Accessing NFS mounted share in Finder no longer works in 10.5.3+

I have setup an automounted NFS share previously with Leopard against a RHEL 5 server at the office. I had to go through a few loops to punch a hole through the appfirewall to get the share accessible in the Finder.
A few months later when I returned to the office after a consultancy stint and upgrades to 10.5.3 and 10.5.4 the NFS mount no longer works. I have investigated it today and I can't get it to run even with the appfirewall disabled.
I've been doing some troubleshooting, and the interaction between the statd, lockd and perhaps the portmap seem a bit fishy, even with the appfirewall disabled. Both the statd and lockd complains that they can not register; lockd once and statd indefinitely.
Jul 2 15:17:10 ySubmarine com.apple.statd[521]: rpc.statd: unable to register (SM_PROG, SM_VERS, UDP)
Jul 2 15:17:10 ySubmarine com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.statd[521]): Exited with exit code: 1
Jul 2 15:17:10 ySubmarine com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.statd): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
... and rpcinfo -p gets connection refused unless I start portmap using the launchctl utility.
This may be a bit obscure, and I'm not exactly an expert of NFS, so I wonder if someone else stumbled across this, and can point me in the right direction?

Sorry for my late response, but I have finally got around to some trial and error. I can mount the share using mount_nfs (but need to use sudo), and it shows up as a mounted disk in the Finder. However, when I start to browse a directory on the share that I can write to, I end up with the lockd and statd failures.
$ mount_nfs -o resvport xxxx:/home /Users/yyyy/xxxx-home
mount_nfs: /Users/yyyy/xxxx-home: Permission denied
$ sudo mount_nfs -o resvport xxxx:/home /Users/yyyy/xxxx-home

I guess that the Finder somehow triggers file locking over NFS.

  • Accessing NFS mounts in Finder

    I currently have trouble accessing NFS mounts with finder. The mount is O.K. I can access the directories on the NFS server in Terminal. However, in Finder when I click on the mount, instead of seeing the contents of the NFS mount I only see the "Alias" icon. Logs show nothing.
    I am not sure when it worked the last time. It could well be that the problem only started after one of the lastest snow leopard updates. I know it worked when I upgraded to Snow Leopard.
    Any ideas?

    Hello gvde,
    Two weeks ago I bought a NAS device that touted NFS as one of the features. As I am a fan of Unix boxes I chose an NAS that would support that protocol. I was disappointed to find out that my Macbook would not connect to it. As mentioned in previous posts (by others) on this forum, I could see my NFS share via the command line, but not when using Finder. I was getting pretty upset and racking my brain trying to figure it out. I called the NAS manufacturer which was no help. I used a Ubuntu LiveCD (which connected fine). I was about ready to give up. Then, in another forum someone had mentioned the NFS manager App.
    After I installed the app and attempted to configure my NFS shares, the app stated something along the lines of (paraphrasing) "default permissions were incorrect". It then asked me if I would authenticate to have the NFS manager fix the problem. I was at my wits end so I thought why not. Long story short, this app saved me! My shares survive a reboot, Finder is quick and snappy with displaying the network shares, and all is right with the world. Maybe in 10.6.3 Apple will have fixed the default permissions issue. Try the app. It's donationware. I hope this post helps someone else.

  • ICal Find no longer works

    Ever since my boot drive filled a few days ago, Find no longer works in iCal.
    The Find Details pane opens, but it's always empty.
    I suspect some index or DB got corrupted, but have no idea how to reset/refresh/restart it.

    Better get it "unfilled", your OS needs that space for Virtual Memory. Rule of thumb at least 15% free space.
    Use WhatSize or OmniDisksweeper can help you find what's hogging your disk space.

  • Apache access to mounted shares.

