Hello,

I got a small cluster at home with two Proxmox 5.2 nodes. They are connected via 1GB/s LAN.
On node 1 I installed nfs-kernel-server and tried to share a simple test folder.

1) When I use showmount on node 2 as root to display shares on node 1 the results are correct, but it take minutes to complete the request.

2) When I use showmount on my regular PC (same LAN) as a normal user (not SUDO) the correct results appear in less than a second. When I try the same thing as root it takes minutes to complete.

3) When I try to mount a share from node 1 to node 2 I get a timeout.

Code:
root@pve-node-02:/mnt# mount -vvv pve-node-01:/test/share /mnt/Test/
mount.nfs: timeout set for Sat May 19 12:58:37 2018
mount.nfs: trying text-based options 'vers=4.2,addr=192.168.178.100,clientaddr=192.168.178.101'
mount.nfs: mount(2): Connection timed out
mount.nfs: Connection timed out

Any ideas? I try to figure out what the problem is for two days now.
Thanks for your help!

UPDATE: I replaced my managed Cisco switch with a cheaper one with no web interface and control stuff and everything works fine. Any idea what kind of option I need to turn on or off in den Cisco switch to get the same behaviour as with the cheap one?

Hi,

it is hard to say what is wrong but I would sniff packages on the NFS server to see what you get and what you send.
