I want to speed up migrating from ESXi to Proxmox. I created a 14TB ZFS raid called tank on proxmox.

Then did: apt-get install nfs-common nfs-kernel-server.
In /etc/exports I added the line: /tank 10.25.10.0/255.255.255.0(rw)
Unmasked nfs-common and started it and temporarily disabled the firewall.

Still can't mount as NFS3. It say's the server refused it.

Any ideas? Exports will take forever.
 
I just tried this and it worked without much configuration. Did you follow something like this guide?

Could you try something like this?
Code:
showmount -e localhost # on the nfs server
showmount -e 10.25.10.0 # from somewhere else
mkdir nfstest
mount -v -t nfs -o vers=3 10.25.10.0:/tank ~/nfstest

Still can't mount as NFS3. It say's the server refused it.
In the PVE GUI?
 
I used another guide I found online for running NFS from proxmox. The error I got was from VMWare. Two of my raid drives are failing on my ZFS raid so I need to replace them first.