    I keep trying to encourage my company to use our X Server for all the wonderful web stuff it does. So somebody has to help me please?
    I've got Apache, MySql, PHP all up and running, and the application developed mostly. BUT... I need to serve some images that are on a Windows server with a custom application. That server doesn't run any Web server, and I don't even want to go there....
    Here is what I tried so far:
    1) Connect to the Server with Finder. This "works". I can see the server and browse the files in Finder. Unfortunately, only the user that connects to the windows server has any permissions to the file. I checked with Terminal and LS -l and the permissions are DRWX------. Since Apache on the Server runs as WWW, it doesn't have access to the file. I tried to do a CHMOD 744 on the diretory, but it is basically ignored (no error message, no change).
    2) Use mount_smbfs. This lets me mount the Windows server within the Documents directory, and lets me set the permissions so that they are RWXR--R--. But Apache still can't serve the jpg file. The Apache error log says "failed because search permissions are missing on a component of the path".
    Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong? XSERVE 10.4.6
    Thanks...

    Well, I have a very uggly work around that I will document, but not recommend. It is pretty resource intensive, and not particularly secure, but it works for our limited environment.
    The application was simple enough that if I could copy the files I needed to a local drive, then things would work.
    PHP can execute a system command, and that command runs as WWW (the Apache id), so what I ended up doing was checking to see if the file I needed was already on the local system (in a directory that WWW can access). If the file was not already there, then I would exec('smb_client....). Since you can include a command on the smb_client command line, I just included a command to copy the file I was looking for.
    This is NOT a recommended solution... it is simply something that works for me..
    1) PHP does not encourage running system commands under Apache. If the command hangs, you can hang Apache.
    2) Running the client like this uses all the resource to establish the smb connection for each file I needed to copy, then tear it down.
    As you can see, if you do this a lot, it could slow things down.
    While I was writing this up, it occured to me that another option would be to have PHP see if the share was mounted, and if not, then it could issue the smb_mount command as WWW. I will have to try this next time I get some time on the server for testing.

  • Option-drag contacts to Finder no longer works in Mavericks

    In all versions of Contacts and Address Book you could select multiple contacts, hold down the option key, then click and drag them into a folder, which would result in a separate vCard for each contact. If you did not hold down Option prior to dragging, all contacts were combined into a single vCard (eg: John Smith and 10 others.vcf).
    I just installed Mavericks and now the option-drag method no longer works. As I drag the contacts to a folder everything looks like it is working as normal, except that when I drop, nothing shows up in the finder, the folder remains empty. If I don't hold down the option key, it works as normal and a single vCard is created for multiple contacts. Dragging one at a time also still works.
    I would like to know if others are experiencing this as well. I assume this must be a bug, as without this ability the only way to export multiple separate vCards (that I know of) would be to drag them one at a time.

    It's frustrating when Apple removes a feature you're used to using...  But when they close a door.... 
    Do the following:
    1) Open the Contacts Application and select all the contacts you want to export
    2) Open the Automator application and create a New Workflow
    3) Select "Contacts" from the Library panel at the left
    4) Drag the action "Get Selected Contact Items" from the middle panel and select "Get Selected PEOPLE" from the drop-down menu.
    5) Drag the action "Export vCards" from the middle panel and select "Export INDIVIDUAL VCARDS" from the first drop-down menu and select a destination FOLDER from the second drop-down menu. Just create a new folder on your Desktop and select it, you don't want to save directly on the Desktop as this will put all your individual vcards there.
    6) Run the workflow by hitting the PLAY button at the top-right of the window.
    Optionally, you can save the workflow for future use, but the best practice would be to use the Get Selected Items and not the Get Specified Items, as the later would only export the contacts you already have there and not the new ones, I believe.
    In any case, there's the window!
    Rick.

  • Is installing from a NFS mounted share on Windows supported?

    In order to make our automation using the same structure, we need to put the Siebel server for Windows software on Linux and then export it as a NFS share and mount it from Windows, then do the installation on to the Windows Local disk. NFS is not native to Windows, has anyone tried this before and is this offically supported? Thanks!

    I think so, if I understand what your question is.
    We have installed our installation software on NFS for the purpose of automating our installation process. Each target server has the same structure and we use this automation for Windows and Linux.
    Don't know if it is supported by Siebel though.

