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

Coume · 2011-01-26 19:11:01

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][root@phusis.protogenoi.com]
/mnt/aether Arch64# /etc/rc.d/rpcbind restart
:: Stopping rpcbind [DONE]
:: Starting rpcbind [DONE]
[18:59:32][root@phusis.protogenoi.com]
/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][root@phusis.protogenoi.com]
/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
Ludo

Start nfs-common after rpcbind. This information is available in the wiki - in future, please check there before asking here.

Hello Tom,

It is running:

[21:14:52][root@phusis.protogenoi.com]
/mnt/aether Arch64# /etc/rc.d/nfs-common restart
:: Stopping rpc.statd daemon [DONE]
:: Starting rpc.statd daemon [DONE]

/etc/rc,conf

Have you got any other idea?

Thanks

Did you open up the ports in

/etc/hosts.allow
/etc/hosts.deny

Coume · 2011-01-26 21:27:08

I believe, I did.

/mnt/aether Arch64# cat /etc/hosts.allow
#
# /etc/hosts.allow
#
rpcbind: 192.168.1.100/255.255.255.255
# End of file

#

As I am still fighting with this issue, I found a forum post (other distro) that was asking to check the output of showmount and I guess the prbl comes from there but have no idea on how to fix that...

[11:33:28][root@phusis.protogenoi.com]
/home/lcoumetou Arch64# showmount -e 192.168.1.100
clnt_create: RPC: Unknown host

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][lcoumetou@phusis.protogenoi.com]
~ 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

Thanks

Wow, that really saved me, thanks a lot! Had the same problem and updating the package fixed it.
