with ESX. NFS is designed to be backwards-compatible.

If you NFS server is a *nix (Linux, Solaris, etc.) machine, please post the output of:

netstat -an

This will show which ports are "open" and if TCP 2049 is one of them.

Yeah it was the TCP who was the problem.

NFS is backwardcompatible.

Thx for the help.
