I don't have v4 running, but I do appear to have some v2 mounts. Now I
know about /proc/mounts, I'll see if I can find a client machine that
admits to owning the traffic:

I think I chose not to switch it on when I set up the NFS server.

I'd seen your problem in the archive but I wasn't sure how similar the
symptoms are and I didn't want to start a new installation by putting
non-standard parts in the engine. If it's configuration, I hope to find
my mistake; if it's a bug, I hope we can identify it so it can be fixed.

I'd agree that there doesn't seem any point in my environment in moving
to V4.
