NFS mount on LE12.0

meirick · May 26, 2024 at 12:46 PM

Hello,

I have updated my RockPi4 by fresh install to LE12.0.

My previous setting on LE11.6 was worked verywell, so I desided to keep the same config files for the LE12.0.

See below my storage-backup.mount file

Code

[Unit]
#NFS mount
Description=test nfs mount script
Requires=network-online.service
After=network-online.service
Before=kodi.service

[Mount]
#NFS mount
What=172.25.2.60:/mnt/Backup/Kodi/RockPi4
Where=/storage/backup
Options=
Type=nfs

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

But that don't work. See the result of systemctl status storage-backup.mount

Code

Thank you for your help.

Defaults may have changed, there is a different kernel in LE12 and now using mount.nfs instead of busybox mount.

Try from command line for faster testing turn around times:

Code

mount -t nfs 172.25.2.60:/mnt/Backup/Kodi/RockPi4 /storage/backup

This should fail too. Then start with setting NFSV3:

Code

mount -t nfs -o vers=3 172.25.2.60:/mnt/Backup/Kodi/RockPi4 /storage/backup

Hello,

I use the below command, otherwise I have a message that "rpc.statd "is not running.

mount -t nfs -o vers=3 -o nolock 172.25.2.60:/mnt/Backup/Kodi/RockPi4 /storage/backup

it's working untill the system reboot.

How to have a permanant mount point? The fstab is "read-only file system"

Create a systemd .mount file; see the example in /storage/.config/system.d/

Hello Chewitt,

OK I understood my mistake.

I had the line Options=nolock

With this storage-backup.mount file, it is ok.

Code

[Unit]
#NFS mount
Description=test nfs mount script
Requires=network-online.service
After=network-online.service
Before=kodi.service


[Mount]
#NFS mount
What=172.25.2.60:/mnt/Backup/Kodi/RockPi4
Where=/storage/backup
Options=nolock
Type=nfs


[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Thank you
