How to add NFS with username Proxmox 4.3?

[nharmando]

Hello people

I have a Lenovo ix4-300d and I've shared a folder to use NFS with some level of security with user and password, but I can't connect it from my proxmoo 4.3.

How can I add that shared storage with user and password?

I know how to add an NFS with proxmox but I don't know how to set username and password.

It has an username and password beacause the IP of NFS can access fron another computers in the same network and I need to protect the folder of NFS proxmox.

Hi,

you can add this in the storage.cfg on the nfs option string

username=foo,password=bar

Hello wolfgang,

Thank's a lot for your response.

I have this in the storage.cfg:

nfs: virtual-disk
path /mnt/pve/virtual-disk
server 160.150.2.120
export /nfs/virtual-disk
username=user,password=Test123
options vers=3
content images
nodes proxmox2,proxmox3,proxmox1
maxfiles 1

But when I try to display the content in my shared storage I got the error virtual-disk' - directory '/mnt/pve/virtual-disk' does not exist (500)

Only works if the shared storage got the 777 permision but with username and password doesn't work.

Could you help me please?

there may be some cleanup to do from 1ST attempts.

on all 3 nodes try

umount /mnt/pve/virtual-disk

if not ok try

umount -l /mnt/pve/virtual-disk

then pve will try to mount again.

Hello RobFantini,

Thank's for your help

That's work only when I get the 777 permision to the folder in my NAS. But when I create a user with password It doesn't work, I have another users in my network but I need to restric the acces of the proxmox's folder in my nas only to one user, that's why I trying to acces from proxmox to my nas with username and password but it doesn't mount the shared storage

Regards

I see what you mean.

pve seems to change perms to 777 on the NFS/SAN .

with 777 are you able to mount with password?

Exactly, when I get the 777 perms in NFS is posible to mount without username and password too.

But to security, I got one user in NFS with perms to the folder no anyone more, but when I try to mount the shared folder with that username in proxmox doesn't work

The problem is that qemu will always write as root.
So you have to options set all_squash and set the anonuid and anomgid
or use no_root_squash in exports file

Hello wolfgang,

thank's so much for your help!!

I've set all_squash and it works!! I didn't know that about qemu.

Best regards!!
