Can't mount NFS from my Arch laptop, am I missing something obvious?

Hello,
I have been trying to solve this issue for over a week and tried everything that I can imagine with no luck...
Set up:
- Qnap SS-839 Pro with several NFS shares on
/share/to_sort
/share/movies
/share/music
etc.
- MythTV frontend/backend running Mythbuntu.
I can mount my NFS shares without problem. I use this fstab.
192.168.1.100:/share/Music /var/lib/mythtv/music nfs nolock,async,proto=tcp,rw,ac 0 0
192.168.1.100:/share/Videos /var/lib/mythtv/videos nfs nolock,async,proto=tcp,rw,ac 0 0
- Arch laptop
I can't get to mount any of the NFS share:
[18:59:14][[email protected]]
/mnt/aether Arch64# /etc/rc.d/rpcbind restart
:: Stopping rpcbind [DONE]
:: Starting rpcbind [DONE]
[18:59:32][[email protected]]
/mnt/aether Arch64# mount 192.168.1.100:/share/to_sort/ to_sort/
mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking.
mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified
[19:00:03][[email protected]]
/mnt/aether Arch64# mount 192.168.1.100:/share/to_sort/ to_sort/ -o no-lock
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified
I tried using the 2 following lines in my fstab on my laptop but nothing works:
1) 192.168.1.100:/share/to_sort /mnt/aether/to_sort nfs nolock,async,proto=tcp,rw,ac 0 0 (same option than under mythbuntu)
2) 192.168.1.100:/share/to_sort /mnt/aether/to_sort nfs defaults 0 0
I'm no guru when it comes to nfs sharing etc, but I really can't see what I am missing here, nor whatelse can I try!
Any idea will be more than welcome!
Thanks in advance

I finally solved this problem after 4 months after someone posted a similar issue with Arch few days ago...
He said to install the iana-etc package... I already had the package but still gave it a go:
[08:15:33][[email protected]]
~ Arch64$ showmount -e 192.168.0.100

As you can see, it is now working and I am now completely puzzled...
How come reinstalling this package solved the issue?
Any idea on what the problem was would be more than welcome

Can't mount NFS exports on Arch laptop

I've browsed the forums, double checked the wiki, but for some reason I'm not able to mount my NFS exports. There must be some small issue not letting me do this, but I can't find it. This is my /etc/exports file on the server (desktop):
/glados 192.168.0.99(rw,fsid=0,no_subtree_check)
/glados/movies 192.168.0.99(rw,no_subtree_check)
And the order of the rc.conf daemons on the server:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus network @netfs crond rpcbind nfs-common nfs-server !hwclock ntpd)
On the client (laptop):
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus network crond @bumblebeed @networkmanager @postgresql rpcbind nfs-common nfs-server sshd)
$ showmount -e 192.168.1.101
Export list for 192.168.1.101:
/glados/movies 192.168.0.99
/glados 192.168.0.99
Now try mount:
$ sudo mount -t nfs4 192.168.1.101:/movies server/
Here it just freezes and nothing happens. I also did the configuration both on server and client side of /etc/idmapd.conf, adding a domain.
Nothing happens on the client side when I try to mount. It just freezes there. Both machines running up to date ArchLinux.
Any help is appreciated!

I just thought that server/ was a typo
He's able to use showmount -e 192.168.1.101 from the machine with the ip 192.168.0.99 so assumed his network's functioning ok ... but you know what they say about 'assume', which machine did you actually run the showmount command on? This might be stating the obvious, but if you ran it on 192.168.0.101 make sure 192.168.0.99 and 192.168.1.101 are communicating with each other
Also I think you're not mounting the path correctly, you have movies exported as:
/glados/movies 192.168.0.99(rw,no_subtree_check)
But you're trying to mount it as:
sudo mount -t nfs4 192.168.1.101:/movies server/
Try mounting it something like this:
sudo mount -t nfs4 192.168.1.101:/glados/movies /server/movies
That command is assuming you're wanting to put your nfs shares inside a folder called /server, also be aware that the directory you're trying to mount your shares inside of has to already exist
Incidentally, why are you mounting /glados and then also mounting directories unger /glados such as /glados/movies, by mounting /glados as an nfs share you already have access to /glados/movies. Once /glados is mounted then you can symlink to or bind mount any directories under it to any location you want

Upsert of xmltype from given xpath - missing something obvious?

Version: 10.2.0.*2* EE
I am trying to do an upsert (update/ insert ) of an xmltype for a given xpath.
The xml data is being passed as an xmltype, the xpath is a string (varchar2), the new value is a string, varchar2.
If the node specified by the xpath exists this is trivial using updatexml; of course if the node doesn't exist nothing happens. I can check for the nodes existence using exists node, but I'm coming unstuck trying to figure out how to insert the node.
All the APIS I can find that insert XML (APPENDCHILDXML,INSERTXMLBEFORE, INSERTCHILDXML) do not take an xpath but require an xmltype. Which means if I am reading this right I have no choice but to parse the xpath varchar2 string to try and construct an xmltype (ugh!).
I can't find any API that just takes an xpath as a varchar2 and a value and gives me an xmltype. Ideally I don't even want that, would just like an API that returns the updated XML which has either had the xpath updated (or inserted if it didn't exist) with the new value.
I am not an XML expert but I am pretty handy with SQL and PL/SQL. To me this just seems incredibly cumbersome just to do something as trivial as an upsert, so I am hoping I am missing something obvious!
Can soemone please set me straight with a pointer or example?
To top it all off the XML uses namespaces, but they aren't registered, there is no schema registration going on.

