Mount NFS manually

NFS Documentation http://linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

Errors

Let's review some errors that you can get on the client side and how to fix them.

No such device

If you get "mount.nfs: No such device" error, then do the following test

$ uname -a
$ pacman -Q linux

If the outputs don't match, then you should reboot to apply the last kernel update

Connection refused

If you get "connection refused" error while mounting NFS, then first check if you have rpcbind installed (https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/64916/78773)

Tools for debugging

• nfstrace (`sudo nfstrace -i eno1`)

• nfswatch (`sudo nfswatch -dev eno1`)

Troubleshooting

1. if rpc calls are making it to the server processes. you should see nfs and mountd

$ rpcinfo -p 192.168.3.13 | cut -c30- | sort -u
 mountd
 nfs
 nfs_acl
 nlockmgr
 portmapper
 service

check mountd

$ rpcinfo -u 192.168.3.13 mountd
program 100005 version 1 ready and waiting
program 100005 version 2 ready and waiting
program 100005 version 3 ready and waiting

This will eliminate firewall configuration problems.

2. Then check that volumes are exported

$ showmount -e 192.168.3.13
Export list for 192.168.3.13:
/tftpboot 192.168.3.0/24
