[NFS] No such file or directory on mount

So because sshfs is slow in a small network and the encryption is useless i decided to setup NFS

But when mounting i get this error:

[~]:$ sudo mount -t nfs4 192.168.0.100:/home/jelle/Downloads /home/jelle/Downloads/ -v
mount.nfs4: timeout set for Fri Nov 27 21:16:26 2009
mount.nfs4: text-based options: 'clientaddr=192.168.0.102,addr=192.168.0.100'
mount.nfs4: mount(2): No such file or directory
mount.nfs4: mounting 192.168.0.100:/home/jelle/Downloads failed, reason given by server:
  No such file or directory

I have searched the forum and wiki but couldnt find any clue.

SERVER SETUP

/etc/hosts.allow

nfsd: 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0
rpcbind: 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0
mountd: 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0

/etc/exports

/home/jelle/Downloads 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0(rw,subtree_check,async,no_root_squash,fsid=0)

SERVER[~]:$ sudo exportfs -v
/home/jelle/Downloads
        192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0(rw,async,wdelay,no_root_squash,fsid=0)

And on my Desktop
hosts.allow

/home/jelle/Downloads 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0(rw,subtree_check,async,no_root_squash,fsid=0)

Re: [NFS] No such file or directory on mount

i have the same problem.  the error printed is "no such file or directory" even though the directory exists, on the server.  let me know if you had any luck?

[solved]

when you mount the share on the client only use '/' for root. it will mount whatever directory specified in the config.

Re: [NFS] No such file or directory on mount

Quite old thread, but I had a similar problem today. It may be helpful for future visitors.

I was trying to put a share to another subnet, while i got the same error message. It turned out that I only specified the fsid=0 entry for the range of the old subnet, so the new one had no /-mount point to look at. This results in the ENOENT error message just as above.
So be sure to have a proper for all clients accessible fsid=0 export.

Cheers,
Cae

Re: [NFS] No such file or directory on mount

closing a necrobumped thread. This info, I believe, is also available on the wiki.
