Can anyone help me to better understand where I'm going wrong on this one?

The easiest way to check out (on the client side) what is being exported, is asking it :

jen4:~# /sbin/showmount -e nx1
Export list for nx1:
/volumes/tank/export/frop   @192.168.99.0/24,@172.16.13.0/24

What's the exact line you're using ?

Thanks Jan.

I have checked what's been exported and it shows:

showmount -e zfs Export list for zfs:

/volumes/zfs/vms @192.168.2.0/24 /volumes/zfs/software @192.168.2.100

$ sudo mount zfs:/volumes/zfs/software ~/software/ mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting zfs:/volumes/zfs/software

The IP of the machine I'm trying to mount with should meet both of the conditions above. so I'm not entirely sure where I'm going wrong!

Just following up on this and I have now seen the following in the log:

Jun 7 12:34:25 ZFS nfssrv: [ID 734524 kern.notice] NOTICE: nfs_server: client machine (192.168.2.100) sent wrong authentication for /volumes/zfs/software

Does anyone know what auth I should specify from an Ubuntu client to get this up and running?

What version of nfs are you using? This looks suspiously like nfs v4 error.

Agreed.

Hi all,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I have tested this on both NFS v3 and v4 and I see the same error on both.

Any ideas on troubleshooting this?

Thanks!

I would probably start by opening everything up and working backwards. Look at the permissions on the /volumes/zfs/software to see who the owner is.

I think this is probably an ownership problem. My guess is that directory is being owned by root.

Thanks Linda. I appreciate any help I can get!

I have checked the ownership on the directory by dropping to a bash shell and I got the following:

drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 5 Jun 7 15:29 software

Who should this be owned by? I created the above folder using the NexentaStor Web Interface and to test further I created another new folder via NMC and it ended up with the following ownership:

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2 Jun 8 16:09 nfs

I would think the directory should be owned by the user. Let me do some testing on my own box.

An easy test would be to #chown -R user software to see if that's the hang up

Thanks Linda.

So the run down would be:

Create folder via NMS/NMC Then enable NFS via NMS/NMC. Untick Anon and then specifying the IP, Host, Netgroup or Subnet for RW or RO. After this drop out of the NMC to expert mode and chown the folder to the user on the other machine?

Is there a how to or step by step for NFS for NexentaStor like there is for CIFS and the user guide?

Thanks!

I'm in a similar, but in a way worse, situation. I cannot get the NFS share to work under OS X. A simple, down to the point guide would be welcome!!! I'm losing my mind over this.
