Confused on how to export external USB drives as NFS shares
I followed the wiki to the best of my ability, but I can't seem to get this going. I have multiple USB drives that I use for a media server (all is working without NFS), and I'd like to set them up as NFS shares. Steps I've done:
- Drives already mounted in /etc/fstab
- mkdir -p /srv/nfs/mydrive /mnt/mydrive
- mount --bind /mnt/mydrive /srv/nfs/mydrive
- Edit /etc/exports and added "/srv/nfs/mydrive 192.168.4.52(rw,sync,subtree_check,fsid=0)"
- exportfs -arv
- systemctl restart nfs-server.service
When I first ran exports -arv I got "exportfs: /mnt/mydrive does not support NFS export", it is a ext4 formatted.
Then I ran systemctl restart nfs-server.service again and it seemed to crash the drive.
For the client I mounted with "mount 192.168.4.52:/ /mnt/mydrive".
So I'm not totally sure what I'm doing wrong.

Try adding crossmnt to the export options - also start w/ no_subtree_check and enable the check when things work.
Don't forget to re-export after editing the exports
