[Gary Kulovics]

Am trying to image a new laptop and when I get to Mounting File system its fails get the following error
Mounting 10.39.xxx.xxx:/images/on/images failed:Protocol not supported

Am running Centos 7.5

The mount point it’s trying to get to has NFS running?

[Gary Kulovics]

Restarted the NFS server. Thanks for the input, needed a push in the right direction

Thanks Gary

[CODE]systemctl restart nfs[/CODE]

if that doesn’t work, it might be this:
[CODE]systemctl restart nfs-server[/CODE]

You could also try this:
[CODE]service nfs restart
service nfs-server restart[/CODE]

service nfs restart

Also, to prevent this issue in the future, you should enable nfs on boot:

[CODE]systemctl enable nfs
systemctl enable nfs-server
service nfs enable
service nfs-server enable[/CODE]

can you ask for faster service?

No way, no how.

Hi Tom
Have started the service but still getting this error any ideas

Can you mount that dir from another machine?

sudo mount 10.39.xxx.xxx:/images/

Double check your firewall, nfs service, and permissions

The article is still a bit rough around the edges, but I consider it a living document… I’m always changing them, adding stuff, rephrasing things to be more clear, etc.

When trying to mount drive @10.39.xxx.xxx I get the following error

mount: can’t find 10.39.200.200:/images/ in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

Thanks

@Gary-Kulovics

sudo mount 10.39.xxx.xxx:/images/ /images

The reason for the fstab error is because it didn’t have a place to be mounted to. (the /images part with out the colon)

If the argument isn’t setup properly, it scans for fstab to try automating mount point for you. If it can’t find it you get that error.
