Wuala file system integration

[reggler]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the FIS from wuala going on my Opensuse 11.1 system.
It ran fine on 11.0...
It seems as if the nfs integration wouldn't work...

Code:
--------------------

reg@desktop-reg:~> sudo /etc/init.d/nfs start
Not starting NFS client services - no NFS found in /etc/fstab: unused
but remember my fstab says:
"localhost:/wuala /home/reg/wuala/direct nfs defaults,users,noauto,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,nolock,soft"

--------------------

Any clue(s) what could be happening here? In my fstab I got
this:*localhost:/wuala /home/reg/wuala/direct nfs
defaults,users,noauto,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,nolock,soft
*
I have portmap installed too.... there's been a discussion going on in
the Wuala forum and people there don't seem to be able to help me, the
link is: 'Could not upload file' (http://tinyurl.com/7x3lfq)

I would really appreciate if anyone was able to help me!

Thank you tons,
Ron

The lines that test whether your fstab has a nfs mount are these:


Code:
--------------------
while read what where type options rest ; do
case "$what" in
\#*|"") continue ;;
esac
case ",$options," in
*,noauto,*) continue ;;
esac
case "$type" in
nfs|nfs4) ;;
*) continue ;;
esac
nfs=yes
if test "$1" = status ; then
grep -qE "^$what[[:blank:]]+$where[[:blank:]]+nfs" /proc/mounts && continue
state=3
continue
fi
case "$where" in
/usr*)
usr="${usr:+$usr }$where"
NEED_LDCONFIG=yes
;;
/opt*)
opt="${opt:+$opt }$where"
NEED_LDCONFIG=yes
;;
*)
mnt="${mnt:+$mnt }$where"
test "$NEED_LDCONFIG" = yes && continue
grep -qE "^$where" /etc/ld.so.conf || continue
NEED_LDCONFIG=yes
;;
esac
done < /etc/fstab
--------------------


I don't see anything wrong with your fstab, but somehow nfs still
remains at "no" after the loop, so the case start-no was run, which
prints that message. Two things you could try. One is to run the init
script with -vx to show you the statements executed. Like this:


Code:
--------------------
# sh -vx /etc/init.d/nfs start
--------------------


That will tell you if the line was correctly read. Is there a
possibility it contains some junk characters or isn't properly
terminated with a newline?

The other is to try to mount the nfs from the command like with:


Code:
--------------------
# mount -a -t nfs
--------------------


That will tell you if mount is seeing that nfs line.

I don't quite get what I should read from

Code:
--------------------
# sh -vx /etc/init.d/nfs start
--------------------

the last few lines printed look like this:

Code:
--------------------

+ case "$1-$nfs" in
+ /usr/sbin/sm-notify
+ echo -n 'Not starting NFS client services - no NFS found in /etc/fstab:'
Not starting NFS client services - no NFS found in /etc/fstab:+ rc_status -u
+ rc_check
+ _rc_status_ret=0
+ test 0 -eq 0
+ test 0 -eq 0
+ return 0
+ test 0 -gt 7
+ _rc_status_ret=0
+ case "$_rc_todo" in
+ local i
+ for i in '"$@"'
+ case "$i" in
+ echo -e ' unused'
unused
+ rc_failed 6
+ rc_reset
+ _rc_status=0
+ _rc_status_all=0
+ rc_check
+ _rc_status_ret=0
+ test 0 -eq 0
+ test 0 -eq 0
+ return 0
+ return 0
+ case "$1" in
+ _rc_status=6
+ rc_check
+ _rc_status_ret=0
+ test 0 -eq 0
+ test 6 -eq 0
+ _rc_status_all=6
+ return 0
+ return 6
+ return 0
rc_exit
+ rc_exit
+ exit 6


--------------------

This doesn't say anything tio me...does it to you?
There shouldn't be any chunck in my fstab nfs line as i just completely
retyped it manually - just to be sure...
I got no clue what's going wrong....I'd appreciate your continuing
help! Thank you!
Ron

No, much earlier, in the loop where it reads the lines from fstab and
then checks the type field of each line. You should see it doing:

nfs=no

and then when it gets to your line it should detect the nfs type and
do

nfs=yes

My guess is for one reason or another, that line isn't recognised, so
nfs stays at no.

Another reason might be some stray spaces. There should be no space
between localhost: and /, also the path should contain no spaces.

The fstab line looks like this:
LOCALHOST:/WUALA /HOME/REG/WUALA/DIRECT NFS
DEFAULTS,USERS,NOAUTO,RSIZE=8192,WSIZE=8192,TIMEO=14,INTR,NOLOCK,SOFT
and all i see in the output is:

NFS=NO
+ NFS=NO

here's the whole output of the command:
'sh -vx /etc/init.d/nfs start
' (http://www.rideon.ch/public/ron/nfsoutput)

Thanks again for your help!
Ron

For some reason the nfs line is not recognised. Please post /etc/fstab.
Preferably don't paste it, but wrap it in a zip or tar archive so that I
can check for any illegal characters.

My fstab is right 'here'
(http://www.rideon.ch/public/ron/fstab.tar.bz2).

Thanks dude for looking into this for me!

Ahhhhh...

The reason is simple. See these lines in the script?


Code:
--------------------
case ",$options," in
*,noauto,*) continue ;;
esac
--------------------


That says: if noauto is in the options, then disregard this fstab line.
Since you have specified that your nfs mount is not to be mounted
automatically, it was ignored. Take out the noauto and it should mount
at boot.

Code:
--------------------

desktop-reg:/home/reg # mount -a
mount.nfs: mount to NFS server 'localhost:/wuala' failed: RPC Error: Program not registered

--------------------


What the heck does this mean?
