unsuccessful at adding more NFS shares howto fix?

Code:

[root@centos ~]# cat /etc/exports

#

#      /etc/exports



#      NFS4

/exports *(rw,insecure,subtree_check,crossmnt,fsid=0)

/NFS_TV_Shows *(rw,insecure,subtree_check,crossmnt,fsid=0)



#      NFSv3

/exports/centos/public *(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,fsid=3010)

#NO#HOMEDIRS#  /exports/centos *(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,fsid=3000)

/NFS_TV_Shows/centos/public *(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,fsid=3010)

all i did was copy the *(... and place that after each of the proper paths. I have the new drive mounting in the server as follows:

Code:

[root@centos ~]# cat /etc/fstab

I have restarted rpcbind, nfslock, and nfs as well as ran exportfs -a. No errors, but when I try to mount on my mac the new share It never mounts as /NFS_TV_Shows, but only as /exports.

What did I do wrong and how do I fix this?

FYI the mount command Im using on my mac is:

Code:

mount -t nfs jackknife:/NFS_TV_Shows /Users/ssma/Desktop/LVM2/

I get no errors, but I do get the mount logo on my LVM2 folder on my desktop. When I open it with finder it only shows jackknife with export/centos/public, never the path I mounted.

Something is wrong.

Command should be, as:

Code:

~$ mount -t nfs server_IP_addr:/share_name /local_mount_point

While in your command:

Code:

~$ mount -t nfs jackknife:/NFS_TV_Shows /Users/ssma/Desktop/LVM2/

Is remote nfs server is centos or jackknife? Also after this did you invoke shareall cmd?

Also once check this out here.

the issue is not with the mount command or the share as the first export works flawlessly and has for some time. the new share is the issue. here is an update:

Quote:

On my CentOS 6.x server I am running NFS to feed to the house my media
of movies, videos, and music. As I was running out of storage space I
added an other 1.5TB drive yesterday. I have moved all of my TV shows
over to that drive and am attempting to add that to the NFS shares.
No matter what I try when I go to mount the new share, without errors
mind you, it only mounts the first point and never the new one.
On the server my /etc/exports looks like the following:
=========================

[root@centos ~]# cat /etc/exports
#
# /etc/exports

# NFS4
/exports *(rw,insecure,subtree_check,crossmnt,fsid=0)
/NFS_TV_Shows *(rw,insecure,subtree_check,crossmnt,fsid=0)

With NFS4, you can only have one fsid=0 on a server, such as /exports here. You need to mount everything else on the server under that fsid=0. And with NFS4, when you go to mount the directory on clients, you need to refer to the subdirectory under the fsid=0 directory.

E.g., if you mount the new file system as /exports/NFS_TV_Shows, you would mount the directory as servername:/NFS_TV_Shows.

So if I follow this correctly I should not have the new drive mount at /NFS_TV_Shows, but at /exports/NFS_TV_Shows then the NFS4 will function properly?

Quote:

# NFSv3
/exports/centos/public *(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,fsid=3010)
#NO#HOMEDIRS# /exports/centos *(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,fsid=3000)
/NFS_TV_Shows/centos/public *(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,fsid=3010)

You can_not_ re-use fsid, even with NFSv3. You already have a "fsid=3010", so re-enumerate the share as "fsid=3020" or something. And what's with the "/centos/public" at the end of the directory?

I was trying to copy the similar path you had setup under /exports. I had no clue but after the first time trying it with just /NFS_TV_Shows and getting errors for duplication I added the two sub-directories.

So I have made the following changes:

[root@centos ~]# d /exports/NFS_TV_Shows/centos/public/

not sure if this is progress, but now I am having permissions issues:

Code:

ssma-imac:~ ssma$ mount -t nfs jackknife:/NFS_TV_Shows /Users/ssma/Desktop/LVM2/

mount_nfs: can't access /NFS_TV_Shows: Permission denied

so obviously i messed up again.

p.s to answer your question I can use jackknife instead of an IP as I run internal DNS. jackknife = IP of my NFS server.

more notes:

just to add as this might help:

Code:

ssma-imac:~ ssma$ showmount -e jackknife

Exports list on jackknife:

/exports/NFS_TV_Shows/centos/public *

/exports/centos/public              *

/exports/NFS_TV_Shows              *

/exports                            *

so the exports are there, just not sure why im getting permissions errors.

also as an experiment i used the following command to mount the share and created a perpetual loop... not good:

Code:

ssma-imac:~ ssma$ mount -t nfs jackknife:/exports/NFS_TV_Shows /Users/ssma/Desktop/LVM2/

it mounted without issue, but when I looked into it in my finder I saw under jackknife both the centos and NFS_TV_Shows. Problem is that when I open the NFS_TV_Shows directory it has a duplicate of jackknife...

centos
NFS_TV_Shows
.....centos
.....NFS_TV_Shows
..........centos
..........NFS_TV_Shows
...............etc...

perpetual loop. worthless. so i really goofed that up. sorry cant show you the GUI finder window loop.

found the answer, I was being very blonde when I received the instructions. I did not need to add the 2nd line for the NFSv4 with the fsid=0 line. Once I commented that out, and ran exportfs -r I was then able to umount and mount the NFS share like always but now I have access to the new HDD.

Code:

[root@centos public]# cat /etc/exports 

#

#      /etc/exports



#      NFS4

/exports *(rw,insecure,subtree_check,crossmnt,fsid=0)



#      NFSv3

/exports/centos/public *(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,fsid=3010)

#NO#HOMEDIRS#  /exports/centos *(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,fsid=3000)

/exports/NFS_TV_Shows *(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,fsid=3020)

Also note that for NFSv3 I removed the subdirectories under /exports/NFS_TV_Shows now that functions properly as well.
