Proxmox node: can't mount NFS share

[MikeC]

Hello. I need to mount an NFS share on the node so I can restore a backup. I noticed I can't get nfs-common services running as they're masked in /lib/systemd/system.
How would I enable NFS mounting at the node level?

root@proxmox3:~# mount livespare:/liveshare /mnt2
mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported

I add NFS share from Proxmox GUI:
Navigate to 'Datacenter/Storage/Add/NFS'

ID: <name for share>

Server: <IP address for NFS share>

Export: <path to folder on NFS share>

Content: <choose what is allowed to be stored>

Nodes: All

Enable: yes

Thanks! tried that out, but got a permissions error:

create storage failed: error with cfs lock 'file-storage_cfg': mkdir /mnt/pve/Livespare/images: Permission denied at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage/Plugin.pm line 954. (500)

This is really strange. When I try to create the NFS storage-whatever, I get that mkdir error, but the OS actually mounts the share in /mnt/pve/.

did you specify the correct NFS version? Are the permissions configured correctly?

Please share the output of pveversion -v, your /etc/pve/storage.cfg and the exact error message (might also be worth checking /var/log/syslog for additional information).

Thank you for the quick response.
I wasn't able to fix this.

What worked for me was installing nfs-kernel-server from scratch inside an existing VM.
