Have to image 8 labs by Monday

[Tyler Wright]

Hello,

I’ve been posting a lot recently and I apologize but I am running out of time.

My latest issue is that whenever I attempt to upload an image, I get:
“RPC remote system error connection refused” and something similar to NFS share could no be mounted.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?

Thanks!

I’d check your server and make sure NFS server is running.

Check your /etc/exports file to make sure it’s enabling the NFS Share to the correct shares.

NFS requires RPCBind to operate, so check that rpcbind service is running then make sure nfs server is running and/or can be started.

[Tyler Wright]

NFS appears to be running.

My /etc/exports look like this:
/images *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)
/images/dev *(rw,sync,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure)

I just tried to run rpcbind and come to find out, it was not installed.

I just did a quick sudo apt-get install rpcbind. Let’s see if that worked!

[Tom Elliott]

Don’t forget to restart the nfs services.

[Tyler Wright]

Unfortunately, that did not work either. I still get the same error.

[Tyler Wright]

as its status. When I attempt to start it, it does not startup.

[Tom Elliott]

make sure both nfs and rpcbind are set to start on boot. Then I’d say try restarting the server, see if that helps you out at all.

[Tyler Wright]

I set them to start on boot yet I still cannot start nfs-kernel-server.

[Tyler Wright]

I just did apt-get install nfs-kernel-manager and it installed (again maybe?). It got stuck on this error:

exportfs: /etc/exports [1]: Neither ‘subtree_check’ or ‘no_subtree_check’ specified for export “*:/images”.

[Tom Elliott]

try
apt-get install rpcbind nfs-kernel-server
or
apt-get reinstall rpcbind nfs-kernel-server

I don’t remember ubuntu’s method of on boot startup, I think it’s update-rc

Interesting…when I run apt-get install rpcbind nfs-kernel-server, I get “rpcbind: Conflicts: portmap E: Broken packages.”

[Tom Elliott]

try removing rpcbind and nfs-kernel-server
then try to have apt install them

I don’t know what else to work on then.

[Tyler Wright]

Yeah, I remove and then try to install them; I get this:

nfs-kernel -server: Depends: nfs-common (>= 1:1.0.1-1) but it is not going to be installed

I then try to install nfs-common and that conflicts with portmap.

I’m lost. I’ve even tries reinstalling Fog itself with no luck.

[Tom Elliott]

try this:

apt-get remove portmap;
apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common

I get nfs-common: Depends: portmap (> 6.0.0-1ubutnu2.1) E: Broken packages when I try to install all of those things.

[Tom Elliott]

Looking into this further, try removing rpcbind and just:

apt-get install nfs-common nfs-kernel-server portmap

[Tyler Wright]

It gets stuck at “Starting NFS kernel daemon.”

Before that, it says:

exportfs: /etc/exports [1]: Neither ‘subtree_check’ or ‘no_subtree_check’ specified for export “:/images" exportfs: /etc/exports [2]: Neither ‘subtree_check’ or ‘no_subtree_check’ specified for export ":/images/dev”

[Tyler Wright]

I just added another storage node and when I PXE boot, it attempts to mount it but still ends up with the RPC connection refused error.
