I have an old laptop that is running Fedora 27 on it and a couple of USB drive hard drives. They are Auto mounted by Fedora in run/media/username/drivename.
I followed the instructions above using IPAddress:/run/media/userbame/drivename /mnt/drivename nfs noauto,xsystemd.automount 0 0 in /etc/fstab
When I try to mount them it times out. If I use the -v option it says no such file or directory. Any thoughts?
Well this how to is written quite well
I used showmount -e to find the paths and used those in my commands.
I agree this how to is excellent
I wasn’t sure if the automount on the nfs server might be an issue though
Than I suggest to show the output here so people can advice
Showmount -e run on server
/run/media/ncusack/Expansion *
/run/media/ncusack/Elements *
@nickc So, your /etc/fstab should look like
IPAddress:/run/media/ncusack/Expansion /mnt/Expansion nfs defaults,noauto,x-systemd.automount 0 0
IPAddress:/run/media/ncusack/Elements /mnt/Elements nfs defaults,noauto,x-systemd.automount 0 0
/mnt/Expansion and /mnt/Elements as mount pointswhat is the output of
sudo mount -v -a
sudo mount -v /mnt/Expansion
sudo mount -v /mnt/Elements
Hi,
My /etc/fstab file does indeed have those two lines using the laptop IP address.
Sudo mount -v -a
osmc@osmc:~$ sudo mount -a -v
/boot : ignored
/mnt/Expansion : ignored
/mnt/Elements : ignored
osmc@osmc:~$ sudo mount -v /mnt/Expansion

@nickc So, looks like something is blocking the rpcbind protocol communication to the nfs server. Do you have a firewall or iptables rules active on the Fedora?
Try to deactivate it for tests and see whether nfs mounts works then. Typically ports 892 and 2049 are used by nfs mounts.
Just a correction: There is a typo in your post I copied and modified in mine. It must be
x-systemd.automount
and not
xsystemd.automount
in the /etc/fstab
@JimKnopf thanks for the pickup in my /etc/fstab. I corrected that.
i have not installed any firewall with Fedora.
I am not familiar with iptables but I have pasted the list of the tables here.
osmc@osmc:~$ sudo iptables --list
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
osmc@osmc:~$ sudo iptables --list-rule
-P INPUT ACCEPT
-P FORWARD ACCEPT
-P OUTPUT ACCEPT
Could my access point be causing this? the laptop and raspberry Pi are connected though my Telstra router.
@JimKnopf I just ran a NMAP from another pc in the network and scanned my Fedora IP address. It says port 2049 is open.
Could be! So, after the correction in /etc/fstab (hope you inserted the defaults-option as well), please, give again some data
cat /etc/fstab
sudo mount -v -a
sudo mount -v /mnt/Expansion
ping < ip address of the Fedora NFS server> (abort with ctrl-c)sudo rpcinfo -p < ip address of the Fedora NFS server>
@JimKnopf
Here it all comes
osmc@osmc:~$ cat /etc/fstab
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot vfat defaults,noatime,noauto,x-systemd.automount 0 0
# rootfs is not mounted in fstab as we do it via initramfs. Uncomment for remount (slower boot)

(reformated by JimKnopf for better readability)
