OpenSUSE Install :: Mounting Network-shared Drives Fails When Upgrading To 11.4

Mar 14, 2011

I have a D-Link DNS-323 network drive which mounts at multiple points to my filesystem when booting. I had to make some fstab changes when I upgraded from 11.2->11.3 last year, and now the same thing seems to be happening since I've upgraded to 11.4. When I login to my profile the desktop hangs and no icons appear. I cannot open a Nautilus window, or access ALT-F2, however just about every other program works fine. Since I disabled the fstab lines (slightly modified when copied here to generalize):

Code:

#//192.168.123.xxx/SHARED-FOLDER1/User-folder /home/user/Documents cifs guest,_netdev,uid=user,gid=users
#//192.168.123.xxx/SHARED-FOLDER2 /home/user/SHARED-FOLDER2 cifs credentials=/home/user/.scripts/.creds,_netdev,uid=user,gid=users 0 0

the desktop icons load and Nautilus works. Can I adjust my fstab syntax to correct this and get my network drives back? I think last year the issue was in referencing the ".creds" file...

OpenSUSE Network :: Cannot Mount NFSv4 Exported Dirctories?

Oct 20, 2010

I am using OpenSuSE 11.3 (64 bit) and am trying to force my new server use NFSv4. Later, GSSAPI, sould be added, but for beginning, I want to configure without it for now. If I try using NFSv3, this works good, but I need NFSv4. I have exported my directory:

Code:
omega:/ # cat /etc/exports
/distrib *(ro,no_root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)
After mount attempt I have a error:
Code:
omega:/ # exportfs -var

OpenSUSE Network :: NFSv4 Oddity On 4 Servers - Directory Export?

Jan 27, 2011

I'm running OpenSuSE 11.3 (64 bit) with the latest kernel update as of yesterday. I've recently moved from NFSv3 to NFSv4 on 4 servers. Between the 4 servers there are 9 exported directories. All of them work except 1 on 1 of the 4 servers.

/etc/exports
# NFSv4 fsid=0 for the top level directory
/export *(rw,fsid=0,async,no_subtree_check,insecure)
# End

# NFSv3
/export/apps/oracle *(rw,async,fsid=7,no_subtree_check,insecure)
/export/ftpserver *(rw,async,fsid=6,no_subtree_check,insecure)
# End

I had to keep the NFSv3 entry as I need that as the mount doesn't work with v4.
/export directory listing
/export:
total 5
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 104 2002-08-08 16:47 .
drwxr-xr-x 33 root root 944 2011-01-25 17:28 ..
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 232 2010-01-26 10:01 apps
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 2010-12-13 12:31 ftpserver

/export/apps:
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 232 2010-01-26 10:01 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 104 2002-08-08 16:47 ..
drwx------ 3 root root 72 2008-08-06 16:40 etc
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 240 2011-01-24 03:00 htdig
drwx------ 3 root root 72 2008-08-06 16:40 lib
drwx------ 2 root root 48 2002-07-02 13:18 lost+found
drwxr-xr-x 4 oracle oinstall 104 2009-01-07 09:59 oracle
drwx------ 5 root root 120 2008-08-06 16:40 usr

Now on any of the 4 servers if I do:
# mount -t nfs4 machinename:/apps/oracle /mnt
mount.nfs4: mounting lister:/apps/oracle failed, reason given by server:
No such file or directory

But the other sub-dir of /export is fine:
# mount -t nfs4 machinename:/apps/ftpserver /mnt

If I mount the pseudo root:
# mount -t nfs4 machinename:/ /mnt
# ls -l /mnt
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 2002-08-08 15:20 apps
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 2010-12-13 12:31 ftpserver

But the apps sub-dir is empty
# ls -l /mnt/apps
total 0

On the server:
# ls -l /export/apps
total 0
drwx------ 3 root root 72 2008-08-06 16:40 etc
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 240 2011-01-24 03:00 htdig
drwx------ 3 root root 72 2008-08-06 16:40 lib
drwx------ 2 root root 48 2002-07-02 13:18 lost+found
drwxr-xr-x 4 oracle oinstall 104 2009-01-07 09:59 oracle
drwx------ 5 root root 120 2008-08-06 16:40 usr

Well that explains why the NFSv4 mount of /apps/oracle fails because for some reason it can't "see" any files below that, but as I say the ftpserver sub-dir & mount are fine.

Ubuntu Networking :: Nfsv4 - Mount.nfs4: Access Denied By Server While Mounting

Dec 2, 2010

i'm trying to setup a nfs4 server and client. i followed the instructions in [URL](nfsv4 quick start section) and [URL] The SERVER is on 192.168.89.1 running Xubuntu 10.04, and the CLIENT is on 192.168.89.128 running Ubuntu 10.10. Firewall is disabled on both the server and the client for testing purposes. /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server on the SERVER:

Code:

# Number of servers to start up
RPCNFSDCOUNT=8
# Runtime priority of server (see nice(1))

[code]....

