Hi,

i'm trying to create a NFS directory in one of my vm openvz to create the backups in a secondary hard drive in the same server.
http://wiki.openvz.org/NFS

Note:
- @cloud is Proxmox
- @shared is vm centos + cpanel


Seems in Proxmox all is Ok

Code:
root@cloud:/dev-sata2# ps ax |grep portmap
 2189 ?        Ss     0:00 /sbin/portmap
27189 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep portmap
root@cloud:/dev-sata2# showmount -e
portmap getport: RPC: Success
root@cloud:/dev-sata2# ps ax |grep auto
27853 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep auto
And I created the folder in Proxmox (the secondary hard drive)

Code:
root@cloud:/# cd dev-sata2/
root@cloud:/dev-sata2# mkdir cpanel-backup
root@cloud:/dev-sata2# cd cpanel-backup/
root@cloud:/dev-sata2/cpanel-backup# pwd
/dev-sata2/cpanel-backup
root@cloud:/dev-sata2/cpanel-backup# modprobe nfs
root@cloud:/dev-sata2/cpanel-backup# vzctl exec 102 cat /proc/filesystems
        ext3
nodev   sysfs
nodev   proc
nodev   tmpfs
nodev   devpts
nodev   rpc_pipefs
nodev   nfs
root@cloud:/dev-sata2/cpanel-backup#
Then I activated NFS in the vm and created the remote directory

Code:
root@cloud:/dev-sata2#  vzctl set 102 --features "nfs:on" --save
Saved parameters for CT 102
root@cloud:/dev-sata2#
root@cloud:/dev-sata2# vzctl enter 102
entered into CT 102
root@shared [/backup]# mkdir remote
root@shared [/backup]# cd remote/
But when I try to connect, i get this error:

Code:
root@shared [/backup/remote]# mount -t nfs PROXMOX-IP:/dev-sata2/cpanel-backup /backup/remote
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on PROXMOX-IP:/dev-sata2/cpanel-backup,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so
dmesg is empty, is a clean centos vm and in /var/log/messages and /var/log/secure, there are not any reference about any NFS connection... :confused:

Any idea??
Thanks!!
