 Posted: Sun Jan 30, 2005 7:34 pm Post subject: Accessing NFS shares from Mac OSX |
 |
|
I just set up a fresh Gentoo system after a harddrive crash. I had been using NFS to access files from my iBook on my Gentoo box. After freshly reinstalling Gentoo, I can't seem to access the NFS shares anymore.
Using the "Finder" method in OSX (<apple>-K in Finder, then nfs://server/path) I get
| Code: | | Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct. |
If I try to mount in a console window this happens:
| Code: | mount sobe:/home/hal test
mount_nfs: /Users/hal/test: Protocol not supported |
Unfortunately I have no other Linux systems to test as clients, so I am not even sure if the problem is due to the server or client.
My /etc/exports on the server includes the following line for the directory in question:
| Code: | | /home/hal <IP of my iBook> (rw,root_squash,insecure) |
Any ideas? |

hal9000,
Use the gentoo box as both a client and a server and nfs mount the exported filesystem on the box doing the exporting. Its not a useful thing to do normally but it does work.
You may need to add to the exports file if it contains a single IP, rather than a subnet that includes both machines.

thanks for the suggestion, I just changed the /etc/exports by replacing the IP of my iBook with 'localhost' for the directory. I was able to mount the directory without any problem:
| Code: | | mount localhost:/home/hal test |
So it seems it is an issue with Mac OSX? |

hal9000,
Or something has changed that the Mac doesn't like.
Are you using a ssh tunnel ?
With a new install, the ssh fingerprint will change and any machine that has connected before will detect that.
============= edit =================
Your error message says | Code: | | Protocol not supported |
there are two different NFS protocols, ver 3 and Ver 4. Are you using the right one?

Neddy,
I do have ssh up and working again with the new keys, but am not tunneling. I am not sure about the NFS protocol versions, I never worried about this before. Which version do I need? How do I know which version I am using? |

hal9000,
I was hoping you wern't going to ask that. Its kernel options.
I normally include both but I only share with other Gentoo boxes.

well, I checked my kernel options and changed a few things. I had selected | Code: | | File Systems -> Network File Systems -> NFS server support |
but not | Code: | | Provide NFSv3 server support |
Added that, recompiled and rebooted.
I can now mount the share 
But when I try to open it, I get | Code: | | The folder XX could not be opened because you do not have sufficient access privileges. |
So I guess I will have to start playing with file privileges, squashing, etc. And I though this was going to be easy  |

I had about the same problem but I get:
| Code: | | Operation not permitted |
And it's not a root problem ..

Having the same problem - anyone ever figure out the solution?
On MacOSX 10.4.3 Tiger I get:
| Code: | | The folder "mphilips" could not be opened because you do not have sufficient access privileges. |

Hi Guys,
I am having also similar problems with mounting NFS with my MAC, with the LINUX SERVER.
(It looks like that there is a non trivial issue to make it work) (my post under mac user forum http://macusersforum.com/index.php?showtopic=11037 Same subject in parallel)
Is there someone who foudn the solution how to make it ?
Thank you very much !! |

It's been a while since I've toyed with NFS and OS X, but if I recall, it was helped to have the same username on both the os x box and the gentoo box and also to export the share with the insecure_port flag (or something to that extent).