On the [URL], i see some steps related to portmap on the "NFS Server" and "NFS Client" sections. Would i need those steps as well? There's also a list of steps on [URL] (linked from [URL]. Are those necessary?

EDIT: Running showmount on the client seemed to show that NOTHING is shared on the server:

Code:

$ showmount -a 192.168.89.1

All mount points on 192.168.89.1:

General :: Rsync - Mounting Network Drives And The DLink DNS-321?

Jan 27, 2010

I recently built a small Intel Atom 330 based server for my home. I'm using the Vortexbox Fedora-based OS to run the server (primarily used as a media server). So far everything is working great. In addition to my media server, I've got a DLink DNS-321 NAS. I would like to setup a scheduled, incremental backup of my main server to the DLink NAS. I understand rsync is an excellent option, and am willing to undertake the task of setting it up on my server, but I am uncertain how to make it all happen with the DLink NAS. The NAS is very barebones, and I don't know if I can even install rsync on it. I don't even know if I can get to any kind of command line on the NAS box. 1. Can I mount the NAS drive on my main Linux server and then just run rsync on the server?

OpenSUSE :: Mounting Hard Drives As User?

Aug 4, 2010

OpenSuse 11.2 64bit When I select a hard drive in Dolphin file manager it asks for the root password. I would like to gain easier access to the drives. The Yast Partition Manager lists all of the drives and has a dialog box to change this i.e. user can mount the drive. Can we change this feature on the run, while the system is running ? The Fstab file is not listing all of the drives, so I cannot just edit the config here.

Fedora :: Prevent Mounting Of External Drives & CD / DVD Drives

I suspect this is not new but I just can't find where it was treated. Maybe someone can give me a good lead.I just want to prevent certain users from accessing CD/DVD drives and all external drives. They should be able to mount their home directories and move around within the OS but they shouldn't be able to move data away from the PC. Any Clues?

OpenSUSE Network :: Trouble With Permissions On Mounted Network Drives

Jan 15, 2010

I use Suse 11.2. I mounted 5 folders from fstab. 2 of them work but 3 do not. The 3 folders that do not work let me enter them, and they let me see everything. I can even create or delete a folder on them, if I am just browsing with konqueror. The problem is that I have a program that will not read them. It's a program made for my company and apparently it will only read folders that have all of their permissions set to read and write. The program will read the first two because their permissions are set to Owner, Group, and Others, can view and modify content. (The network folders are all windows server 2003 computers). The 3 folders the program will not read are set to Owner can view and modify content, but Group and Others are "can view content" If I try to change those permissions even in root, it tells me that access is denied.

OpenSUSE Network :: Restore NFS Drives And Applications After Network Going Down?

Sep 7, 2010

I'm having a bit of a problem with drives connected by NFS and KDE4.4.4. The setup is that a server running oS11.2 and KDE4.4.4 gives access to it's shared drives via NFS to two laptops (one with 11.2 the other with 11.3, both running kde4.4.4) and a desktop PC (running oS11.3 KDE4.4.4). The clients have no problems accessing the shared drive on the server via NFS. The problem comes when the network goes down or the connection to the network is lost.

Any applications open at the time that are 'looking' at the shared drive just hang forcing me to kill the application. Dolphin is a classic example. Even after the network comes back up Dolphin will not start properly and just opens a blank window. Starting dolphin from a console reveals nothing and the console just drops back to the command line with no output. Logging out and back in doesn't help so it's something at system level.My question is how can I make this more robust and allow the system recover gracefully and without taking down the applications when the network is lost?

OpenSUSE Network :: Mounting A Cifs Share As Normal User In OpenSuse 11.4?

Apr 2, 2011

Q: How can I allow my users to mount a cifs share without an entry in fstab in OpenSuse 11.4?

I have an answer myself. Until OpenSuse 11.2 I could mount my samba shares by making mount.cifs and umount.cifs setuid root. Today I installed OpenSuse 11.4. Unfortunately mount.cifs isn't anymore allowed to be setuid due to security concerns. Security is not an issue in my case, so I copied the mount.cifs and umount.cifs from 11.2 to make it work again:

1. Download cifs-mount-3.4.2-1.1.3.1.x86_64.rpm from this repository (I use 64 bit):
"http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/oss/suse/x86_64/"
2. Extract the files mount.cifs and umount.cifs from the rpm and copy them to /sbin
3. Make them setuid root:

Code:
linux-y5qw:~ # chmod u+s /sbin/mount.cifs
linux-y5qw:~ # chmod u+s /sbin/umount.cifs
4. Mount your cifs shares as a normal user:

Code:
martin@linux-y5qw:~> /sbin/mount.cifs //192.168.2.2/data /home/martin/data/ -ousername=martin

OpenSUSE Network :: 11.3 And Mounting Buffalo NAS?

