Yes. NFS IS ABOUT USELESS IN UNRAID 6.8.0 Aug 4. NFS STALE FILE HANDLES (Seems to be ignored....) Disabling hard links does not solve all of my issues though. I have not tried since 6.8.1 first came about(i usually wait for the first minor release..). When 6.9.1 comes about I may try updating again and see how things go. The recent posts here stating recent issues with NFS don't give me hope though.

I came to the forums looking to see if the stale file handle thing in recent releases had ever been addressed. I'm still using 6.7.2 because of it. It's extremely annoying not knowing if I'll ever be able to upgrade. I don't use any other part of UnRAID except the NAS feature. I have one single Windows client(my work laptop) which I don't even access the NAS with. SMB is disabled. There's probably 15+ Linux clients in the house that however do need access to it. I remember seeing something about disabling hard links in 6.8+ and when I tried it it seemed to make things better-ish but I still had issues with a VM that needs to have a share mounted to do it's job. I would find that VM acting up and would then need to deal with it.. pretty much daily. That VM has two mounted file systems beside the main disk. One remote sshfs and one nfs from unraid. It would fail when copying a file from remote to unraid. Will NFSv4 fix my issues? I have no idea. All I know is 6.7.2 works flawlessly and any version past that does not. COULD I use SMB instead? MAYBE? I would have to test it against ALL of my use cases. Do I want to? No.. Should I have to with a linux based server and client? No... Is the lack of properly working NFS in a NAS solution bad? Yes. IF there is a technical reason why NFSv4 hasn't been brought over to unraid it would be nice if one of the devs could chime in and explain that reason. Others have asked for the same explanation and it's usually just *crickets* from the devs, but MAYBE i'll get an answer?