  • Lion 10.7.4 Finder no longer working

    Hi all
    I am posting here as a last resort and i have looked at all the posts i could find on this and still no joy. I will outline what i have done to date below and hopefully someone here can help.
    The problem
    Logged off two days ago and when i logged back in, whenever I tried to open finder to look at any drives, either internal/ external or files it just hangs with a "not responding". I didnt do any updates during the period on any software
    Also programs like Itunes also hang with a not responding and dont seem . So i thought Firewall? Permissions? Hardware? Lion problem, User account config problem?. One other wierd thing that happens is the ethernet server connection keeps resetting. I can access the internet via web browser and software updates are fine. Firewall is open.
    I have not updated software to 10.7.5 as i dont think it will solve the problem
    So far i have done the following.
    Disk repair/permissions etc - All ok
    Disk repair /Permissions etc from install disk - all ok
    Checked admin user and harddrive permissions and couldnt see anything there
    Safe boot start up - Problem is not there and seems fine - So assumed user config issue or software
    Hardware Check (Just in case) - All Ram OK disk images ok. Graphic card ok
    Guest Account- logged in and problem exists.
    Deleted user account started a new one- Problem exists
    PRAM reset-  problem still there
    Rolled back to earlier version from Time machine - Problem still there
    Reinstalled Lion from backup HD and problem still there.
    I have not deleted Plists yet as im a bit hesitant but not sure if thats the problem
    So as you can see appart from multi wiping the HD and a complete reinstall im running out of options and i was really wondering if anyone here could help

    Ok a quick update after spending a bit more time on this and countless hours looking through the logs i think ive found out what the problem is
    So deleting the Plists worked a dream and also reseting the permissions whilst in lion recovery mode also worked.
    CMD R whilst start up, select utilities, open terminal & type in passwordreset. This will give you a screen but dont change any passwords. Just go to the bottom and reset the folder permisions of the users.
    However in resetting all of this and reinstalling lion there is somehow now another  problems when i now try and access my NAS folder im getting these logs with MDS running hot but im not clear why spotlight is trying index an external NAS harddrive it would seem its creating probs with the Kernal but not sure , anyone else understand this better than me?

  • Show In Finder no longer working for dock icons

    When I context-click / right-click an item on my dock, followed by the Options -> Show in Finder, it no longer does anything. It has previously opened the Finder and revealed the item, as it is supposed to, but now, it does not work. Has anyone encountered this and / or know of a resolution for it? Thanks in advance for your help

    try logging out/in or restarting. if that does not help delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and log out/in. your dock, spaces and exposé will be reset to the defaults. see if it works now.

  • Screen Share Snow Leopard No longer works

    Please help!!
    I used to have no problem sharing screens from my Mac Pro running 10.6.6 with my Mac Pro Book running 10.6.8.  When I upgraded my tower to 10.6.8 screen sharing ceased to work as did internet sharing over the eathernet port.  I am able to log in and grab files but not share screen or internet.  WHAT DO I DO?  This is a big problem for my work flow.

    I don't know the answer to this sepcific problem, but often these are caused by changes in preference file formats.
    Tearing down the authorization for Internet Sharing and/or Screen Sharing and setting it up again may change something that makes it work again.

  • Autofs timeout while accessing to remote NFS mount

    Following Apple recommendations, I switched to "Directory Utility" to configure NFS mounts. As far as I understand, if you do so, the mounts are handled by automount which is itself called by autofs. The good thing of this is that autofs is unmounting unused mounts (after a timeout of 3600 seconds as defined in /etc/autofs.conf). Any time you need the remote drive (Finder call, ls in Terminal..., opening file), autofs is remounting ressource. This is a nice behaviour... in theory.
    I'm using some codes (written in IDL) that are reading and writing on that remote NFS server once every 5 minutes. Theoretically, autofs should be detecting these accesses and should keep the drive mounted. This is unfortunately not the case. The drive is unmounted 3600 seconds after I last accessed the mount through the Finder or with any other Application.
    There is apparently no way to remove this "automated unmounting" feature. I tried to set the timeout delay to a very large number (1 day) but it still disconnects me after this delay, if I don't do anything else than running my IDL code. If I mount the NFS share with the "mount_nfs" command, it works perfectly, as it is not handled by autofs.
    I wonder then if there is any recommandation on Apple's side in such a case, other than going back to traditional mount_nfs.

