Is it possible to downgrade the nfs-kernel-server version

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES Install-Boot
1

I was using SLES 11 SP3 and when I upgraded to 11 SP4 I was unable to ls (list) any of the files on the server. But previously when I was running SP3 I didn’t have any issues with seeing the files. I was hoping to find a solution to downgrade the nfs-kernel back to the previous version. Current version is 1.2.3-18.38.43.1 and the SP 3 version I want is 1.2.3-18.29.1. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply, but that did not help. I can mount the nfs, I can save files there (because when I do an ls from the terminal of the server I can see the files there). I just can’t see the files from the client side.

Whilst unsupported there’s nothing to stop you from trying to install
the nfs-kernel-server-1.2.3-18.29.1 package from the SP3 media* - use
“zypper in --force nfs-kernel-server-1.2.3-18.29.1..rpm”.

However it would be better to officially log this with SUSE so it can be
fixed. Are you able to open a Service Request?

Note that specific version is the original as shipped with SP3 but has
since been superseded by 3 updates!
