Cannot create NFS4 storage via web interface

[taspenatu]

Hi all,

the NFS version 3 is hard coded in /usr/share/pve-manager/ext4/pvemanagerlib.js (line 14006, Version 2.1-1/f9b0f63a).

            // hack: for now we always create nvf v3
            // fixme: make this configurable
            values.options = 'vers=3';

Therefore it's impossible to create a NFS4 storage via the web interface.
pvesh doesn't use a default version.

Are there any special reasons for this and how can I use the defaults from /etc/nfsmount.conf when I create a NFS storage via web interface?


Many thanks
Frank

Many users reported problems with NFS4.

The plan is to add those settings to the GUI, but it is currently not implemented.

Unfortunately the behaviour of the web interface is not consistent with the API2.
PVE should support either NFS3 only or let the user decide which version to use.

Or is it a kind of hidden option for super users?



Many thanks

That is simply not implemented - feel free to provide a patch.

Ok I have a patch.
To whom can I send it?

I would love to have the patch! I have tried to implement a NFSv4 active/passive cluster service on my Proxmox 2.1 host's for ISO storage but the GUI is not able to use it, probably because it is NFSv3 only. You seem to have the missing link

I've sent the patch to pve-devel.

As a workaround you can disable the line containing "vers=3" in /usr/share/pve-manager/ext4/pvemanagerlib.js
and create /etc/nfsmount.conf

[ NFSMount_Global_Options ]
        vers=4

Or use the pvesh command

create /storage -storage <storageid> -type nfs -export <nfs export> -server <freenas server> -path /mnt/pve/<storageid> -options vers=4
