I tried this command in a Ubuntu 10.10 server
$ sudo mount -t nfs4 -o port=99 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/home /mnt/tmp
The server returns an error message "mount.nfs4: Protocol family not supported" and I have installed nfs-common.
i'm trying to setup a nfs4 server and client. i followed the instructions in

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:

because we want UID/GUID to be mapped from names. This way, server and client do not need the users to share same UID/GUID. In that case,
1. Should i set those 2 fields to "no" and "yes" respectively instead?
2. Or else, how do i make sure that the uid on the server is mapped to something useful on the client instead of nobody and nogroup?
I have centos 5.6 I'm having trouble mounting my client on nfs4...
everytime I mount my client with proto=tcp I can't mount nfs4 exports directory
but if i change to proto=udp no problem mounting nfs4 export to client
This one no problem mounting
mount -t nfs4 -o hard,intr,proto=udp,port=2049,acregmin=24,acregmax=240,acdirmin=240,acdirmax=240,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 192.168.0.10:/ /uploads

I can not use nfs from F10 client to F12 server. nfs mount on F10 to F12 times out anf nfs4 mount gives "mount.nfs4: mounting localhost:/home failed, reason given by server: No such file or directory" I have tried to close firewall and set selinux to permissive mode on both client and server with same result. Samba works fine. On server [root@flokipal ~]# mount -t nfs4 localhost:/home /media/tonlist mount.nfs4: mounting localhost:/home failed, reason given by server: No such file or directory
but
[root@flokipal ~]# mount -t nfs localhost:/home /media/tonlist
[root@flokipal ~]#
works
Attempts to do a mount -t nfs4 servername:/share /mnt hang. Performing an strace of the mount shows that the mount command is attempting to find /sbin/mount.nfs4 The nfs server, client, and util packages are installled. Did ps -ef | grep idmapd; ps -ef | grep gssd to check client side daemons and things look good. Not using gssd right now tho. Just want to get the thing to mount. Firewalls are not running. Doing a showmount -e servername reports the shares as being offered. I can mount it using nfs v3 protocol.

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?

Before I go prodding about on this server does anyone have any experience of sharing a single folder over NFS3 (for compatibility) and NFS4 (for newer clients)??
View 4 Replies View Relatedi set up a ubuntu server (10.04) with LDAP, Kerberos and NFS4. Did a set up for a client (ubuntu desktop 10.04 32 / 64) to connect to ldap, kerberos and nfs4-mount. All is working fine except of the idmapping. Some uids are not mapped to names. the entrys, which cannot be mapped, change. so 10 minutes before the uid was mapped to the correct name, after that time (i'm not sure if it's exactly 10 minutes) the name is mapped to nobody. sometimes the gid cannot be mapped too.I mount the nfs-share via nfs4 with sec=krb5 (krb5i or krb5p result in the same problem) and after successfully mounting the device, i type ls -la. i never have problems with getent passwd or with logging in as ldap-user. i get all the entries of the ldap-db and i also get kerberos tickets. All is working fine with nfs3, but i would like to use nfs4 for security-reasons.
if i run the rpc.idmapd with many "-v" i get the following messages in the daemon.log-file:
Code:
....
rpc.idmapd[15953]: nfs4_name_to_uid: calling nsswitch->name_to_uid
rpc.idmapd[15953]: nss_getpwnam: name 'test@DOMAIN.TEST' domain 'DOMAIN.TEST': resulting localname 'test'
rpc.idmapd[15953]: nfs4_name_to_uid: nsswitch->name_to_uid returned 0
code....
the first part is the response to a correct name-to-uid-mapping the second part is a failed one. both user exist, both users have the same ldap-entries (except of the different descriptions, uid and so on). the responses have the same timestamp, so the reply is in (nearly) the same second.
restarting the idmap-daemon every 5 minutes or other workarounds are not practicable in normal operating environment.
I run a mediaserver on Archlinux, working perfectly (or almost). I have set up NFS v3 and that worked for me on these clients:

I am trying to mount my usb printer in Ubuntu Server 9.10. I'm trying to do this so that the usb printer will be picked up by vmware server so the Windows XP guest I have on there will then be able to access the printer as if it were hooked up to it directly. I found a few posts online and this is what I've done so far. I found in a couple of posts that they said I should uncomment out the following lines in /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh. Well I found that the file didn't exsist. Someone posted up their copy of it so I copied that code into the mountdevsubfs.sh script. That code is the following:
Code:
#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: mountdevsubfs mountvirtfs
# Required-Start: mountkernfs
# Required-Stop:

