 Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2022 12:29 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Mount NFS share on server question |
 |
|
What concerns me is the fs type is ext4 on the server. Can I use some form of (127.0.0.1:distfiles <mountpoint> nfs noauto,rw,_netdev 0 0) in fstab on the sever?
Server
| Code: | A333 ~ # grep DIST /etc/portage/make.conf
DISTDIR="/mnt/distfiles" |
| Code: | # grep dist /etc/fstab
PARTUUID=65be14f0-3910-4c75-9800-d08c095b16c5 /mnt/distfiles ext4 auto 0 1
/mnt/distfiles /export/distfiles none bind 0 0 |
| Code: | A333 ~ # mount |grep dist
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/distfiles type ext4 (rw,relatime)
/dev/sda1 on /export/distfiles type ext4 (rw,relatime) |
| Code: | A333 ~ # df -hT |grep dist
/dev/sda1 ext4 118G 14G 99G 12% /mnt/distfiles |
Client
| Code: | ~$ mount |grep dist
A333:/distfiles on /mnt/distfiles type nfs4 (rw,relatime,vers=4.2, <snip> ,clientaddr=192.168.1.166,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.1.153,_netdev) |
Thanks,
shrike

It is already mounted as a partition.
With nfs you share already existing directories via /etc/exports NOT partitions.
What exactly are you trying to accompish ?
This
| Quote: |
127.0.0.1:distfiles <mountpoint> nfs noauto,rw,_netdev 0 0
|
is a bit weird.
Why mount it as nfs share when you can --bind mount it.You already did.
Nevertheless you either need
127.0.0.1:/mnt/distfiles
or in case of setting fsid=0 on a parent directory
127.0.0.1:/distfiles
Something like
| Code: |
mkdir -p /mnt/nfs/distfiles
echo "/mnt/nfs *(rw,fsid=0)" >> /etc/exports
echo "/mnt/nfs/distfiles *(rw,nohide)" >> /etc/exports
|
together with any other nfs sharing options.
BETTER just leave /dev/sda1 mounted on
/var/cache/distfiles
Then bind mount
/var/cache/distfiles to /mnt/nfs/distfiles
then share it with nfs.

alamahant,
Thanks for 'faster than greased lightning' response. :)
I have not have any issues as currently configured yet it seemed wrong for the server to access /mnt/distfiles w/o nfs mediation. At least during update day with a few clients contending for access. Seeing your response perhaps the question should have been, is my nfs server ok with '/mnt/distfiles /export/distfiles none bind'?.
Thanks for taking the time to ease my troubled brow.

What is the output of /etc/exports?
Are you sharing /mnt/distfiles or /exports/distfiles?
In /etc/exports plz use "sync" sharing option

I am not sure how to answer this question. What command should I use? Or perhaps this is already answered in the 'Server - fstab' in OP.

"sync" is set.
Thanks,
shrike

On the server at 192.168.0.105 where it is assumed that /mnt/storage1 is mounted as an ordinary partition:
| Code: | $ grep mnt.storage1 /etc/exports
/mnt/storage1 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)
$ grep mnt.storage1 /etc/fstab
UUID="acf5c411-e2ad-4dfa-8740-4a8fbb27eb20" /mnt/storage1 ext4 exec,dev,noatime,suid 0 2 |
On the client:
| Code: | $ grep mnt.storage1 /etc/fstab
192.168.0.105:/mnt/storage1 /mnt/nfsstore nfs rw,nfsvers=3,noauto,user,hard,tcp 0 0 |

figueroa,
Thanks for sharing.
With the deprecation of http-proxy (python2.7) a while ago its been a adventure finding a replacement. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Local_distfiles_cache provides two alternatives, apt-cacher-ng and nginx. apt-cacher worked well but seemed foreign to portage. nginx sample configuration file is not a drop in and go example. I was disappointed in my inability to compose a working config for this storied package. Then, I saw recent mentions here in the forums of nfs as a distfile server so I adapted Funtoo's nfs wiki (https://www.funtoo.org/Nfs) to the purpose.
My NFS distfile server works for my home LAN. Yet it is unusual for a server to be a client too.
But to your NFS server/client configuration is the server a Gentoo machine? If yes what is DISTDIR=?
Thanks,
shrike
edit 1 Change 'Local Mirror' to 'Local Distfiles' link.

You'd have to adapt my NFS configuration to your use-case. I don't use NFS to get my portage updates, but rather rsyncd on the host and sync-uri = rsync://192.168.0.105/gentoo-portage on the client in /etc/portage/repos/gentoo.conf.
On the host, /etc/rsyncd.conf
| Code: | pid file = /run/rsyncd.pid
use chroot = yes
read only = yes
uid = nobody
gid = nobody
hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/24
hosts deny = *
max connections = 2
[gentoo-portage]
path = /usr/portage
comment = Gentoo Portage tree
exclude = /distfiles /packages
|
To make available a common distfiles by NFS, which I don't, It would be sufficient to NFS export your host distfiles by NFS and then mount that share on the client, and indicate the mounted location in /etc/portage/make.conf. There is no need to "mount" it on the host. Your distfiles directory should ordinarily be always mounted on the host as part of your normal filesystem layout, whether /usr/portage/distfiles or /var/cache/distfiles
Hope you find this meaningful.

Just note that NFSv4 likes to have bind mounts to another location, often /exports, such that all mounts are under a central location. NFSv3 can have them anywhere. |

FWIW, I use NFSv4 to export my distfiles and binpkgs from my desktop to my laptop for updates. (I used to do the same for the portage tree, but I download a squashfs image instead these days,)
Here's my /etc/exports:
| Code: | # /etc/exports: NFS file systems being exported. See exports(5).
/home -ro,no_subtree_check,fsid=root,async,crossmnt 192.168.1.0/24
/home/foo -ro,no_subtree_check,async 192.168.1.0/24
/home/distfiles -ro,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash 192.168.1.0/24
/home/binpkgs -ro,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash 192.168.1.0/24 |
I export everything under home so I can, if desired, make my home directories visible. The portage directories are bind mounted:
| Code: | # Bind mounts for nfs
/var/cache/distfiles /home/distfiles none bind,defaults 0 0
/var/cache/binpkgs /home/binpkgs none bind,defaults 0 0 |
and this is what exportfs says when nfs is running:
| Code: | /home 192.168.1.0/24
/home/foo 192.168.1.0/24
/home/distfiles 192.168.1.0/24
/home/binpkgs 192.168.1.0/24 |
As far as I recall, the client side fstab entries are:
| Code: | desktop:/distfiles /var/cache/distfiles nfs4 noauto,ro 0 0
desktop:/binpkgs /var/cache/binpkgs nfs4 noauto,ro 0 0 |
I set it up ages ago, so I don't recall why any of the settings are needed !
