SOLVED NFS mount point not found.

[pnunn]

Hi there,

I'm really struggling with this. I have truenas 13.0-U1.1 system running and am trying to set up an NFS share with spectacularly no results and I'm out of ideas.

The shares seem to have been created OK

cat /etc/exports
/mnt/Bucket2/VMBackups -alldirs -maproot="nobody:"nogroup" -network 192.168.44.0/24
/mnt/Bucket2/Test

But no matter what I try from another linux box on the same network I cannot get these to mount.

mount -t nfs tstmnt 192.168.44.155:/mnt/Bucket2/Test
mount.nfs: mount point 192.168.44.155:/mnt/Bucket2/Test does not exist

I've tried this from multiple machines with the same result.

a) How do you troubleshoot this?
b) Any ideas what might be wrong?

I can ping 192.168.44.115 fine on the network, and the GUI is working on this IP address (over a lagg network connection).

Peter.

Using only the GUI, correct?


This is the incorrect syntax.

Code:

mount -t nfs tstmnt 192.168.44.155:/mnt/Bucket2/Test

It's supposed to be in the format of:
mount -t nfs server:/path/to/share /local/mount/point



So something like this, assuming the directory /mnt/tstmnt exists on the client:

Code:

mount -t nfs 192.168.44.155:/mnt/Bucket2/Test /mnt/tstmnt

how embarrassing.. I can't believe I had them back the front.. thanks so much for that.

Yes, config from the GUI.

Now, when I do it the right way , and as root, it works from the linux box.

Thank you so much!!

For those following along at home.. it was a permissions issue.

I needed to create a new user in truenas, give it r/w access to all of the files in the share, use that user in the share settings and off we go in Xen Orchestra.
