[Solved]NFS Client Not Mounting Shares

Here is my setup:
I have two Arch boxes that I am attempting to setup NFS shares on.  The box that is going to be the server is headless FYI.  So far, I have installed nfs-utils, started `rpc-idmapd` and `rpc-mountd` successfully on the server, and started `rpc-gssd` successfully on the client.
The folder I am trying to share is the /exports folder.
ls -l /exports
produces
total 8
drwxrwxrw-+ 110 daniel 1004 4096 Dec 6 17:26 Movies
drwxrwxrwx+ 13 daniel users 4096 Jan 8 19:12 TV-Shows
On the server:
/etc/exports
# /etc/exports
# List of directories exported to NFS clients. See exports(5).
# Use exportfs -arv to reread.
# Example for NFSv2 and NFSv3:
# /srv/home hostname1(rw,sync) hostname2(ro,sync)
# Example for NFSv4:
# /srv/nfs4 hostname1(rw,sync,fsid=0)
# /srv/nfs4/home hostname1(rw,sync,nohide)
# Using Kerberos and integrity checking:
# /srv/nfs4 gss/krb5i(rw,sync,fsid=0,crossmnt)
# /srv/nfs4/home gss/krb5i(rw,sync,nohide)
/exports 192.168.1.10(rw,fsid=0)
On the client:
showmount -e 192.168.1.91
Export list for 192.168.1.91:
/exports 192.168.1.10
Everything is looking hunky-dory.  However, I go to mount using
sudo mount -t nfs4 192.168.1.91:/exports /mnt/Media
and the mount never takes place.  It sits there and does nothing.  I CAN, however, kill the process with Ctrl-c.
So does anybody have ANY idea why my shares aren't working.
EDIT: Just thought I should mention that all of the data in the /exports folder is a mount --bind from /mnt/media.  All of the /mnt/media is contained on a USB external hard drive.  I did notice that there is an ACL.
getfacl /exports

I found what the problem was.  Apparently rpc_gssd was causing a problem.  Stopping it fixed everything.

  • [solved] NFS client will not work correctly

    I have all my $HOME on an NFS Server. So long I used suse and debian, now I want switch to arch but the nfs-client ist not working correctly:
    I start "portmap nfslock nfsd netfs" over rc.conf. When I do a "rpcinfo -p <ip-arch-system>" I got the following
    stefan:/home/stefan # rpcinfo -p 192.168.123.3

        100005    3   tcp    894  mountd
    As you see "status" is missing, so the statd is not running. It sould look like the result on my suse box:
    stefan:/home/stefan # rpcinfo -p 192.168.123.2
       Program Vers Proto   Port
        100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper

        100021    4   udp  32768  nlockmgr
        100024    1   tcp  35804  status
        100021    1   tcp  35804  nlockmgr
        100021    3   tcp  35804  nlockmgr
        100021    4   tcp  35804  nlockmgr
    There is the "status" line and so the statd is running.
    How can I fix that problem, so that statd ist running on my arch box too?

    The Problem ist solved.
    I use ldap for authentication. During the setup of the ldapclient I copied the nsswitch.ldap to nsswitch.conf. But the line for "hosts:" was:
    hosts:          dns ldap
    but in my dns ist no localhost entry. After I changed this line to:
    hosts:          files dns ldap
    everything was ok. The statd is now running and I can start to migrate to archlinux ;-)

