mount error: No such file or directory (500)

[jerim]

First, let me say that I switched over from working with some other cloud platform and I have found Proxmox miles ahead in terms of ease of use and features.

I am having one slight problem though. I have a two storage servers that I have set up in a cluster. I followed this guide exactly: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HighlyAvailableNFS

I went to mount my NFS using 10.89.99.30. Proxmox automatically sees my NFS share and I select it from the drop down menu. After it is added, I go to view the contents on the storage and it keeps saying:

mount error: No such file or directory (500)
​

So just to be sure, I went into one of my Proxmox boxes and issued the mount command manually:

mount -t nfs 10.89.99.30:/Storage/export /Storage
​

The NFS share was mounted with no issues and doing "df -h /Storage" indicated that it showed up with the correct disk size. It seems like the Proxmox software is having a hard time recognizing that the storage is attached? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I noticed that Proxmox was mounting the NFS share to /mnt/pve/Storage, so I tried doing it manually on one of my nodes using the 'mount -v -o 'vers=3' 10.89.99.30:/Storage/export /mnt/pve/Storage" command:

mount: no type was given - I'll assume nfs because of the colon
mount.nfs: timeout set for Sat May 26 01:40:38 2012
mount.nfs: trying text-based options 'vers=3,addr=10.89.99.30'
mount.nfs: prog 100003, trying vers=3, prot=6
mount.nfs: trying 10.89.99.30 prog 100003 vers 3 prot TCP port 2049
mount.nfs: prog 100005, trying vers=3, prot=17
mount.nfs: trying 10.89.99.30 prog 100005 vers 3 prot UDP port 44253
mount.nfs: mount(2): Permission denied
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 10.89.99.30:/Storage/export

​

My /etc/exports file looks like this:

/Server/export *(rw,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)

​

I can see the NFS share using 'showmount -e 10.89.99.30' from my Proxmox node:

Export list for 10.89.99.30:
/Server/export *​

There is nothing in my /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow files. I have verified nfs-kernel-server is up and running using 'service nfs-kernel-server status' on NFS server.

Hi,
i use "ip.of.proxmox.host(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)" in exports without trouble.

Thanks for the reply. It was my own stupid mistake. The /etc/export file on my storage servers was using /Server/export instead of /Storage/export. Once I got that corrected, everything was fine.
