I have several proxmox servers. One of them has really big hdds, and I want to use it as a nfs storage for others. However, almost all space is allocated to /var/lib/vz partition. So I created /var/lib/vz/nfs folder and tried to export it through nfs, but got "exportfs: Warning: /var/lib/vz/nfs does not support NFS export." What do I do to resolve it?
Proxmox version is 1.5 latest.
 
just tried, works here (1.5 with 2.6.18).
 
I just did a fresh install (1.5 with 2.6.18) and had the same error that Burn had.

However, installing unfs as an extra step worked around the problem

apt-get install unfs3

thanks for the instructions!
 
I ended up rearranging LVM. Split /var/lib/vz into 2 parts and exported one of them, that worked fine
 
NEW:
I got it to work using unfs3 . I'm still testing trying to figure out why it was not working before.... there were some nfsd processes around .... will be testing and i'll post more info later.


OLD:
I can confirm the same problem.

I can export other folders, but not the one using vz or qm . I do not know why.

Tried using unfs3 and got this error on client end:
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 10.100.100.10:/data

Using nfs-kernel-server , when 'exportfs -a' runs I get :
exportfs: Warning: /data does not support NFS export.

can export other directories with out a problem.

I think the problem we had may have been due to nfsd processes running , even though we had stopped the server. this is related to stuck bind mounts I think.

So you setup nfs - try with vz , qemu-server , and nfs-kernel-server [ or unfs3 ] shutdown [/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server stop ]

then check for any stuck nfsd processes with
ps -ef | grep nfsd

if there are any run
killall -9 nfsd
