[FIXED] nfs mount can't read superblock
 

I'm having trouble mounting an nfs share. Trying to mount the share returns/etc/exports on the server (192.168.1.3) contains/etc/fstab on the client machine (192.168.1.6) has the line I'm at a loss to explain what's happening (or not happening). Anyone have any ideas?

Edit:

I have been digging around a bit further and somehow missed the complaints from the kernel in /var/log/syslog that portmap wasn't started locally.

Code:

---

Jan 15 12:12:11 maxdata kernel: RPC: failed to contact portmap (errno -5).
Jan 15 12:12:11 maxdata kernel: lockd_up: makesock failed, error=-5
Jan 15 12:12:46 maxdata kernel: portmap: server localhost not responding, timed out

**feels like a right fool..**

Do you the nfs server and portmap service started on the server? See the howto at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NFS-HOWTO/server.html to check and make sure everything is running ok.

try using the -o nolock option from the nfs mount command

First check :

#shoumount -e serverip

If you see the shares check the settings suggested by xjlittle

same issue, -o nolock works perfectly...
 

Thanks. ;)

Just had the same problem, opened up the firewall on the server and it is working now

It works. Thank you!

Worked out! Thank you.

I'm having the same problem as the rest here, but the command above works for me too "Thanks Obourdon", but if i want to add the mount to fstab how can i do that?

if i edit the /etc/fstab and add this entry

nfsrvr:/main /content/html nfs noauto,user,rw 0 0

it doesnt mount it on the next reboot, so i need to add the -o nolock but not sure how to do that in fstab.

Thanks,

Please ignore i've managed to resolve by doing the following


nfsrvr:/main /content/html nfs nolock,nfsvers=3 0 0

OK, thanks for the update and solution.
