NFS over SSH Fedora core 1

jwr · 02-27-2007, 04:47 PM

I cannot get "mount -t nfs .....etc" to accept port numbers

eg

this command is accepted:

ssh -f -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa -L 4001:192.168.1.72:2049 -L 4002:192.168.1.72:10004 192.168.1.72 sleep 60m

this command is rejected:
mount -t nfs 192.168.1.72:/mypub /mymnt -o tcp,port=4001,mountport=4002

but this command is accepted:

mount -t nfs 192.168.1.72:/mypub /mymnt -o tcp

This page has given me some more ideas.

excerpt
"Because of the way ssh handles forwarded connections (tunneling), the /etc/exports file must be created or modified to export the NFS shares to itself, but not to the localhost."
