Have to image 8 labs by Monday

[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

This post is deleted!

[Tyler Wright]

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.

[Tom Elliott]

Looked up the issue and found a page with similar issues as yours:

[url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/fog-32-on-ubuntu-11-10-unable-to-upload-image.852/[/url]

It sounds like nfs-kernel-server is having issue actually mounting. One issue I ran into on my setup was RPC, but I’m running centos which is redhat based. I just installed rpcbind and had to add fsid=1 to images and fsid=2 to images/dev so my exports looks like:

/images *(rw,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=1)
/images/dev *(rw,sync,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=2)

[Tyler Wright]

Alright. I’ll try to modify my exports file in a second.

What’s interesting is that the NFS share mounts perfectly fine through an NFS client on Windows. I don’t know why PXE can’t get to it.
