It is not as simple as specifying the type in an option to the mount command. NFSv4 only uses TCP and also uses a pseudo-filesystem. Configuration is radically different than previous versions of NFS.
First check to see if you are NFSv4 enabled. Using rpcinfo, you should see a line like the following. If you do not, you are not running NFSv4. You also need to ensure that port is open in your firewall for TCP.
You need to ensure the ID to name mapping daemon (idmapd) is running on the server and is configured correctly (idmapd..conf) You also need to do this for you client system.
You also need to ensure that the exports done through one main export point (the pseudofile-system), with all other exports grouped underneath the main export.
Once this is all done, you show check the setup using showmount -e <servername>
If your master mount is /NFS4, you should see something like
You then mount the main export, not shared_directory.
Do a Internet seach for "RHEL NFSv4 howto" or "Centos NFSv4" and you will find lots of information.
The server is NFSv4 enabled and the firewall is disabled. However, I could not get what you meant by this (am relatively newbie)
