M3B1 - NFS is broken

[Lebarhon]

Hello,
NFS was working fine with my first M3B1 installation, but for some reason, I re-installed it and NFS is no more working.
I can see the shared partitions from the server in the MCC, if I select one and click on "Mount" the answer is " Mounting partition linux:/home/samageia/Documents in directory /mnt/documents failed"
In a konsole:

Code: Select all

# mount -a -f nfs
mount.nfs: Failed to resolve server linux: system error

Firewall is totally disabled and network-auth is running.

Code: Select all

[root@localhost ~]# journalctl -n

what does showmount -e servername show.

maybe portmap is not running

Hello Peter,

Code: Select all

[root@localhost ~]# showmount -e
Export list for localhost.localdomain:
/home/samageia/Documents 192.168.0.0/24
/home/samageia           192.168.0.0/24

I can't see portmap anywhere, neither on the server nor the client. I suppose it is a system service ?

I resolved my problem. I didn't change my server name

Code: Select all

[root@localhost ~]# hostname
localhost.localdomain
[root@localhost ~]#

However, the shared folder was exported that way :

Code: Select all

linux:/home/samageia/Documents /mnt/Documents nfs

and this automatic name "linux" can't be resolved. So in the file /etc/fstab, I replaced "linux" by the IP address and it works.
Where does this "linux" come from ? and why NFS can't resolve it ?
Is that a bug ?
