Solaris mount agent fails to mount Linux NFS exported directory

Last published : Sep 23, 2026
The Solaris mount agent mounts the mount directories. At this point, if it tries to mount a Linux NFS exported directory, the mount fails showing the following error:
nfs mount: mount: <MountPoint>: Not owner
This is due to system NFS default version mismatch between Solaris and Linux.
The workaround for this is to configure MountOpt attribute in mount resource and set vers=3 for it.
Example
root@north $ mount -F nfs south:/test /logo/
nfs mount: mount: /logo: Not owner
root@north $
Mount nfsmount (
                                                                MountPoint = "/logo"
                                                                BlockDevice = "south:/test"
                                                                FSType = nfs
                                                                MountOpt = "vers=3"
               )
