Client Pc to NFS Server

[BStrizzy]

Hey guys, I just exported a file directory from my sever to be shared to my personal laptop. I used the single host option and entered in my ip address and I think I did everything correct on the export side via webmin.
The code I am using on my side via shell is
sudo mount 192.168.1.7: /home/bstrizzy/music /home/bstrawt/Music

and i keep getting this

Usage: mount -V                 : print version
       mount -h                 : print this help
       mount                    : list mounted filesystems
       mount -l                 : idem, including volume labels
So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'.
Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.
       mount -a [-t|-O] ...     : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab
       mount device             : mo

and pretty much the whole help text

what is going on?

Mounts


Check to see if everything works

You should try and mount it now. The basic template you will use is:
sudo mount ServerIP:/folder/already/setup/to/be/shared /home/username/folder/in/your/local/computerso for example:

sudo mount 192.168.1.42:/home/music /home/poningru/music


from ubuntu thread https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo

might need to update this!

mount -t nfs .......... ..........

this does not work help!! I am trying to mount my home music folder on ubuntu desktop to my music on my server. i keep getting the index when i use this too. i try this in both my shell on desktop and on my ssh

sudo mount 192.168.1.7: /home/bstrizzy/music /home/bstrawt/Music

It appears you have a space between the colon and /home. Remove it.

And you do not need to specify the filesystem type with -t for NFS mounts. The mount command deduces it is an NFS mount when it encounters the "server:/share" syntax.

by file system you mean?

good morning
i just looked at your weblink and saw the "-t" option has changed from "nfs" to "nfs4".
try: mount -t nfs4 ...... ......
good luck

P.S. man pages told me: nfs4 is deprecated. -t nfs must be ok

[SeijiSensei]

by file system you mean?

Things like ext4, ntfs, nfs, smbfs, etc., etc. All the different types of, well, "filesystems" that Linux supports. From the manual page for mount ("man mount"):

-t, --types vfstype
The argument following the -t is used to indicate the filesystem type. The filesystem types which are currently supported include: adfs, affs, autofs, cifs, coda, coherent, cramfs, debugfs, devpts, efs, ext, ext2, ext3, ext4, hfs, hfsplus, hpfs, iso9660, jfs, minix, msdos, ncpfs, nfs, nfs4, ntfs, proc, qnx4, ramfs, reiserfs, romfs, squashfs, smbfs, sysv, tmpfs, ubifs, udf, ufs, umsdos, usbfs, vfat, xenix, xfs, xiafs.

Did removing the space fix your problem?

it did not fix my problem, but when i added the 4 after nfs4, it seemed to work a little better.

bstrawt@panama:~$ sudo mount -t nfs4 192.168.1.7:/home/bstrizzy/music /home/bstrawt/music
mount.nfs4: mounting 192.168.1.7:/home/bstrizzy/music failed, reason given by server:
No such file or directory

the file I am trying to link is the file on my server with a music file on my home directory, do i need to put my desktop ipaddress before the destination mount? I tried that and it still didnt work. I will copy and paste my set up via webmin.

is my ipv4 network suppose to be 192.168.1.0 or 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.0/8 ? maybe this is the issue? see pic attached