  • Nfs client ls /data/rw10 nfs client on mount: Permission denied

    We are running an 800 cpu amd solaris 10 x64 cluster for HPC and an 512 cpu ultrasparc cluster solaris 10 for high
    throughput.
    Until now the nfs servers played ball and I did not experience real difficulties.
    I am running two Solaris 10 x64 servers serving a total of 80 TB over nfs4, one Thumper serving 17 TByte over nfs4
    and 7 linux serving 30 TByte over nfs3.
    Today for the first time I got a massive rejection of mounts with the following error on the client.
    May 9 18:24:10 m2001 nfs: [ID 664466 kern.notice] NFS compound failed for server c-store2: error 12 (RPC: Remote system error)
    May 9 18:24:10 m2001 last message repeated 1 time
    May 9 18:24:10 m2001 automountd[428]: [ID 834250 daemon.error] Mount of c-store2:/data2 on /data/rw10: I/O error
    The load is not heavy by my standards as there are only 50 concurrent clients trying to mount that file space and the
    same clients are mounting the thumper and do not get this problem.
    I have had considerably heavier loads on the linux based nfs3 servers when 300 concurrent jobs were accessing one
    file space at a time and I did not get this problem.
    Have any of you seen this and found a remedy. any hints would be welcome

    The problem solved itself mysteriously overnight, without any interference from myself.
    The systems are again perfectly happily mounting the file space (650 clients of them all at the same time
    mounting up to 6 filesystems from the same server) and the server is happily serving again as it has been for the past 2 years.
    My idea is that there has been a network configuration clash, but considering that the last modification of NIS hosts file was about 4 weeks ago and the latest server was installed then and has been serving since then, I have no
    idea how such clash could happen without interference in the config files. It is a mystery and I will have to make
    every effort to unravel it. One does not really like to sweep incidents like that un-investigated under the carpet.
    If anybody has any suggestions and thoughts on this matter please post them here.

  • Lion will not mount shares from Debian Linux 5.0 server

    HI after Lion update I cant mount shares from our server, it replys back with this:
    "The version of the server you tryed to connect to are not supported"
    I can not find info about server versions supported anywhere
    Anyone know what can be done to fix this problem with shares?.

    I figured out the problem.
    This is going to sound a little crazy, but I've spent a lot of time on this one.
    There's some kind of incompatibility with Lion and Seagate ST31000340AS drives. I was trying to install Lion on these drives and it would consistently fail. I've also tried to use these drives in a RAID volume. No go. I tried three different drives of this model. All of them failed.
    I tried to install Lion on a Seagate ST31000528AS and it worked first time and sings beautifully.

  • Oddball client not mounting XSan Volumes

    Background: My client, a TV News broadcast station, had Apple and a third-party design and install a Apple based XSan storage and network. They ran all new fiber and gigabit ethernet to each station to use the XSan. It has been working great, with the exception noted below.
    Setup: 2 MD Controllers, 1 XServe, 4 XRaids, each make up two 2 large TB volumes (raid 5, stripped together).
    XServe, XRAID, MD controllers, and all clients are all connected together on a Fibre and Fiber Optic network using QLogic switches. SUBNET: 10.200.1.x.
    Ethernet Network, also connected all the above together on HP Gigabit Switches. SUBNET: 10.100.1.x The public WAN is made available on this subnet by a connection to the HP switches. Still getting details on how this was done.
    Everything is running OS X 10.4.8 or better, XSan File System 1.4.
    Setup
    There are 8 workstations (edit bays) that act as infusion and editing stations. Each station has two XSans volumes mounted NEWS01 and NEWS02. They have the odd numbered bays use NEWS01 and the even numbered bays use NEW02.
    PROBLEM
    All bays mount the XSan volumes, except one. FCP08 will not mount the XSan volumes. We have rebooted the workstation, and even went to the extreme of shutting down the entire setup all bays and MD controllers, File Servers, etc.. then bringing everything backup up. Same problem.
    Based on some forum discussion, we have tried the following:
    * Ensured that there is no empty mount point in /Volumes
    * Uninstalled all XSan Software and resinstalled v1.4 from Apple's website.
    * Removed the client from the XSan Admin, and readded it, made sure to enter valid serial number, etc..
    * Verified that all fibers are working, all link lights look good, and you can ping across the MD network.
    When you use the XSan admin from either FCP08 (edit bay 08) or from the server, and you add both MD XSans to it, you see the client, and you click on the client and click either Mount (read-only) or Mount (Read/write).
    It will show "Mounting..." and then it will flip back to "not mounted". The only feedback we have received so far is "ACCESS DENIED". All affinity setting are set to rwxrwxrwx (wide open), and all the volumes and workstation logins all have the same access to the volumes. I can not find any restrictive permissions anywhere.
    I plan on trying to move them away from a /etc/hosts type setup to a proper DNS Server running on their XServe using the DNS Server function of OS X Server. But currently all edit bay stations have the same /etc/hosts file installed, which accounts for MD and ethernet networks.
    ANY IDEAS what is wrong with this workstation? With the setup?
    I have had extreme ideas from some who have said that we need to blitz the entire client, and reinstall the operating system. I am not willing to go down that route, since each edit bay was built manually without an image (another aspect I will remedying soon). It will take sometime to rebuild this edit bay client if I that is the only solution.
    The only this question I have if that is the popular opinion, is what is different from a client OS install and the existing one regarding the XSan? This are edit bays, not private workstations, and no one installs any extra software or surfs the net, etc.. They are used for ingest and editing only.
    HELP!
      Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Hi,
    You could check if it is Fibre Channel related:
    from a terminal do a cvlabel -l
    this should give you a list of the lun's in your volume.
    When this tool does not show luns, you might have a zoning issue.

