Mount drive from network server

[wenkep3]

I've been attempting to mount a filesystem from a network server. I followed the 30.3 Handbook guide, but still no luck. Below are the commands/files I executed/wrote. The error I receive when mounting is Permission denied. The server is running FreeBSD and the client is PC-BSD.

# Server 192.168.1.9

# /etc/rc.conf
rpcbind_enable="YES"
nfs_server_enable="YES"
mountd_flags="-r"

# /etc/exports
/home/path/to/directory/ 192.168.1.7 #client ip

kill -HUP `cat /var/run/mountd.pid`
rpcbind
nfsd -u -t -n 4
mountd -r

# Client 192.168.1.7

# /etc/rc.conf
nfs_client_enable="YES"

nfsiod -n 4
mount 192.168.1.9:/home/path/to/directory/ /mnt
Permission denied

See if the filesystem is exported correctly:
# showmount -e 192.168.1.9

And make sure you're root on the client.

 

[wenkep3]

There's nothing listed with that command. I am root on the client.

There's nothing listed with that command.

If there's nothing listed there's something wrong on the server side. Make sure you SIGHUP both mountd and nfsd after making changes to /etc/exports.

I'm new to FreeBSD so I'm guessing that restarts the service. I did a complete restart of the system (before starting this thread) and still have the same result.

Have a look in /var/log/messages on the server, see if there are any errors relating to this.

 

[wenkep3]

I just have "unable to qualify my own domain name" which is apache.

 

[SirDice]

Can you post the output of # rpcinfo 192.168.1.9 that should show if NFSd and mountd are registered properly.

Remove the trailing slash from the exported directory and try again.
