Q: Failed to get the file attribute using nfs4_getfacl command from the client?

Scenario: When I tried to get the file attribute from the NAS via NFS using nfs4_getfacl command,
it failed and showed the error message, “Operation to request attribute not supported”.

root@tsd:/mnt/public# nfs4_getfacl testfile

Operation to request attribute not supported.

A: Most likely it is because you did not mount the NAS shared folder using NFS v4. You can type mount command to check it.
Eg:

root@tsd:/mnt/public# mount

10.64.72.30:/share/Public on /mnt/public type nfs (rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=262144,wsize=262144,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=10.64.72.30,mountvers=3,mountport=30000,mountproto=udp,local_lock=none,addr=10.64.72.30).

If the type is not “nfs4”, please re-mount the NAS shared folder using NFS v4 and try it again.
Eg:

root@tsd:/# mount.nfs4 10.64.72.30:/Public /mnt/public

or

root@tsd:/# mount -t nfs4 10.64.72.30:/Public /mnt/public