Jul 18, 2010

I am running openSUSE 11.3 and I have a Buffalo LS-CH1.0TL NAS (it doesn't support NFS) that has all of my media and backup files stored on it. I can access the NAS just fine in Dolphin, but when I try to setup a music folder in any of the media programs (Amarok, Banshee, Rhythm Box) I am confined only to the drive on my computer. There are no options to browse a network share.

So, I guess I have to mount the drive. How do I do this? Is there a GUI I can use to do this, or is this something I need the command line to do? If so, what's the code I need to input to my fstab?

OpenSUSE Network :: NFS - Mounting During Boot Process On 11.4?

May 11, 2011

Using OpenSUSE 11.4 on a backup server. At boot, it needs to connect to the main server's NFS share. Watching the text scroll up the screen, it's obvious that the system waits for anything up to several minutes showing 'mounting NFS...'. Once it (eventually) passes that point, the rest of the boot procedure is as fast as expected.

If NFS is disabled at boot, normal boot times are restored. If the NFS client is restarted via 'rcnfs restart' once the system is up and running, it's instant. If NFS is disabled at boot and started manually afterwards, it start instantly. Once running, NFS behaves normally. The backup server has two ethernet ports, connected via a switch to the main server, which also has two ethernet ports. All ports are configured via DHCP from a router, with all addresses reserved on the router so that all important devices are kept at the same locations.

OpenSUSE Network :: Can't Connect To Shared Drives

Jul 24, 2011

I just upgraded from SuSE 11.3 to 11.4. For some reason, I can no longer access my shared drive from any other home computer. I can get out to the internet. I can ping other PCs on the network. Other PCs can ping me. My router sees all computers, and has assigned IP addresses dynamically. I have a shared folder, exported as an NFS mount point, that used to work! I've tried setting up Samba shares. Nothing! I disabled the local firewall, as my router already has a firewall running. Nothing! Nothing I've tried seems to work. I can not see that NFS mount point from any of my windows PCs. (I only have the one Linux server running, so I can't say whether another Linux box would see it or not!)

OpenSUSE Network :: Mounting NFS Shares According To LDAP Authentication?

Jan 18, 2011

I am posting this as I have tried several times to work this out. I have read article after article, post after post and tutorial after to tutorial to sort this issue. I have an Ubuntu 10.04 machine running as the LDAP and NFS server with two Opensuse 11.3 desktop machines. Both of the Opensuse machines can login using the LDAP server for authentication and this works fine. The server also exports the NFS Shares no problem but I am unable to mount the shares from the Opensuse machines. I have been using Yast, NFS Client to mount them.

Yast NFS Client can see the shares and lists them however when I apply the settings it states:

'Unable to mount entries in etc/fstab' I need to mount the shares according to the LDAP details as I want the users to be able to access their files no matter which machine they login at. Can anyone shed any light on the issue. Any help would be great and I would be enternally grateful as I am now beginning to pull my hear out slightly.

OpenSUSE Network :: Mount Error 12 When Mounting A CIFS Share?

Jan 26, 2010

We recently moved to a new home and I am trying to get my home file/print server set up again. Thanks to swerdna's excellent website, I got my server box (just upgraded from 11.0 to 11.2) running Samba and serving my shares over the network, and my "client" machines can access them without a problem.However, I'm not having much luck setting up CIFS mounts on my Linux desktop. I have my all-purpose user added to the Samba auth list (via smbpasswd), and configured my client as swerdna's howto's specify, and I can access the files just find. However, when I try to mount the shares with this command:

Code:

OpenSUSE Network :: Error Mounting NFS Shares Ato Boot Time?

May 20, 2011

I'm using Opensuse 11.4 updated from 11.3, update from 11.2 updated from. I'm mounting at boot time (in fstab) some shares from an opensuse 11.2 server. Mounting worked fine in 11.2, 11.3 and also in 11.4 but suddenly (maybe an automatic update?) It stopped working.... sometimes.

Sometimes they are mounted properly but sometimes they aren't. When mount fails I get a log error: "rpc.statd is not runninf but is required for remote locking. Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local or start statd"

If I run manually (as root) mount -a the shares mount properly always, so I thought it was a problem of timing (the service starting late) so I tried to get a script to run after the network initialitation, the script does: "mount -a". But it doesn't work either.

OpenSUSE Network :: Mounting Apache WebDAV Share On Windows 7

Aug 12, 2011

I want to setup a SSL encrypted WebDAV share on my OpenSUSE 11.4 server that is accessible from the internet. Everything is working fine when using Windows XP or Linux clients, but a connection with Windows 7 is not possible ("the selected folder is not valid").

I already searched for a solution to this problem I tried several setups:
- with and without encryption
- with Basic authentication
- with Digest authentication
- without authentication

I did not have success so far. Is there any solution to this (except not using Windows 7)? Or can anyone confirm that this should be working (and maybe my configuration is messed up)?
