Help setting up NFS

ssfrstlstnm · 09-10-2006, 01:10 PM

The server is static ip at 192.168.1.100 and the client is
wireless dhcp at 192.168.1.105. I am not sure if port forwarding
is correct on the linksys WRT54G router (see config below). I
am only using the router firewall. There are no firewall on
either client or server.

Code:

mount -t nfs 192.168.1.100:/home/stephen/ /mnt/develop/home/stephen/

it just hangs. Cant't find any info in /var/log/messages.

Here is my configuration on the server:

/etc/exports

Code:

/home/stephen/snd 192.168.1.105(rw)
/home/stephen/Steve 192.168.1.105(rw)
/home/stephen/prog 192.168.1.105(rw)

/etc/hosts.allow

Code:

portmap: 192.168.1.105
lockd: 192.168.1.105
rquotad: 192.168.1.105
mountd: 192.168.1.105
statd: 192.168.1.105

/etc/hosts.deny

Code:

portmap: ALL
lockd:ALL
mountd:ALL
rquotad:ALL
statd:ALL

Made a few modifications to:

/etc/default/nfs-kernel-server

Code:

RPCMOUNTDOPTS="-p 32767"

/etc/default/nfs-common

Code:

STATDOPTS="--port 32766 --outgoing-port 32765"

Code:

develop:/etc# rpcinfo -p
   program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
    391002    2   tcp    973  sgi_fam
    100003    2   udp   2049  nfs
    100003    3   udp   2049  nfs
    100003    4   udp   2049  nfs
    100003    2   tcp   2049  nfs
    100003    3   tcp   2049  nfs
    100003    4   tcp   2049  nfs
    100005    1   udp  32767  mountd
    100005    1   tcp  32767  mountd
    100005    2   udp  32767  mountd
    100005    2   tcp  32767  mountd
    100005    3   udp  32767  mountd
    100005    3   tcp  32767  mountd
    100024    1   udp  32766  status
    100024    1   tcp  32766  status

My WRT54G router setup for port forwarding. I'm not sure about what to put for the application names so I just called them nfs. Could this be the problem?

Code:

nfs 111 --> 192.168.1.100
nfs 2049 --> 192.168.1.100
nfs 32765-32679 --> 192.168.1.100

I dont see you sharing /home/stephen here.
/home/stephen/snd 192.168.1.105(rw)
/home/stephen/Steve 192.168.1.105(rw)
/home/stephen/prog 192.168.1.105(rw)

you would want to add
/home/stephen 192.168.1.105(rw)
and then use the mount command.
mount -t nfs 192.168.1.100:/home/stephen/ /mnt/develop/home/stephen/

one more thing is, I dont see a point of you forwarding your ports unless you would want somene outside from your lan to access it.

OK, I removed the port forarding stuff from the router table, and I try to mount /home/stephen/snd:

Code:

thinkpad:/etc# mount -t nfs 192.168.1.100:/home/stephen/snd/ /mnt/develop/home/stephen/snd/
mount to NFS server '192.168.1.100' failed: server is down.

At least it doesn't just hang, but still not working.

Got it after only six hours of trying!!! Portmap was bound to the loopback address. Just had to comment out the following line in /etc/default/portmap

Code:

#OPTIONS="-i 127.0.0.1"