    As you have discovered, automount/autofs is also an "auto-unmounter" and there is no way to remove that feature. Contrary to what one might think, the auto unmounting does NOT happen after a period of "inactivity" of the mount. This is because autofs has no way of knowing when an automounted file system was last accessed. So, instead it periodically attempts to unmount it - if it is busy it won't get unmounted - if it isn't busy it will get unmounted.
    You can't disable this - but you can make the periodic unmounting so infrequent as to effectively disable the feature. Try setting the AUTOMOUNT_TIMEOUT interval to something really large - like 315360000 (which would be 10 years).
    However, in theory, this auto-unmounting should not be a problem because if it does get unmounted then the next access to that file system should cause it to get mounted again. And all this should happen without the code that is accessing the automount knowing that it isn't always mounted. It should always be there when it is accessed. So, the usual response to someone asking how to disable the auto-unmounting is to ask why they think it is a problem.
    (Oh, and you don't have to use "mount_nfs" - just "mount" should work to manually mount an NFS file system (that saves a little typing).)

  • Cannot write to NFS mount with finder

    hi folks
    i have moved from a G4 cube running 10.4.9 to a new iMac running os x 10.5.7 (including upgrading from the old machine)
    the NFS mounts i used to have with my G4 cube are not working properly; new mounts i've created aren't working properly either.
    i can read/open file OK, but when i try to drag & drop files onto the NFS mount using the finder i get errors:
    "You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item named test.jpg" [ stop ] [ continue ]
    clicking "continue" i get:
    "The item test.jpg contains one or more items you do not have permission to read. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read? [ stop ] [ continue ]
    Choosing continue again results in the file appearing in the NFS directory, but with 0 size, and a time stamp of 1970.
    if i try to copy the same file using the Terminal, it works fine - so it is not a simple NFS permissions problem - it is something particular to the Finder.
    i am able to create a folder inside the NFS director by using the Finder.
    i thought at first it might be related to the .DS_Store and similar files being written, so i tried turning off that behaviour:
    defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
    but that hasn't fixed the problem
    there are no obvious messages in any of the logs
    any suggestions or pointers on how to fix this?

    thanks for the reply
    these articles appear to relate to sharing a mac filesystem via NFS: exporting the data.
    i am referring to mounting a NFS filesystem from another server onto the mac (leopard) client
    the mounting works fine: it's just the finder which isn't behaving. the finder worked in tiger; isn't in leopard.

  • Accessing Windows CIFS Shares via Nautilus

    Hi,
    I've recently installed and configured Solaris 11, am having problems accessing Windows CIFS shares via Nautilus.
    I've installed both samba (needed for CUPS to print to printers connect to a windows pc) and smb/client. The smb/client and samba services are running. The smb/server service is not installed.
    I can print to any printer on the windows PC I'm trying to access via Nautilus, so I know my username/password for accessing the pc are correct.
    I can also manually mount any share on the windows PC via the cli (eg mount -F smfs -o user=elin //elink/users /mnt), and browse the files directly that way, except the file permisssions don't seem to align with any unix user. Again this just shows that the username/password combination is ok.
    For Samba, I'm using the default smb.conf file as /etc/samba/samba.conf. Workgroup is set to WORKGROUP in smb.conf.
    On the Windows pc, in the security event viewer, I can see the auth request, however is failing with bad password (event ID 4776, error code 0x006a). In the default group policy object for networking, I've set to accept "LM & NT, NTLMv2 when neogiatated", as this allows legacy clients to connect. (Legacy meaning NT4, Win95, etc, and also has the benefit of allowing other OSes to connect as well).
    I'm also able to access the WIndows PC CIFS shares from an Arch Linux based setup (running GNOME 3.2 w/ Nautilus 3.2), so I doubt it's the Windows side of things causing the problems. Additionally, when I was running Solaris 10u9 (just before upgrading to Sol11), I was able to access the shares via Nautilus as well.
    So my question is:
    1. Does Nautilus use Samba or the Oracle smb/client service to handle mount windows CIFS shares?
    2. What log files or configuration files do I need to looking at to help with this error?
    As a side question,
    I've found that on a clean installation running the "Print Manager" accesses CUPS fine, but once you install a printer, it'll no longer connect to CUPS, unless run from the cli "sudo system-config-printers". So this is a permissions issue, where's the best place to fix/handle that one.

