Hello,
after running TrueNAS 12 for some time I'm currently moving to TrueNAS 13. Since the update failed I did a new install of TrueNAS 13.0-U4 and am currently trying to restore my configuration. Unfortunately there is an issue with my NFSv4 configuration:
On the old installation (TrueNAS 12) I used an SSL tunnel to forward NFSv4 mounts from the client to the TrueNAS machine. The ssh tunnel at the client is setup as:
mgh@client$ sudo ssh -f -N -L 3049:truenas:2049 root@truenas
The NFS mount is then done as:
mgh@client$ sudo mount -tnfs4 -o port=3049 localhost:/mnt/data0/nfs/pictures /mnt/pictures
This worked fine on TrueNAS 12 but does no longer work on my current system running TrueNAS 13.0-U4. Up to now I checked the following:
1. opening a shell using ssh root@freenas from the client works, i.e., the correct ssh keys should be in place
2. TCP forwarding is enabled in the TrueNAS settings for SSH
3. /etc/exports reads as
V4: / -sec=sys
/mnt/data0/nfs -alldirs -network 192.168.88.0/24
/mnt/data0/nfs -alldirs 127.0.0.1
4. mounting from the client without using the ssh tunnel
mgh@client$ sudo mount -tnfs4 freenas:/mnt/data0/nfs/pictures /mnt/pictures
works, i.e., the NFSv4 configuration should be more or less OK.
5. mounting over the ssh tunnel gives an message in /var/log/messages
May 21 00:53:26 freenas 1 2023-05-21T00:53:26.597494+02:00 freenas.home.local sshd 2052 - - error: connect_to freenas port 2049: failed.
For me this looks like for some reason the sshd running on the FreeNAS machine is not allowed to connect/forward to the NFS server running on the same machine while remote connects to the same NFS server are accepted.
Thanks for your support, any suggestions are appreciated.