  • [SOLVED] pam_mount will not mount truecrypt volume on login.

    Hello.
    I did system upgrade yesterday and encountered some problems with mounting my Truecrypt volume with pam_mount. I use pam_mount to mount my encrypted /home partionion at login. After first reboot and loging in I was dropped to / directory, with my /home partition clearly not mounted. I acknowledged the message from udev in pacman, that in some circumstances adding 'loop' to MODULES array in /etc/mkintcpio.conf is required and for a moment I thought it was it, but I tried this and it didn't help. Suprisingly, after another reboot I was placed im my home directory afer login, but it appears to be empty - I can see only dotfiles of few programs I used after the upgrade:
    $ls -A ~/
    .bash_history .links .qingy .viminfo .wicd
    but my /home partition is obviously still not mounted. My relevant config files:

    [EDIT] OK, I've looked into it a little more and I realised that I should try loging in without qingy. I tried on agetty console and it worked as before. It looks like qingy upgrade changed my /etc/pam.d/qingy file into default one. The one above is and obviously unsuitable for use with pam_mount and I failed to see that at first. It should look similar to the example file for slim in the wiki article on pam_mount:

    I don't think you are supplying all the information that you are given by your machine.  The error you mention is often preceeded by a number of other messages which give some idea of what is actually occurring.  Please post error messages exactly as they are given to you, and check the journal and/or dmesg for more information.
    Also as a side note, you need to use code tags for things like commands and output.  Hit the quote button on this post to see how I created the boxes below (the arrows will make sense when this post is quoted):

  • H: drive on Windows client not mounted

    In WGM I defined network accounts for about 10 windows clients.
    Our Xserve is used as a PDC and I can connect the clients to the domain and login using the accounts.
    However, I tested the login procedure before creating a Home folder for each accounts and now the H: drive doesn't get mounted.
    Next I removed the Windows-profiles hoping to start with a clean profile but they don't get recreated.
    Can I force OS X server to recreate the profile info?

    I've got a better understanding now of how to make folders and profiles by hand and setting the right privileges.

  • [SOLVED] External HDD not mounting at boot

    So, I've got this USB external HDD which won't mount at boot time. I set it in /etc/fstab using its UUID and it works immediately after boot if I do
    sudo mount -a
    I had it before on a different machine, running Arch too, and never had this problem. How can I see what's going on at boot time? I usualy just start the computer remotely (wake on lan).
    Last edited by RaisedFist (2010-10-21 11:22:46)

    Couldn't it be caused by the external HDD not being ready yet when the system boot? Nowadays I rarely encounter these issues, but some years ago even certain internally connected drive would need a delay to get ready for boot. If so settings in BIOS has to be adjusted.
    Just a quick guess.