I also added this line to the bottom of my /etc/fstab file
Code:
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto 0 0
When I go ahead and run the script it errors out on this line:
Code:
. /lib/init/mount-functions.sh
I went to go look in /lib/init and the mount-functions.sh script doesn't exist. I've googled this and I haven't been able to find anything. why am I missing /lib/init/mount-functions.sh and how can I get that script?
I've built a customized 2.6.32 kernel over Ubuntu 10.04 server (physically) -note: it is the same version that comes with the livecd-. Then I added my stuff, cloned the disk, applied it to 3 different hardware boxes and it works perfectly. But when I put that image on a VMWare Workstation 7.1 or VirtualBox machine it doesn't load... I get a "kernel panic: not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown-block 0,0". So, I've created a new vm, I've installed ubuntu and it booted without a problem.
I ran my kernel patching as I did on the physical machine, but when I rebooted with the new kernel, I got the same error. So, the problem seems to be something in the customized kernel, but specifically going over virualized copies. By the way - In a previous version, specifically Debian 5 with kernel 2.6.18, I did the same stuff about a year ago and the machine loads perfectly in any virtualized environment. Then, the only thing left to think about my problem is that some grub parameter or kernel driver or something is messing up with booting. The customization of the kernel is only the patching for IMQ stuff.
My 11.04 installation is running beautifully in VM on ESXi. I'm trying to add storage so I added the disks, assigned them in vmware to the vm, then tried to mount them when I received the error code...
my setup:
HP Microserver, booting vmware from USB drive. Hardware RAID card (Adaptec RAID 2405), 2 x 250GB HDD in RAID1 (datastore1) with VM's, 2 x 2TB HDD in RAID1 (datastore2) - the storage I'm trying to add.
A search of the above errors yielded many results, all of them were different scenarios to mine.
I am connecting servers using NFS4 the shared directories are on servers running Debian 4 while the one who read from them is Debian 5.0.3. The problem is one of these shared servers suddenly stop responding and you cannot list it from Debian 5 server, also df hang, and the web application that is using it does not respond to requests that use this shared directory since it is blocked. Then the load on the server start to increase until the server cannot respond (over 90). I have found many entries in the syslog that refer to this like:
ma25555 kernel: [1200285.732919] nfs: server 10.xxx.xxx.xxx not responding, still trying

There are 3 other servers that are running Debian 4 and are working fine.
I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 running Ubuntu v10.04 with a wireless card.My desktop is a Dell Optiflex running WinXP.The desktop is connected via ethernet cable to a Linksys wireless router. Certain folders on the desktop are set for sharing. Up until early last week I was able to access the desktop folders from the laptop with no issues.Suddenly I am now getting this error "Unable to mount location Failed to mount Windows share" whenever I try to access the desktop folders from the laptop.I suspect an upgrade is the culprit, but not sure.

I have two external USB drives, that I need to mount at boot. I have been using /etc/fstab up until now, with the following entries:
Code:
However, as I gather from doing searches is quite common, occasionally I get an error during boot (causing the system to drop to a recovery shell) because the USB drives take time to wake up and the system hasn't found them by the time it reads /etc/fstab.
From doing searches, it seems there is nothing you can do to fstab to fix this, so you need to mount them using an rc.local script instead, using:
Code:
The problem is, as I have two USB drives, their /dev/sdxx location changes between boots. I thus want to use UUID codes as I do in fstab, however I haven't found anything about this.
Does anyone know how I can use the mount command and UUID to mount a drive in rc.local and what options I have to use the mount the drive with the same options that I am using in my fstab entry? Obvisouly, I can't refer back to fstab using the mount command, because then I will still get the boot error issue if they are listed in fstab. And there is no space internally for the USB drives as there is already two internal drives.

Yet, when I type mount all it reports is (rw,mand). The share works just fine, and I can see the masking (all files are showing as rwxrwxrwx as expected etc) but mount is not listing the options?!
Is this normal expected behavior? Is there a bug report on this? I've google'd to the best of my capabilities and could not locate any such information which is why I decided to hit the forums prior to filing a bug.
I have 2 internal drives. One is for the OS and one is for the Data. I tried to get the Data drive to mount automatically at login using some crap I found on a linux blog. Safe to say it didn't work and now I can't mount it with the OS on the OS Drive.
It mounts from a live CD and all the data is perfectly safe. When I try to mount the drive I get this error message: "Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mount: only root can mount /dev/sdb1 on /media/data" What have I done wrong and how can I make it mount again? Preferably this time at login.
