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? :o 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!
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!

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:
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.

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.

This is from the Wuala forum:
YOU NEED TO INSTALL NFS-COMMON. YOUR SYSTEM IS WORKING AS NFS-SERVER
ITSELF… BE SURE YOU HAVE INTALLED NFS-COMMON OR NFS-SERVER…
The link to the discussion is ‘here’ (http://tinyurl.com/7x3lfq). That
may help - not sure anymore…
That advice may be for another distro or an older release of OpenSUSE.
In 11.1, the names are slightly different. You need the packages
Code:
yast2-nfs-server
nfs-kernel-server
Make sure you have these packages installed, and then go to YaST to
configure the server, exporting the directory mentioned in the first
field of that fstab line.
BTW, it’s better to use YaST to configure the fstab line also and let
YaST do what it deems best. I see you have lots of options on that fstab
line which may or may not be useful, and can have the potential to upset
things. I’m guessing you copied that line from a howto.

Well but Wuala would act as the nfs server as I understand it so yast
wouldn’t be able to do anything with that…
Also: yes i did copy the line from a howto. It’s suspecious that this
line used to work with OSS 11.0 and is working right now on my ubuntu
machine… >:(
Well I don’t know anything about wuala, but in any case you need some
kind of NFS server running on localhost if you hope to connect to it.
There isn’t anything wrong with that fstab line, except the noauto which
prevented it from starting at boot, but just make sure you understand
what all those options mean and why they are needed with whatever NFS
server is used.

I believe I need to noauto option cause the share is triggered to be
mounted by the application that’s not launched when the shares are
mounted on boot and hence there’s no wuala share to mount available at
this time…does this make any kind of sense? :\
Well if you are mounting on demand, and not on boot, then yes, you would
use noauto to specify no mounting on boot. But you wouldn’t be able to
use the init script to start the NFS client, you would just issue the
mount command. Just
mount /your/target/partion/path
as root should work. You will need to make sure the needed services
like portmap are already running by then, you’d have to set them to
enabled.
Not knowing anything about wuala and why it’s using NFS, I can’t say
much more about this.

Yup, I believe portmap is making me issues, i can’t start it
