NFS: mount program didn't pass remote address!
Hi,
I have been trying to mount
1) from my ARM target board running busybox on
a NFS mounted buildroot root filesystem to
2) a VMWARE SUSE Linux (192.168.0.6) and have been getting the error:
target % mount -t nfs -o nolock,nfsvers=2 192.168.0.6:/tftpboot /mnt/QTOPIA
NFS: mount program didn't pass remote address!
mount: Mounting 192.168.0.6:/tftpboot on /mnt/QTOPIA failed: Invalid argument
Using "rpcinfo -p" I can determined that the SUSE Linux is running NFS version 2. I can mount the VMWARE SUSE linux directory on every other Linux machine that I have. Note: that the target board kernel can NFS mount the root filesystem from SUSE linux.
I. I cross-compiled nfs-utils for ARM and from the nfs-utils on
the target can run showmount on the ARM target and the exported filesystems from the SUSE linux can
be seen on the target board. This leads me
to believe the problem is the busybox mount program.
II. I've searched the web and I did find the email
in the BusyBox archives from April 1, 2005 with the same problem whose resolution was:
>To compile the package portmap with my toolchain I had to enable
full RPC
>support in uClibc. After doing this and following the instructions
below

III. I looked in the toolchain_build_arm/uClibc directory
in buildroot and ran "make menuconfig" and in the Networking section the following are selected:
[*] Remote Procedure Call (RPC) support
[*] Full RPC support
[*] Reentrant RPC support
IV. I have the following running on the target :
portmap
rpc.statd
rpc.lockd
rpc.mountd
IV. I am using a snapshot of uClibc from August 22 and the
Busybox version is revision 15756.
Do anyone have any suggestions? I am running wireshark and can see that the NFS Call/Replies never complete for the busybox mount command whereas the NFS Call/Replies for the nfs-utils/showmount complete and transition into the normal MOUNT protocol commands.
Any pointers would be appeciated. Thanks,
Jim
