Public bug reported: I was testing upgrading some computers to 12.04.3 (with the LTS raring kernel - 3.8.0) and came across a problem with NFSv3/ACLs and KRB5 security. Any access to the NFS mounted filesystem that tries to access the access control list (ACL) hangs.
The NFS server is running 12.04.3 with the normal 3.2.0 kernel. I mount the filesystem using: mount -o nfsvers=3,tcp,sec=krb5 fileserver:/export/home /home and it mounts fine. Afterwards though, if you try and do something simple such as an 'ls -l /home' then it hangs. Using strace to see why the ls -l hangs reveals that it is hanging at ..... lstat("/home/student", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 lgetxattr("/home/student", "security.selinux", 0xc77ea0, 255) = -1 EOPNOTSUPP (Operation not supported) lgetxattr("/home/student", "system.posix_acl_access" It all works fine if you either use the "noacl" mount option or remove the "sec=krb5" mount option. I have tried using 13.04 as the client and it has the same problem. I can also confirm that the problem exists with using the LTS raring kernel on the server. The LTS quantal kernel (3.5.0) as the client works fine.
