After nfs-utils-rdma-server is installed, configured, and running on the server, run: mount -t nfs4 -o rdma,port=,vers=4.0 :/ / server port: Use the value in the server's /etc/nfs-utils-rdma-server.conf (default 20049) ip address or name: Using an ip address is recommended, since you likely have two routes to the server, this forces it to use the RDMA-capable interface. NOTE: The ip address is used for basic communication. The actual file data transfers happen using RDMA. share name: The full path of the directory shared on the server. i.e. /home/user mount point: The local mount point you want to use NOTE: If you omit vers=4.0, it will default to using v4.2. v4.1 and v4.2 do not yet support RDMA, and you will experience undefined behavior - likely the mount will look complete, but when you use it (even cd or ls), the command will hang. nfs-utils-rdma-server NOTE: In your /etc/exports or /etc/exports.d/*.exports files, you MUST use the insecure option, because the NFS/RDMA client does not use a reserved port. This option ONLY means that the client can be using a port less than IPPORT_RESERVED (1024). NOTE: If you want to run nfs v4.0+ only, you do not need rpcbind. In this case, change /etc/conf.d/nfs-server.conf to contain: NFSD_OPTS="-N 2 -N 3" And, on clients, you muse use "mount -t nfs4 ..."
