NFS Connection Refused.

[matonb]

you wont belive this.
They already were both UID 1001

Oh

If the ID's match there shouldn't be a problem.

Have a dig through your logs / google to see what the problem / issue is starting the nfs daemon.

Starting NFS Daemon [!!]

That might shed some more light on the situation

[RobinVossen]

well rebooted the Boxes.
Started from the start.
Again I cant connect.. I still have the Starting NFS Daemon with !!
I did check the passwd file for UIDs. both the users are 1001 on their box.
I have NO idea what is going wrong here.
I did check the /var/log dir.
But nothing that looks like NFS logs.

• Xorg.0.log
• dmesg
• emerge.log
• lastlog
• wtmp
• portage/
• sandbox/
• news/
• cups/

I did read them all.

Since I dont get extra info from Linux I cant really do anything.. Well does anyone else have a idea?

Cheers,
Robin

edit:
Ok, I made a hosts.allow file saying:

portmap: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
lockd: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
rquotad: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
mountd: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
statd: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0

Doesnt work Either..

[matonb]

One other idea, is portmap running ?

DOH, didn't read the end of your last post!

[matonb]

Mind you, your post says your not blocking the port, not whether or not portmap is running



Your running gentoo if I remember?

[RobinVossen]

This is Gentoo indeed on OpenVZ (like already said before)
there ISNT anykind of Iptables or other firewall/port/serviceblocker on this system.

I tryed to mount with:

mount -t nfs 192.168.1.11:/home/john /home/_sxb

No luck..

Edit:

I found:

The reason is that these daemons check the major number of the device where the directory to export resides. If major equals 0 then daemons assume that it is NFS and don't want to re-export it. Symptoms are that clients will always get a "permission denied" error. Simfs (the file system on which VE is located) is associated with so called unnamed device, in which major equals 0. So, to prevent daemons from checking for re-exporting — just use this -r option.

But that doesnt really help me either.

I just mounted one of my exports onto a home directory to see if it was something to do with /homes. It worked no drama, I did execute mount as root though.

(RHEL4 AS servers)

[matonb]

Don't know if this will help:

NFS server inside VE - OpenVZ Wiki

[RobinVossen]

I did execute the mount commands as root aswell.
I did read that thing. I also did all the commands in there.
I did spread the Quesion over the net now. Since this is really un-normal.
The Topic is also on the OpenVZ forum and also on the gentoo Forums..

Robin