Marco Gralike wrote:
Couldn't it be done via XQuery, although the database version doesn't really help...That would be possible with a dynamic XQuery expression, but "painful" with a static expression as it would require parsing the XPath, and rebuilding the entire input document with the required modifications.
I think XSLT would be more efficient in this case.
Maybe, one day, when the database has XQuery Update Facility, we will be able to do this :
copy $a := $doc/Address
modify (
if ($a/zip)
    then replace value of node $a/zip with "12345"
    else insert node element zip {"12345"} into $a
return $a

The functionality can be simulated via an IF/THEN/ELSE logic, or a DELETE/INSERT sequence.
For example :

[SOLVED]Can´t mount nfs shares!

Hello,
I am trying to get up a fileserver. I installed an old PC with Arch and configerd it over SSH. I followed the wiki over NFS and NFSv4. But everytime I want to mount a share that is in the physical map /home/jozef/shares/downloads, I get the following error:
mount.nfs4: timeout set for Mon Aug 24 14:36:57 2009
mount.nfs4: text-based options: 'clientaddr=192.168.0.100,addr=192.168.0.111'
mount.nfs4: mount(2): Permission denied mount.nfs4: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.0.111:/shares/downloads
I tried to mount it with the following command:
mount -v -t nfs4 192.168.0.111:/shares/downloads /media/Downloads-Server

Are you sure that the nfs module is loaded? Do
lsmod | grep nfs
to check. If "nfs" doesn't appear then that's your problem. Do:
sudo modprobe nfs
and continue.
EDIT: Also, I'll assume both your server and your client machine are connected to the network. You have the network DAEMON "!"-disabled in each machine's /etc/rc.conf. So I'm assuming you're connecting them to the network in some other way, and have verified that you can, for example, ssh from one machine to the other.
Third, you're sure that /share exists on your server machine, that a (presumably empty) directory /share/downloads exists inside it, that another folder is mounted on top of that empty directory? When you type "mount" on the server machine there should be a line containing "on /share/downloads".
Fourth, if your client's ip address is 192.168.0.100 (this will be displayed when you do "ifconfig") then the /etc/exports on your server has been changed to read:
/shares 192.168.0.100(rw,fsid=0,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash)
/shares/downloads 192.168.0.100(rw,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash,nohide)
Then you either typed "exportfs -rf" on the server, or stopped and restarted nfs-server. (I'd stop nfs-server, nfs-common, and rpcbind, then start them up again in reverse order, to be sure.)
STATD_OPTS has no effect in /etc/conf.d/nfs-server. Also, you don't need to use statd if you're using nfs4. So you could change /etc/conf.d/nfs-common to read:
NEED_STATD=no
NEED_IDMAPD=yes
and /etc/conf.d/server and can be blank.
(Then restart everything, as described above.)
If you're using the latest arch packages then portmap has been replaced by rpcbind (which you do have in your DAEMONS line on the server). So you need to change the "portmap:" line in your server's /etc/hosts.allow to "rpcbind:". I also have a "lockd:" line in my /etc/hosts.allow, in addition to what you have. It's probably not the source of your present troubles, and I'm not sure it's necessary. But you could try adding it.
Finally, did you add/change a "Domain = ..." line in the /etc/idmapd.conf on your server, and a corrsponding line in the /etc/idmapd.conf on your client?

Can't mount NFS share via GUI

Mac OS X 10.8.2
MacBookPro5,3
Hello,
I've recently upgraded to OS X 10.8.2 and am having great difficulty in mounting my NFS shares via the OSX GUI. This worked fine at OS X 10.6.
My aim is to provide an automount type of setup so that less experienced users don't have to worry about the command line.
Can someone please point me in the right direction here?
This is what I've tried to date.
My NFS service is hosted on my Debian server. It supports NFS v4. The service is working and stable and is used routinely with Ubuntu clients. It has also worked with OS X 10.6 clients in the past, but not with OS X 10.7 clients.
To date I have tried the following options:
Mount via finder: Connect to server option using syntax: nfs://<user>@<server>/<share>
setting up autofs using the instructions from pmbuko
using the command line to mount the share.
The first option failed repeatedly. I did find that it would eventually work, though only after I'd manually mounted the share at the command line.
I have not been able to get the second option to work.
I initiate autofs using the command 'automount -vc' and see that the connection is recognised
when I attempt to cd into a directory below the mount point, I eventually get the message 'Connection Refused'.
when I check my Debian logs, I find that the NFS service had actually received an authenticated mount request from the Mac.
when I check my Mac Console logs, I see an error:kernel: nfs_connect: socket error 61 for <server>/<share>
I was able to get the third option working, but only after using the '-o resvport' option.
'Something' does appear to be broken with OS X 10.8.2 as an NFS client.
Any thoughts?

