Cannot search NFS shares using finder

Having connected ubuntu 11.04 NFS4 share, searching in finder apparently doesn't do anything.
Search works fine when the same folder is mounted using SMB or AFP.
Tested using two different OSX machines both running 10.6.8.
Does it work for anyone here?

correction. it's just regulrarly mounted using nfs3.
apparently no one is using nfs here at all

Cannot mount NFS shares using the Finder

Hello all!
I have a directory structure on a OpenSuse NFS Server which I like to browse/read using my MAC OSX 10.5.6. It works like a joy when I am mounting the NFS share on the command line using "sudo":
sudo mount -o resvport nfshost:/full/path/NFS/share /My/mount/point
However, this is kind of unconvenient as I need to start Terminal and sudo always asks me for the root password. I would appreciate to mount the NFS share just as I mount afp shares using the Finder. But the NFS share is neither searchable using the Finder nor does it show up in the list of host in the side bar of the Finder.
Does anyone has an idea how to solve that? Thx for your information!

The problem is most likely that your NFS server requires that connections come from reserved ports but you can't connect that way from the Finder GUI.
Your example:
sudo mount -o resvport nfshost:/full/path/NFS/share /My/mount/point
shows that you need to use "-o resvport" and that you need to do the mount as root. (This is because the networking stack requires you to be root to get a reserved port.) When you try to mount it via the Finder, you can't specify any mount options like "-o resvport" and even if you could the mount would fail because the Finder isn't running as root.
My first suggestion would be to change the configuration of your server to not require clients to use reserved ports for the NFS protocol. Unfortunately, Linux chooses to call that option "insecure" even though requiring the use of reserved ports (using "secure") doesn't actually make NFS more secure.
Alternatively, you could configure the mount to be performed by something that does do the mount as root - e.g. automount/autofs. You can do this by configuring the mount on Directory Utility's "Mounts" section... you'll want to add "resvport" to the "Advanced mount options" field.

My iPad was stolen yesterday. I cannot track it while using find my iPhone is saying is off.

My iPad was stolen at the house yesterday. I have reported the matter to law enforcement. I have tried to track it using find my iPhone from my iPhone and it shows that the iPad is off. My work and important documents are there. Anyone who can assist on how I can trace it?

You cannot trace it if it is offline.
Hopefully you have a passcode on your iPad and you have backups of these documents.

How to create an nfs share using the method "CreateShare" of class "MSFT_NfsServerTasks"

I need to use the "CreateShare" of the wmi class "MSFT_NfsServerTasks" to create a nfs share.
I am new to wmi. could somebody please guide me to achieve this. thanks in advance.

let to me rephrase my question. I need to call the MSFT_NfsServerTasks::createmethod to create the nfs share.
And the syntax for this method is
uint32 CreateShare(
[in] string Name,
[in] string Path,
[in] string NetworkName,
[in] string Authentication[],
[in] boolean UnmappedUserAccess,
[in] boolean AnonymousAccess,
[in] sint32 AnonymousUid,
[in] sint32 AnonymousGid,
[in] string LanguageEncoding,
[in] boolean AllowRootAccess,
[in] string Permission,
[in] MSFT_NfsSharePermission ClientPermission[],
[out] MSFT_NfsShare Share
And to run this method I will be using "IWbemServices::ExecMethod". This method takes the Input parameter object(IWbemClassObject). I managed to add string the parameters in the input parameterobject as,
IWbemClassObject* pInInst = NULL;:/*some code*/
VARIANT var;
var.vt = VT_BSTR;
var.bstrVal= SysAllocString(L"C:\\share1");
BSTR ArgPath = SysAllocString(L"Path");
hRes = pInInst->Put(ArgName, 0, &var, 0);
But how could I use it for other parameters e.g. string[], MSFT_NfsSharePermission ClientPermission[]etc.

Cannot burn CD/DVD using Finder but ok using Disk Utility

I have "Memorex" DVD-R and CD-R which Finder doesn't recognize. An error message "This disc cannot be used because it is not recognized". This only happens when I use Finder to burn a CD or DVD but if I use iTune or Disk Utility (creating disk image file then burn it) it works fine. What am I doing wrong?

hi
are you using a western digital my book external drive?
the button manager software supplied with the drive causes problems with disk burning, and i had this exact same problem
you need to uninstall or upgrade to the latest version of the WD software.
hope this helps

Cannot export nfs-share over ipv6 in OS X 10.8

I've successfully exported my nfs share over ipv4 and can access this with a nfs-client from a linux machine. However, I'm not able to export the same share over ipv6.
In my /etc/exports I have:
/Volumes/Harddisk
-network 10.0.0.0
-mask 255.255.255.0
/Volumes/Harddisk
-network fd60:760d:98ec:8588::/64
However, from the linux client I can only mount the ipv4 share, but not the ipv6 share.
Is it possible to export nfs-shares over ipv6 in OS X 10.8?

I would suggest testing a connection from a second Mac also running 10.8 via IPv6. At least then you know both will be using compatible versions. If that does not work then it would seem to be an IPv6 issue on the Mac server.

Cannot mount nfs shares

Hello,
since Sunday I'm unable to mount NFS shares:
mount.nfs: No such device
The server-side is working fine, I can mount all shares from my FreeBSD Desktop machine.
I'm using netcfg and start rpcbind and nfs-common upong connection before mounting NFS shares (via netfs). Is this maybe related to some recent pacman updates? It was working flawless just until Sunday.

As it turns out, It now works. I did load the nfs module manually during my troubleshooting but it was already loaded or built into the kernel or whatever.
The thing that made it work is changing the nfs mount lines in /etc/fstab from the hostname of the server to the ip address of the server. I don't know why that worked on both machines since I could ping the hostname of the nfs server which is a Freenas server and it always worked before.
@ jasonwryan
rc.d start rpcbind && rc.d start nfs-common
start fine after stopped and restarted. Have you replaced portmap with rpcbind in pacman? rpcbind superceded portmap a while back. gl.
@.:B:.
lol, snide remark succesfully detected. In my defense I was half guessing and half sniding (or some percentage thereof). I have to admit I do get a bit snippy over this since nfs is necessary for my little clients to run mpd and I gets a bit cranky when I gots no musics! Fueling my frustration, it seems I have to chase down nfs problems frequently after "pacman -Syu".

Searching Hierarchical tree using Find tree node

In hierarchical tree using find_tree_node when i search the value it is taking the search value as a string and returns the node that of previous node value. for example
Suppose when i am searching for node value 18 ,but it takes the some other node value of (1883).
The tree structure is
1
2
1883
3
18
The code used is
p_node := ftree.get_tree_node_property ('tree_block.tree',:system.trigger_node,ftree.node_value);
current_node := Ftree.Find_Tree_Node(htree,
     p_node,
     Ftree.FIND_NEXT,
     Ftree.NODE_VALUE,
     Ftree.ROOT_NODE,
          Ftree.ROOT_NODE);

Hi!
You can use your restricting subquery in a start with clause. Something like
start with node_parent is null and some_field in (select ...)
Or you can eliminate the join and use where clause.
Hope this helps.

Can't compress files on webdav share using Finder

Hi to all!
I have webdav share (server is on FreeBSD) connected to my MBP. I can read, write, delete files on this share but when I try to compress file on this share (rightclick on file and select "Compress" in menu) I allways get an error popup: "The operation can't be completed because the disk if full." with "zip" icon on it. I know that disk isn't full.
How to fix this?

as a workaround I use Automator script "Junecloud Automator Actions" to make clean archive

HD won't appear on Desktop and cannot use Find for HD searches

The HD icon disappeared from my Desktop last week and I cannot get it back using Finder Preferences. Also when I search with Find it cannot see anything on the HD although all applications etc are there and can be used. External HD icon and CDs etc. show up on desktop. Tried Disk Utility first Aid but still nothing. Other "dummy accounts" have same problem. Any ideas??? I'm stumped.

