[SOLVED] Not able to mount NFS share

7thSon · 2019-07-08 15:36:17

I recently built a new home server running OpenMediaVault (Debian based OS), and I'm unable to get NFS shares mounted in Arch.

The share is found on the OMV server at /export/shared, and I've checked with showmount that it's reachable:

❱ showmount -e omv                                                
Export list for omv:
/export/shared  192.168.1.0/24

However, if I try mounting the folder I get this:

❱ sudo mount -t nfs4 omv:/exports/shared /mnt/shared
mount.nfs4: No such device

I've also tried these variants with the above results of "No such device":

sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=4 omv:/exports/shared /mnt/shared
sudo mount -t nfs4 -o vers=4 omv:/exports/shared /mnt/shared
sudo mount -t nfs4 -o vers=4 192.168.1.100:/exports/shared /mnt/shared

omv is of course in my hosts file:

#<ip-address>	<hostname.domain.org>	<hostname>
192.168.1.100   omv.local		omv

What else can I try? I believe the NFS should be v4 since the shared folders are found in /export on the server.
The IP of my Arch machine is 192.168.1.110, so that should be allowed to mount according to the showmount output...?

Otherwise:

I believe the NFS should be v4

Believing is good for religions, because you don't have to face reality.
Back in the real world: did you try "-t nfs"?

Yes, I did try "-t nfs" both with and without "-o=vers4". I appreciate your help, but you might as well have kept your unhelpful remarks to yourself.
I managed to solve this anyway, turned out my kernel version had updated, so the modules were not loaded, a reboot allowed me to use "sudo mount -t nfs omv:/export/shared /mnt/shared/"

Marking this as solved

Sorry if you feel offended, but in case that didn't come through: "believing" does not work with reality.
That's not an "unhelpful remark", that's an essential attitude to deal w/ problems in the real world.
These systems in particular are deterministic, you can actually think and check stuff to systematically solve problems. What you may or not believe is meaningless here.

Edit: rpcinfo -p omv

You do have a good point, seth, but you could've gotten it across without bringing religion into it. That was unnecessary.
