nfs "server" problems

[Mork]

I just kicked out my "freenas" and trying to get TCL 3.3 to do the work instead.
I'm using mdadm to create a stripe ext4 mounted on /mnt/md0.

Installed the nfs-utils and created the folder /mnt/md0/Dreambox did a chmod 777 on the folder to gain acces for everybody.

My /etc/exports is as follows

# /etc/export

/mnt/md0/Dreambox *(rw,insecure,all_squash,anonuid=65534,anongid=65535)

this should give when trying to mount the share as root on the client a nobody user and group at the server

At the client
root@dm800:~# mount -t nfs 192.168.2.222:/mnt/md0/Dreambox /media/nfs

gives :

mount: 192.168.2.222:/mnt/md0/Dreambox failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
mount: nfsmount failed: Bad file descriptor
mount: Mounting 192.168.2.222:/mnt/md0/Dreambox on /media/nfs failed: Invalid argument

What I'm I doing wrong ?

Did you run "/usr/local/etc/init.d/nfs-server start" on the server after mounting your RAID?

[Mork]

Yes, runing that after mdadm and after smb even ;-)

 I'm thinking if it might be some problems with nfsd but I'm to much of a novice in nfs to be sure

Did you install the filesystems-2.6.33.3-tinycore.tcz extension?  Since it is not needed to mount as a client, it is not installed by default when nfs-utils is installed but instead mentioned in the info file since it is only required for use as an nfs server.  It has the needed nfsd module.

Thanks Jason!

I should stand in the RTFM corner.

Now it works

Actually, I had almost forgotten that another package outside of nfs-utils is needed for the server use, and probably every other distro has all it needs for nfs serving contained in the nfs-utils package (with deps) and the default kernel.  Easy to overlook.

Glad to hear it works now.

Nanu-nanu.