    Replying to my own thread, as I have a possible but very-hackish solution.
    To add some further details to my original post.
    There are 4 PCs on the LAN.
    1. Hellfire - OS = Solaris 11 11/11
    2. Brimstone - OS = Arch Linux
    3. Elink - OS = Win7 Pro x64 SP1
    4. IsaacPC - OS = WinXP Home SP3
    Attempting to connect to Elink from Hellfire, accessing CIFS shares via Nautulis fails. (Mounting shares via Nautulis fails, but works fine from CLI using 'mount' command which to my understanding uses the smb/client service to work). Elink also hosts all the printers on the LAN, a HP LJ1200 and an Epson Fax/Printer/Scanner.
    Helfire does attempt to authenticate, as listed in the event logs on the Win7 PC (elink), but is returning bad password when using Nautulis. (but printing from hellfire to either printer on elink works fine, as does mounting CIFS shares using 'mount').
    Booting the live CD of Solaris 11, also exhibits the same non-working behaviour when attempting to mount CIFS shares in Nautulis.
    Attempting to access CIFS shares on elink from Brimstone (via Nautulis 3.2 within GNOME 3.2), or from IsaacPC works fine.
    Hellfire configuration.
    Samba is installed, but NOT running (samba is needed for accessing the printers on elink, as CUPS needs smbspool which is part of the samba package), and the native smb/client service is also running.
    smb.conf is a direct copy of the default *.conf file, except the WORKGROUP is set to 'WORKGORUP'. There is a symlink to smb.conf in /etc/sfw/smb.conf -> /etc/samba/smb.conf
    Onto the hackish-fix.
    I've noticed that there are 2 copies of libsmbclient.so installed on the system, one in /usr/sfw/lib (part of the "libsmbclient" package) and another in /usr/lib/samba (part of the "samba" package).
    "libsmbclient" appears to be based on samba 3.5.8 codebase, and is linked to the gvfsd-smb daemon (this is the software that Nautulis uses to talk SMB to access CIFS shares).
    "samba" is based on the samba 3.5.10 codebase, and it's installation has nothing to do with GNOME or Nautulis in any manner.
    Using any of the samba included tools to test SMB/CIFS functions, work with 1 minor exception (which I'll list below). eg, using smbclient I can list all shares on any PC on the LAN, etc.
    So as a hunch, I renamed the libsmbclient.so.0 in /usr/sfw/lib, and symlinked /usr/sfw/lib/libsmbclient.so.0 -> /usr/lib/samba/libsmbclient.so.0 (so that gvfsd-smb is linked against the slightly newer version of the libsmbclient.so as included in the samba package located in /usr/lib/samba).
    I rebooted Hellfire, and now I'm able to access CIFS shares via Nautulis, provided that some form of authentication is needed (that is a username and password is needed - guest access and blanks passwords don't work - but these IMO should be disabled immediately as part of a baseline security package in regards to Windows - so no harm there).
    Now to the minor exception I noted earlier. When using smbclient to actually connect and transfer files, I get:
    ld.so.1: smbclient: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/lib/libreadline.so.5: symbol tgetent: referenced symbol not found
    As far as I know, tgetent is part of libtermcap.so, so I guess when building smbclient or libreadline.so, the link reference to termcap was left out? (or something like that). Anyway, that's another issue...

  • Vbox, mount share file can't work normal

    hi,everyone.
    i use virtualbox and has install virtualbox-additions.
    i exec "pacman -Syu" today and then i find that when i mount share file ,it doesn't work normal.
    i exec "mount -t vboxsf share /mnt" ant "cd /mnt"  then "ls " it show that a.c .but when i "vim a.c" ,it said that Segmentation fault.i want to umount /mnt ,it said
    umount: /mnt/: device is busy.
            (In some cases useful info about processes that use
             the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))
    what can i do next, someone can help me ?
