howNOTto setup and see NFS share from Ubuntu VM

[Tim1962]

Can someone please correct this into a HOWTO... !

Basic setup FN11 (192.168.0.110), Ubuntu server in a VM (so I can run Docker therein)(192.168.0.123) Whatever I do I can't get the NFS FreeNAS Share visible via the VM (though i seperately got SMB Share working OK)

On the FreeNAS I've set up a dataset "ncnfs" as /mnt/tank/ncnfs, owner nobody/nogroup (though tried every permutation before that!)

Added share to that with NFS, mapall as root,wheel

Tried
mount -t nfs 192.168.0.110:/mnt/tank/ncnfs /mnt/ncnfs
on the VM but that doesn't work

Added
192.168.0.110:/mnt/tank/ncnfs /mnt/ncnfs nfs guest,rw,auto,noatime,nolock,bg,tcp,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr 0 0
(latest version of many!)
mount -a works Ok(no errors) but doesn't connect the share

I am sure there is one or many glaring errors but I'm in severe hairpull mode and no longer sure I remember how to breathe! Anyone give me a nudge or two...

What error are you getting when you try to mount? Under the NFS share > advanced, did you set MapAll user and MapAll Group?

 

[Tim1962]

Currently(!) set as root/wheel respectively

On the VM if I type mount -a I get no errors but if I touch testfile on either side (FreenAS or Ubuntu VM), it doesn't show on the other

 

[mikensan]

What error do you get on the vm when you type mount -t nfs 192.168.0.110:/mnt/tank/ncnfs /mnt/ncnfs?

 

[Tim1962]

After umount /mnt/ncnfs
Then
mount -t nfs 192.168.0.110:/mnt/tank/ncnfs /mnt/ncnfs
No errors, just back to command line...

 

[mikensan]

Is the owner of the dataset still nobody/nogroup while mapall is set to root/wheel?

 

[Tim1962]

actually dataset owner is currently root/wheel (same as mappall) 777 with unix permissions type

 

[Tim1962]

Just set user to nobody, and share mapall to nobody and permissions type to windows and suddenly... Fingers crossed...
Not sure which actually made the difference but at this juncture I don't really care!
Thanks for the support, it really made a difference...