I have found a work around that meets my imediate needs, though it doesn't allow me to use autofs functionality.
The work around uses the traditional Unix/Linux approach of automatically mounting a file system or NFS share via fstab at boot time. OS X 10.8 still supports fstab, even though the file is not included in the default installation.
Once mounted, the NFS share appears as if it is part of the normal file system.
The following is only intended for people confident in Unix or Linux systems administration and in using a shell environment via the command line. Do not attempt this if you do not have these skills.
To set up for fstab, do the following within a terminal session:
create an empty directory in your file system that you can use as your mount point for your NFS share:
sudo mkdir /data/share
sudo chown root:wheel /data/share
using your favourite editor, create the fstab file (in a terminal type 'man fstab' for details)
sudo vi /etc/fstab
add similar to the following to /etc/fstab and then save and exit, substituting your own values where appropriate
# My NFS share
<your-server>:/<your-share> /data/share nfs resvport,rw,hard,intr 0 0
sudo chown root:wheel /etc/fstab
Please note: you may not need the resvport option in the fstab line above. It will depend on your NFS server's requirements.
Once you have done this, reboot your Mac and your NFS share should be mounted at the mount point that you defined.
If not, check your logs to see what went wrong.

Can't transfer files from tower to laptop

I have a G4 sawtooth tower connected to a Netgear wireless router MR814v2.
2 G4's ( both OS 10.3.9) are connected to the router by ethernet cable and a PC laptop has a Netgear wireless card that also connects it.
The 2 G4's share internet, file sharing and printer access - no problem.
The PC laptop shares internet, but I've been unable to figure out how to get it to share printer or files - not too big a deal -
Now I just bought a 1.5GHz Powerbook that has Airport Extreme in it (running Tiger). I have finally gotten it connected to the network. it sees the internet and i can send files from the Laptop to the Tower (via dropbox), but when I try to send files from the Tower to the laptop I get an error saying
Server Connection Timeout, then it tends to freeze.
Then when I try it again the Tower can't make a connection wityh the laptop.
Both computers have file sharing enabled.
i am using the "guest connection rather than using a registered user which requires a password.
Filevault (whatever that is) is off

Nokia Express Music 5320 Transfer ‘Files’ via CA-101 cable data
Transfer files with Nokia Express Music 5320 is very easy. Just connect the CA-101 to your Nokia 5320 then plug into pc
From Nokia Express 5320 menu , select ‘Mass Storage‘.
In few seconds, it will be recognized as a USB storage. You can create any directories that you want.
I suggest to create based on category so it will easier for you to browse your files in the future.
Go to directory in your PC and select files that you want to copy.
Go back to your Nokia and move to the directory that you want to store your files and paste into it.
The copying process is done.
If you are done, make sure to do safe remove by select ‘Unmount Volume’ menu at ‘Nokia 5320 icon‘ before you plug-out the CA-101 cable data.
This question below will occur if you deleted some files in your Nokia 5320 Express Music. I suggest to choose ‘Empty Trash’ because it will remove the deleted files from your Nokia trash bin permanently.
Now, you can unplug the cable.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

A synopsis of it is as follows:
"For best results, try not to use computer ports to charge your iPod. USB is especially sensitive to how many devices are on it and what the resulting bus voltage is. It may even display the charging icon but not be adding much to the battery. USB versions prior to 2.0 will not charge your iPod (and probably be too slow for its other functions). Even USB 2.0 is limited to 700 milliamps and an iPod "likes" to see one full amp for charging, plus some to spin the HD while mounted. Some (early) iPod models will not charge from USB, period. Some PCs use 4-pin Firewire cables (all Macs are 6-pin) which carry no charging voltage, so they won't work at all for recharging and can allow your iPod to run down and cause serious problems while updating firmware, restoring, or loading songs. Both USB and Firewire require the iPod to be mounted by your computer as an external drive, which means the iPod's HD is spinning, using some of the juice that the battery might like to have. And if the computer sleeps or is turned off, the battery won't charge and in some cases will actually drain through the port circuits. Bottom line: if your ports are not doing a good job of charging your battery, use the wall adapter to charge for several cycles before questioning the battery's credentials. If you have a new iPod which only comes with USB, don't panic; it can work fine. But if you do experience problems, either take everything else off the USB bus (except mouse & keyboard) and/or get an AC adapter."

How can I deinstall CS6 from a dead laptop

My laptop recently died due to a cafe accident - I've installed CS6 on my new laptop but now need to install the second copy (allowed two) on to my office computer - is there some way of deinstalling from the dead laptop? I guess this is fairly common but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere.
Or is there some way of de-regstering the copy of CS6 on the dead laptop. I can't find any other way to contact adobe support about this so if anyone has any hints that would be much appreciated.

You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues. They have the ability to deactivate the lost installation.
Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:
