Sudden NFS Issues With Previously Working Config

Help and Support Raspberry Pi
1

I have 4 Raspberry Pi’s of various hardware versions. I have a Win 7 PC that I am sharing directories from while utilizing HaneWIN NFS Server. I changed nothing in the config on any Raspberry or the PC. Suddenly the NFS share for my video directory would not connect on any Raspberry. I updated one of the Raspberries to the latest available OSMC via manual update: 4.14.78-4-osmc

I did an uninstall / install of HaneWIN NFS Server, as well.

A showmount -e from the host:
osmc@Brooke-Pi:/mnt$ sudo showmount -e 192.168.1.7
Export list for 192.168.1.7:
/e/my videos 192.168.1.2,192.168.1.253,-range
/e 192.168.1.2,192.168.1.253,-range
osmc@Brooke-Pi:/mnt$

My fstab:
osmc@Brooke-Pi:/mnt$ cat /etc/fstab
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot vfat defaults,noatime,noauto,x-systemd.automount 0 0
192.168.1.7:/e/my\040videos /mnt/videos/ nfs _netdev,ro,intr,noatime,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,nolock,async 0 0

When I attempt to “sudo mount /mnt/videos” the command hangs until timeout. If I attempt to mount just from command line, bypassing fstab:
osmc@Brooke-Pi:/mnt$ sudo mount -v 192.168.1.7:/e/My\ Videos /mnt/videos
mount.nfs: timeout set for Sat Jan 5 15:45:52 2019

mount.nfs: mounting 192.168.1.7:/e/My Videos failed, reason given by server: No such file or directory

If I just mount E:, it works. I am then able to browse into My Videos:
osmc@Brooke-Pi:/mnt$ sudo mount 192.168.1.7:/e/ /mnt/videos
osmc@Brooke-Pi:/mnt$ ls /mnt/videos | grep “My Videos”
My Videos
My Videos.scn
osmc@Brooke-Pi:/mnt$ cd /mnt/videos/My\ Videos
osmc@Brooke-Pi:/mnt/videos/My Videos$ pwd
/mnt/videos/My Videos
osmc@Brooke-Pi:/mnt/videos/My Videos$ cd /mnt
osmc@Brooke-Pi:/mnt$ sudo umount videos/
osmc@Brooke-Pi:/mnt$ sudo mount 192.168.1.7:/e/My\ Videos /mnt/videos
mount.nfs: mounting 192.168.1.7:/e/My Videos failed, reason given by server: No such file or directory

I’ve messed with this for several hours now and I can’t find the fix. I do have SMB setup pointing to the same directory on the PC and it’s functional.

I did temporarily create an export to another subfolder of E:, to confirm it wasn’t a subfolder issue. It worked without a problem. That folder did not have a space in the name but again, it was working with the \040 space call.

Verify that the folder that you temporarily exported has the same permissions (and NFS config) as “My Videos”.

Next, try mounting “/e/my\040videos”, since that is what is exported.

NTFS is case-preserving, but insensitive, while NFS mounts are case sensitive. Also verify that the HaneWIN config is pointing the NFS export of “/e/my videos” to the right Windows folder, and that folder really exists (no accidental move/rename/etc.).

@nabsltd I tried a command line mount as described, no joy.

osmc@Brooke-Pi:/mnt$ sudo mount -v 192.168.1.7:/e/my\040videos /mnt/videos

osmc@Brooke-Pi:/mnt$

On the PC, I copied the export line into windows explorer and confirmed it opened E:\My Videos. I have “everyone” set to full control of E:\ and E:\My Videos, for troubleshooting purposes.

Here I tried again to mount My Videos, then just E:. As you can see, I can list the contents of the My Videos folder when E:\ alone is mounted.

From command line, this is incorrect, use:

osmc@Brooke-Pi:/mnt$ sudo mount -v 192.168.1.7:/e/my\ videos/ /mnt/videos

You only use \040 in fstab. From command line just a <space> is needed.

You haven’t recently upgraded to a newer version of HaneWin, have you? Or removed it and reinstalled? I had some very weird stuff happening with HaneWin a month or two back, which turned out to be the result of some settings that had been added since the last time I had installed it.

If I recall correctly, the two that were causing most of the problems were on the “Server” tab in the control panel app: make sure “Use Windows file ID as inode on NTFS volumes” is not checked, and set the extended character set to UTF-8.

You are a genius! This started after a power outage, yes I had not changed any settings, myself. I did upgrade HaneWIN NFS during my troubleshooting process and I cannot recall if those settings were on the previous iteration of the software. I figured the issue was somewhere in translation (which those settings confirm) but I couldn’t find an error to point to it. Thank you, Angry.Sardine!

You’re welcome. :sunglasses:

I was just having similar issues as well on version 1.2.29. Nothing was showing up on the exports list. I Upgraded and did your solution and all is good.