    Someone wrote in this forum, that his irssi behaves in the same way like the silc-client in my case, but irssi is working absolutely correct here.
    It would be nice if somebody could help, it's important
    Thank you very much.

    Haha, so funny...

    i don't know why the 1.02 and 1.01 don't work, but the 1.0 works great...thank you anyways

  • Systemd nfs client mount share ???

    Just installed systemd, systemd-arch-units and initscripts-systemd  as per the wiki and all went well except mounting a nfs share from my server. (networking is OK!)
    This is the old working mount command run from rc.local before installing systemd;
    mount -t nfs4 -o rw,hard,async,intr,rsize=49152,wsize=49152,proto=tcp 192.168.0.250:/ /media/SERVER_NYTT &
    Did not mount at all with systemd, not even when run manually from command line. From systemd log netfs and nfs-common failed to start.
    So I tried from fstab instead;
    192.168.0.250:/ /media/SERVER_NYTT nfs rw,hard,async,intr,rsize=49152,wsize=49152,proto=tcp 0 0
    This did work but 'mount' showed that systemd had mounted with nfs default options instead of mine (wsize, rsize ...). Still errors from systemd starting netfs and nfs.
    So I disabled netfs and nfs-common/rpcbind from rc.conf and created this systemd file (/etc/systemd/system/192.168.0.250.mount);
    [Unit]
    Description=ServerNfs
    Wants=network.target rpc-statd.service
    After=network.target rpc-statd.service
    [Mount]
    What=192.168.0.250:/
    Where=/media/SERVET_NYTT
    Type=nfs
    Options=rw,hard,async,intr,rsize=49152,wsize=49152,proto=tcp
    DirectoryMode=0777
    StandardOutput=syslog
    StandardError=syslog
    From the sparce wiki and 'man systemd.mount'. Now nothing happens. With my limited understanding I thought it would start neccessary services (wants) and replace the entry in fstab.
    I will now enable systemd services rpcbind, rpcstatd and see what happens.
    Overall the transition to systemd went very well indeed; slim, openbox, network, .xinitrc, e4rat all started OK much to my surprise! There's still some fine-tuning to do like nfs, and possibly automounting and at last weeding out unneccessary services.
    But any help with this nfs client problem is much appreciated.

    Do you use any of this;
    Alternatively, you can mark these entries in /etc/fstab with the x-systemd.automount and x-systemd-device-timeout= options (see systemd.mount ..
    I did read the man for systemd.mount but couldn't make out what to put in the fstab line.
    By the way, I renamed the mountfile to the target mountpoint but no success. I then reactivated the fstab line, with the new mountpoint in /mnt and that worked fine with mount -a. Except the mount options are not as I want, as they are in fstab. They were before systemd, and now they are as default for nfs4.
    have a look here regarding the x-systemd-automount option. I seem to be only one who has noticed a problem with this option, comment=systemd.automount works fine for automounting though. I haven't changed the wiki because I'm still not sure if the problem is on my side.

  • Error mounting NFS share - mount.nfs: Operation not permitted

    I've got an NFS share on a FreeBSD server which I mount via fstab.
    It mounts automatically at boot and everything is fine.
    However, if I unmount it and try to mount it again I get:
    mount.nfs: Operation not permitted
    I have tried vers=3 and nfsvers=3 in fstab, but to no avail.
    rpcbind is allowed in /etc/hosts.allow.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    fstab entry:
    server:/path/to/files /mnt/files nfs ro,hard,intr,nfsvers=3 0 0

    Tagging along, I have the same problem, although I have a different setup:
    - Server = Arch linux
    - Client1 = Debian Testing linux
    - Client2 = Arch linux
    On client1, I'm unable to mount all NFS-shares. 2 out of 3 mount ok and the third fails with this error (both through fstab and manually):
    # mount -a
    mount.nfs4: access denied by server while mounting (null)
    On Client2 I'm able to connect automatically and manually to all shares.
    Maybe it is Debian-related, but the debian user forums have not been of much help...
    THX for any input!