Issue with special character in NFS shares

Hello,
I run a Ubuntu 10.04 server for serving my files via NFS. I have no problems mounting the NFS shares in my iMac (OS X 10.6.3). I can access all files, even the ones containing special characters in their names. I can copy, create, move them with no problem, both on Finder and on the Terminal.
The problem comes when I try to synchronize or backup files using backup tools. Files with accents in their names (á, é, ã, ç, etc) are simply ignored by the backup/sync tools I am using. I could reproduce the problem in different softwares like "ChronoSync" and "File Synchronization". Accents are a must have in my network.
I saw in other posts in this forum that there might be some incompatibilities with Unicode and special chars while using Mac OS X as a NFS client for a Linux NFS server. What strikes me is that Finder and Terminal work just OK.
Any clue?
Some details of my NFS configuration:
/etc/exports on my server:
/mnt/disco01 10.209.1.0/24(rw,sync,nosubtree_check,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000,allsquash)
/mnt/disco02 10.209.1.0/24(rw,sync,nosubtree_check,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000,allsquash)
/mnt/disco03 10.209.1.0/24(rw,sync,nosubtree_check,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000,allsquash)
/mnt/disco04 10.209.1.0/24(rw,sync,nosubtree_check,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000,allsquash)
On my iMac I moount them like this using Disk Utility's NFS tool:
URL: nfs://servidor/mnt/disco01
Mount point: /Network/disco01
Options: -P nosuid
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Well, I dug a little further and got a solution, although It make no sense to me.
So, the scenario is:
server URL: nfs://server/mnt/disco01
mount point: /Network/disco01
I was trying to synchronize a folder from the server called /Network/disco01/Música (meaning music in Portugueses) to a local folder /Users/shared/Música. I would use ChronoSync to keep the folders in sync, mirroring the NFS share to the local folder. ChronoSync was ignoring the folder.
After not being able to copy using the ChronoSync tool, I tried to copy the folder via the Finder. I could browse the nfs share using the finder, but not copy the files the local folder.
While trying to copy, I use Cmd-C then Cmd-V in the /User/shared/ folder. I noticed that first the Finder named the folder "Music" and then some instants after if would refuse to copy. Very strange.
I first renamed the "Música" folder on the NFS share to "Músicas", then everything worked allright, even Chronosync. Turns out that Música is the name of one of the system folder OS X creates on the user's home folder. It is actually a translation to the underlying name Music.
Why it was interfering with the copy of totally unrelated NFS and local folders I can really not understand.
More interesting, afterwards I renamed the NFS folder again to Música (without s) and it kept working.
I am happy now, but I have no clue as to why there was the problem, and why it got solved.
Hope this helps somebody in a similar situation.

NFS server is so weak (especially for 2008 R2) and keeping in mind you run that all hosted by VMware ESXi the best thing you can do is to get rid of using Windows as a NFS server completely and spawn a FreeBSD or Linux VM with a decent and recent version
of Samba.

Thunar freezing when mounting NFS shares

I have used Thunar and NFS for some time without any problems, but in the past week Thunar has been locking up solid when I use it to access a NFS share for more than a minutes or so. It totally locks up the Thunar GUI and I have to force it to quit. When this happens I noticed that the rpc.mountd process becomes zombified or defunct, and AutoFS no longer works too. Restarting these processes with systemctl does not work, since the restart command just hangs.
I run "journalctl -xn" when this happens, but noting really stands out.
I don't have any issues when I access the same NFS share using a terminal.
Currently I have a less than satisfactory workaround - which is to use PCmanFM instead of Thunar. PCmanFM seems to have the good graces to just automatically crash after mounting a NFS share for more than a minute and thus not case all the problems with rpc.mountd & AutoFS.

I finally solved my problem by changing the mount options to this in fstab:
pc-francois.local:/francois /mnt/pc-francois nfs4 rw,proto=tcp,vers=4.0,noauto,users,intr 0 0
One week to find it... Maybe it wants to use nfs 4.1 by default.

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): 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?
Johan

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.

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