NFS Yast Configuration dialog doesn't appear to work

English Network/Internet
#1

While setting up my fresh new installation of Leap 15.1, I could not get the NFS Client dialog in Yast to create a mount for my NFS server export. Nothing happened at all. I went to the terminal and ran showmount -e ‘my server’ and saw the export list just fine. I then mounted using the cmd line, and mounted just fine. I also, mounted using the Partitioner dialog in Yast to mount the NFS exports, and that also worked ( plus added to fstab, bonus). In the past versions of OpenSuSE, prior to 42.3 (my last ver before 15.1) I’d always mounted NFS exports manually via the cmd line, but thought that since it worked perfectly in 42.3, it would do so in 15.1.

Let me know if I’m missing something, otherwise I may submit a bug report.

Thanks!

Sounds like a missing mount command.

Recommend confirming by leaving open a console running the following to display what the YaST module does, whether it tries to execute the mount command

journalctl -f

If you can confirm the mount is command is missing or the command executes but throws an error,
You might submit an issue to https://bugzilla.opensuse.org

I didn’t run it with the Partitioner, which would be a successful run. I’ll post the results after that’s done.

This was the successful mount with the partitioner part of Yast (odd)

Jun 07 15:34:33 linux-occ7 systemd[1]: Failed to set up mount unit: Device or resource busy

I guess it’s time for a bug submission…:\

#5

Yast performs Umounts on all the NFS exports when the script loads but fails to successfully issue any mounts when the script exits.
