How to get NFS client to work

General system Newbie
1

I am using the latest version of EndeavourOS and I try to connect to my FreeNAS / TrueNAS using NFS. I am a Debian / RedHat user trying out somethings else :slight_smile:

showmount -e 192.168.192.2

Export list for 192.168.192.2:
/mnt/pool2/dataset2/myname-storage2 (everyone)
/mnt/pool1/dataset1/myname-storage1 (everyone)

sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=4 192.168.192.2:/mnt/pool1/dataset1/myname-storage1 /home/myname

/storage1
[sudo] wachtwoord voor myname:
mount.nfs: Protocol not supported

I installed NFSutils but no luck.

Any idea?

Welcome to the forum! :smile:

What happens if you drop the version option? It should automatically negotiate the proper version.

See: man nfs

sudo mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=3 192.168.192.2:/mnt/pool1/dataset1/myname-storage1 /home/myname/storage1

Created symlink /run/systemd/system/remote-fs.target.wants/rpc-statd.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/rpc-statd.service.

Yes that does it. THX

Curious, works for me without that linkage

[xxxxx@ryzen7 ~]$ sudo mount -t nfs raspberrypi2:/export/users /mnt
[sudo] password for xxxx: 
[xxxxxx@ryzen7 ~]$ df -h

[xxxxx@ryzen7 ~]$ ls /run/systemd/system/remote-fs.target.wants
ls: cannot access '/run/systemd/system/remote-fs.target.wants': No such file or directory

BTW, I use autofs to avoid the sudo shenanigans

[xxxxx@ryzen7 ~]$ cd /net/raspberrypi2
[xxxxx@ryzen7 raspberrypi2]$ cd export/
media/ music/ users/ 
[xxxxx@ryzen7 raspberrypi2]$ cd export/media
[xxxxx@ryzen7 media]$ df -h

raspberrypi2:/export/media  6.9G  3.5G  3.1G  54% /net/raspberrypi2/export/media

For this to work seamlessly in terms of permissions, I ensure that user ids on all my machines are the same.

Maybe this version option (like below in blockquote) can be left out and than it will automatically find the right version?
