My trouble-shooting yesterday just before I went home from work showed that
it seemed to have been gdm that borked out for some reason. I've never had
that happen to me, regardless of CentOS version.
Installing lightdm brought everything backup as expected.

Has anybody else had gdm act up?

Weird in any case.

Subject: [CentOS-announce] Announcing the release of Gluster 3.12 on
CentOS  Linux 6 x86_64
Message-ID: <20170922113243.gl4...@ndevos-x240.usersys.redhat.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I am happy to announce the General Availability of Gluster 3.12 for
CentOS 6 on x86_64. These packages are following the upstream Gluster
Community releases, and will receive monthly bugfix updates.

Gluster 3.12 is a Long-Term-Maintenance release, and will receive
updates for approximately 18 months. The difference between
Long-Term-Maintenance and Short-Term-Maintenance releases is explained
on the Gluster release schedule page:
  https://www.gluster.org/community/release-schedule/

Users of CentOS 6 can now simply install Gluster 3.12 with only these two
commands:

  # yum install centos-release-gluster
  # yum install glusterfs-server

The centos-release-gluster package is delivered via CentOS Extras repos.
This contains all 

[CentOS] mounting an nfs4 file system as v4.0 in CentOS 7.4?

2017-09-28 Thread Zube
CentOS 7.4 client mounting a CentOS 7.4 server filesystem over nfs4.

nfs seems to be much slower since the upgrade to 7.4, so I thought it
might be nice to mount the directory as v4.0 rather than the new default
of v4.1 to see if it makes a difference.

The release notes state, without an example:

"You can retain the original behavior by specifying 0 as the minor version"

nfs(5) states:

**
Recent kernels allow the minor version to be specified using the
vers= option.  For example, specifying vers=4.1 is the same 
as specifying vers=4,minorversion=1.
**

but in fstab or on the command line, using either form (vers=4.0
or vers=4,minorversion=0), if I run mount afterwards, I still see
vers=4.1 for the mount.

I'm missing something obvious, but the only thing obvious to me
is that I can't see it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Zube
