OpenSuSE 13.1 -- nfs client only mounts first entry in fstab

English Network/Internet
1

I can only seem to get my 13.1 nfs clients to mount the first NFS entry in my fstab file. 12.3 clients are working fine…

rpc bind is running, firewall is disabled on all clients, chkconfig shows nfs enabled. The new Services Manager shows that
nfs and rpcbind are Enabled and active on the 13.1 client and nfsV4 is disabled on the server and client systems.

client fstab:
host:/usr/local/muse /usr/local/muse nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0
host:/usr/local/LINUX_FILES /usr/local/LINUX_FILES nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0
host:/usr/local/3rdparty /usr/local/3rdparty nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0

server exports:
/usr/local/muse *.compro.net(rw,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,sync)
/usr/local/LINUX_FILES *.compro.net(rw,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,sync)

Are you running NFS V3 or V4 connections between each of these machines?

4

I turned off NFSv4 to see if that might be the problem, so right now v4 is not even enabled on the nvs server system.

That is already much better readable. But we prefer that you include the prompt, the command, the output and the next prompt. And lines like

client fstab:

arre most probably not part of the compter text, so they do not belong there. How can we assess the computer text when you change things there. And the more while you do not tell you changed things (which is understandable when there is e.g. a password in a listiing).

We aqre relay non-believers of story telling. We believe computer facts (as long as they are not tinkered with).

7

OK in this case since we are talking about a client computer and a server computer, Its important that everyone know where
that particular data came from, so if I cannot put it in there where does it go?

Do I put it in the main part of the post and add separate code sections under each of those lines, like this:

client fstab – relevant lines posted:

Just saying once that ios is the server and otw-l is the client should be enough.
That is why we ask you to include the prompts.

OK after doing some more checking, it appears that the NFS mounts area actually there. The linux command df is just NOT showing them as mounted.
If I use df -a I get a good listing – relevant lines post for clearity.


otw-l:/usr/local/3rdparty # df -a

At any rate it appears NFS is working just the df command with no options only shows one nfs mount for some reason…

Thank you…

Not a criticism but you haven’t shown us what is mounted. Also, I’d
suggest trying to manually mount the problematic exports and see what is
reported. So I’d like to see the output of

mount

mount -v /usr/local/LINUX_FILES

mount -v /usr/local/3rdparty

11

I’m beginning to wonder how you configured the whole thing. When I add a mountpoint in the client, fstab looks like this:


10.11.12.100:/disk/Muzickx      /Data/Extra/Mount       nfs     defaults 0 0

on the server, /etc/exports


/disk/Muzickx   *(rw,root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)
12

I had just tried that when you were replying I guess. This is when I discovered that the nfs mounts where being reported as
already being mounted. Sure enough when I cd into the dirs the data was there. So seems the df command or whatever data
its using to report the listing has some sort of issue.

Thank you…

Good point. Don’t fret about Henk, he’s just trying to help you state
the problem clearly, which I think you have done.

14

I am not quite sure what you mean. The only difference between yours and mine appears to be a few nfs options are set in mine and you are using just the default settings, which do not work well for us here. I did try the default options though just to be sure it was nothing to do with our specific nfs options.

Thank you,
Curtis

15

No problem, I do want to make sure that I am clear, so I appreciate the
input. Next time I have a problem I will have a better understanding now of
what and how to post the data.

Thank you,
Curtis

16

Next time, please report what you are doiing, what you expect to happen and what happened instead. Do not jump to conclusions.

Often only the fact that one presses oneself into formulating ones problem with the approprite computer evidence, often leads to understanding the problem (and often seeing the solution).

When you would have started to show your df output anf told us you expected NFS mounted file systems there (which you then would have showed us by using mount as being present), we probably would have started studying your problem instead of thin air.

BTW I can not realy find in the df man page that NFS is not included by default, I can see a case for it. You export a directory (not nesseceraly being a file system mount point). I guess that what often is reported are the numbers (size, etc.) of the file system the exported directory is part of. More something to worry over by the manager of the server system.

17

Yes I understand now the more information I report the better
I appreciate all your input as it will help me with any future postings.

From the info data on the df command it reports that by default with
no command line options, ALL mounted filesystems should be reported as
show below.


ios:~# info coreutils 'df invocation'
File: coreutils.info,  Node: df invocation,  Next: du invocation,  Up: Disk usage

14.1 `df': Report file system disk space usage
==============================================

`df' reports the amount of disk space used and available on file
systems.  Synopsis:

     df [OPTION]... [FILE]...

   With no arguments, `df' reports the space used and available on all
currently mounted file systems (of all types).  Otherwise, `df' reports
on the file system containing each argument FILE.

Yes, df does report NFS mounts by default, so there’s something
strange on your system(s). Which machine or machines has this problem?

19

I can confirm this. On a 13.1 (installed this morning) that has an NFS mount, I do get a line in the df output for the NFS mount.

I also think that we should try to find out why (this is your real problem :wink: )

20

I get my locally mounted filesystems and one line of nfs mounted output instead of the three that are really there
when I run df with no arguments.
