HOWTO: NFS Server/Client

[Jose Catre-Vandis]

@red71

Did you try without the two "0"s at the end? I don't have those in my fstab.

[red71]

Removing the 0 0 doesn't change anything.

What response do you get if you type the following:

mount

and

sudo mount -a

in a terminal

[red71]

Adding auto in options line works !
Shame on me since it seems a very "simple solution".
Now it works as I would

[red71]

Here my last version with improved performance.
Any ideas on it ?

192.168.71.1:/Qmultimedia /mnt/qnap210/Qmultimedia nfs auto,user,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,intr 0 0

Thanks to the OP. I was having REAL problems getting this going but I figured it out when I checked the log files using the log file viewer. This info may help others so I'm posting it here.

Before you run the command that is causing you problems (for me it was the mount command) start the Log File Viewer under System | Administration on both the server and the client machines. Then run the command that is causing problems. The log file viewers will then highlight the areas where there are new logs. Click on those and check the information given. For me, I was getting a server refusal to connect for a reason I couldn't understand. When I ran the command, the server log file viewer showed me the reason. I didn't have the directory path specified correctly. When I changed that on the client's mount command, bingo, it all worked!

So thanks once again for this How To info.

Finally I can share network folders... now back to solving my samba issues...

My issues are resolved ! I buyed a Synology DS-209...
Now Samba and NFS transfer are between 20MB/s and 55MB/s !

Great HOWTO!! What I couldn't do in the past three days, I was able to do in 3 mins with these instructions!!

It's HOWTO's like these that really propel LINUX.

I got another problem.
From Windows, no problem to add/delete files on my NAS.
From ubuntu 9.10, mounting/viewing/reading NAS folders is ok, but i can't add/delete files UNLESS i'm Root. Acess privileges are correctly defined on my NAS, so I should can delete files even I'm not Root.
Anyone could help me ?

Here is line I have in my /etc/fstab
192.168.71.1:/volume1/NAS_maison /mnt/Syno209/NAS_maison nfs suid,dev,exec,auto,user,async,rsize=8192,wsize=819 2,soft,timeo=14,intr 0 0

i see a space in your file path, "192.168.71.1:/volume1/NAS_maison /mnt/Syno209/NAS_maison" after /NAS_maison /. Also, you'll need to show us the folder privileges on your nas to see who can all write to it. also, is your UID and GID the same on the nas as they are on the client?
