I am trying to document the installation of nfs for Linux From Scratch.
The client works, but the server does not and I'm looking for some
help. If this is the wrong place to ask for help, please redirect me.

For now, I am only trying to get nfs version 3 to work.

# mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=3 lfs6:/home/bdubbs /mnt/test
   [ mounts OK ]
# mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=3 localhost:/usr/src /mnt/tmp
# mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported

Any pointers are appreciated. Details of the procedures I've used are below.

The packages I'm using:

linux-3.0.4
libtirpc-0.2.2
rpcbind-0.2.0
nfs-utils-1.2.5
glibc-2.14.1
util-linux-2.20

The build procedures were as follows:

1. Restore nfs/nis headers omitted by glibc-2.14.1
2. Build libtirpc
Remove auth_des.c authdes_prot.c des_crypt.c from Makefile Comment out authdes_create() in rpc_soc.c ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/lib
3. Build rpcbind
./configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=/sbin
Update /etc/services for rpcbind on port 111
4. Build nfs-utils

   LIBS=-lpthread ./configure --prefix=/usr     \
        --sysconfdir=/etc --disable-nfsv4 --disable-nfsv41  \
        --disable-gss

Start rpcbind
Start rpc.mountd
Run rpc.nfsd -p 2049 8
Start rpc.statd
Run exportfs -ra

/etc/exports has:
/usr/src 192.168.0.0/24(rw,async,no_root_squash,subtree_check)

rpcinfo -p gives:

It doesn't explain the error message you're getting, but your exports file doesn't have an entry for localhost. When I try this I get "mount.nfs:
access denied by server while mounting localhost:/usr/src".

2. Build libtirpc
Remove auth_des.c authdes_prot.c des_crypt.c from Makefile Comment out authdes_create() in rpc_soc.c ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/lib

This shouldn't be necessary. Instead of working around the problem, it would be nice if you could figure out why you needed to do this, and if there is a bug in the configure magic, let us know.

I added
/usr/src 127.0.0.0/8(rw,async,no_root_squash,subtree_check)

but still got 'requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported'. I suspect it has something to do with rpcbind not having nfsd registered on port 2049. At least rpcinfo doesn't know about it.

Which shouldn't be necessary? The change to the Makefile/rpc_soc.c files or the -prefix and --libdir options?

I just went back and rebuilt without the file changes and it built fine. I'm not sure what happened to change it, but it was definitely needed before. Sometimes when you are building a whole system from scratch, some assumed prereqs are not installed. I'll have to figure that out to get it right. I suspect it was because I originally didn't get the replacement of the rpc/nis headers that glibc now omits installed correctly.

Now I remember. Without the patch, other programs don't link. For example, rpcbind gives:

gcc -g -O2 -o rpcbind check_bound.o rpcbind.o rpcb_svc_4.o
rpcb_svc_com.o util.o pmap_svc.o rpcb_stat.o rpcb_svc.o security.o warmstart.o /lib/libtirpc.so -lnsl -lpthread -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/lib -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/lib

This is a glibc-2.14 and later issue.

As for the --prefix and --libdir options, we may not need the --prefix. Most packages install in /usr/local without it. The --libdir is to install in /lib instead of /usr/lib so the library is available if /usr is not mounted. Without the setting, we would have to move the files and also modify the libdir line in both libtirpc.la and libtirpc.pc.

The reason you getting the mounting error to localhost is because there are no NFS services registered with rpcbind. Note the lack of nfs entires in your rpcinfo -p output. For the above mount to work you would need at least the following entry:
100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs

Figure out why that is not happening and you find the problem...

In reply to Bruce Dubbs

Hi.

It looks to me as if /usr/src is only exported to hosts on the 192.168.0 network and not to hosts on the 127 network. Unless you alias localhost to the host address on the 192.168.0 network, then I don't think that this will work as you desire.

ps

I am trying to document the installation of nfs for Linux From Scratch. The client works, but the server does not and I'm looking for some help. If this is the wrong place to ask for help, please redirect me.

For now, I am only trying to get nfs version 3 to work.

# mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=3 lfs6:/home/bdubbs /mnt/test
   [ mounts OK ]
# mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=3 localhost:/usr/src /mnt/tmp
# mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported

The reason you getting the mounting error to localhost is because there are no NFS services registered with rpcbind. Note the lack of nfs entires in your rpcinfo -p output. For the above mount to work you would need at least the following entry:

100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs

Figure out why that is not happening and you find the problem...

Yes, I thought that might be the problem. The hard part is figuring out why. I am running 'rpc.nfsd -p 2049 8' and I would think that would do it, but it's not registering with rpcbind. The actual nfsd daemon is running in the kernel.

I looked at the nfsd.c source and nfsdfs is mounted in /proc correctly.
The threads seem to be started properly in nfssvc_threads() and there are no error messages either on the terminal or in syslog.

I'm just not familiar enough with the code to see where nfs is supposed to register with rpcbind. That's where I'm trying to get help. I suspect I've done something wrong with the build or configuration, but I don't see where. Is the kernel nfsd process supposed to register when it starts?

One other thing. When I try to mount the share from a remote (older) system, the error message is sightly different: "RPC Error: Program not registered", but I think that means the same thing as above.

I got it to work. I did a 'killall -HUP nfsd' and restarted 'rpc.nfsd -p 2049 8' and nfs showed up in rpcinfo and mount now works.

It must have been a sequence error on my part. Sorry for the noise.
