Environment: Local private network, Windows Server 2016 NFS clients, CentOS 7 NFS server nfsd (which seems to not be the source of a problem).
Situation: Several Windows hosts are connected to a shared resource hosted on a Linux host via NFS. Access itself is OK, but in case there were no requests to the mounted drive from Windows side, subsequent (or first after a Windows OS restart) access to t ...
I need to monitor an NFS mountpoint for changes (files written or created). I am running Linux (a RedHat variant to be precise). I also am a NetApp user (i.e., I don't have admin privileges on the NetApp box).
There are various filesystem monitoring packages out there, but I would prefer something that is known solid on RedHat and friends.
Something with python bindings is preferred.
Any ideas?
My team opted for a self build NFS server (using an EC2 instance to serve the other instances), instead of using AWS EFS. We would like to test the latency that our NFS has, then to compare it versus the EFS.
Is there a way/tool to test latency of these NFS servers?
I'm producing data (100GB files) that are finally copied to a server through NFS v4.2, on a 10Gb network. These files are stored on many HDDs, with XFS formatting (one copy per target drive).
When the copy tasks are running:
- There is a huge memory usage on the client (could be more than 64GB, it takes as much memory as it can).
- But almost no ram is used on the server.
I would like to reduce the memory u ...
I have a short script xcopy_recursive.bat which is literally:
xcopy /E /Y '%1' '%2'
an attempt to run it as follows:
xcopy_recursive.bat '\\nfs\dir' 'C:\destination'
results in
xcopy '\\nfs\dir' 'C:\destination'
File not found - dir
While if I copy echoed command xcopy '\\nfs\dir' 'C:\destination' and execute it directly from cmd it works just fine.
Any ideas what happens here?
I am running a Spectrum Scale filesystem on RHEL8 that is exported via NFSv3. The HA part is done by ctdb using 4 nodes (active-active), following this configuration guide by the samba/ctdb people: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_CTDB_for_Clustered_NFS.
In the nfs.conf there's a state-directory path for statd which points to a directory on the shared Spectrum Scale filesystem:

I'm on a problem and I hope for some help?
I have a server with 5 network interfaces. One is running PPPoE from a bridged modem and gets the external IP. I'm using firewalld and dnsmasq to share that connection to the other 4 ports and devices on my network, all works fine.
I am now trying to put a virtual machine on the host, using libvirt/KVM. That works, and I have created a machine with a 512MB ...
I am trying to get a remote root (and boot) NFS filesystem working correctly and I am hitting the limits of my knowledge. I wonder if someone can point me in the right direction.

Both TFTP and NFS are served from a Linksys WRT 1900 ACS router running OpenWRT 19.07. This device also has an external SSD which is used as an overlay root file system.
I feel a bit stupid to ask as it feels to me to be a very basic question, but anyway I haven't found a solution yet:
I have a Linux dataserver and several workstations that mount folders on this dataserver using NFS. The system is set up in a way that users have the same uids on both, server and workstations. There is no centralized user management, but the accounts are local accounts on the acco ...
We have an NFS server and our custom board which is our NFS Client. We are generating a log file as part of our custom application. This log file is getting generated in the root file system of the board(NFS client) immediately after the application execution. But however its taking about 30 seconds to get updated on the NFS server which is a high delay in our use case. In the NFS server I ran the comma ...
I'm running a Lubuntu QEMU VM under Bunsenlabs Lithium (Debian 10). I'm testing different ways to share folder with NFS. First created share was OK, but the host refused to share the second folder.

/Data/virtualization/KVMShare *(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)

My team has the task to build a plan in case the AZ that has the NFS instance fails. This NFS instance shares files with others machines (NFS clients) in others AZ (we use North of California).
We have to propose ideas. One we have is that, when the NFS instance AZ fails, disconnect it's hard drive and attach it to another instance in another AZ (all this using lambda) but with this we also have ...
The question is about the access and error logs, particularly with multiple hosts (apache instances installed on more than one server) and keeping the logs centrally on a network file system.
Does apache close each log file after every write?
If yes, on a busy server hosting many sites each with it's own log, that would seem to be a potential performance bottleneck?
If No, what is the solution when hav ...
I have a machine which acts as a NFS server, this machine shares files with others. Developers use the dev-user to upload files to the NFS server, but in the NFS client those files need to be owned by web-user, and devs don't have the credentials to log into the web servers everytime and do chown to those files. I want that everytime files are uploaded to the NFS client they are owned automaticall ...
I am trying to run a NFS server (nfs-kernel-server package) on a Ubuntu 20.04 machine and want to make it only acessible via VPN.
I have set the appropriate IP address in the /etc/exports file and my firewall.
Nevertheless, the rpc.mountd daemon is still listening on all interfaces (0.0.0.0 and ::). As a defense-in-depth measurement, I would like to restrict it further to only listen to connections on ...
I am the system administrator of an Arch Linux-based workstation. Our workstation uses Slurm as the load manager and consists of one master machine and 4 other computation nodes. In the past few months, we observe that processes on some nodes are stuck from time to time, and rebooting the node solves the problem. We found that the stuck processes are in state D (disk sleeping), but when we use top or ot ...
I have purchased a WD-Ex2 NAS and am trying to share a folder via nfs with my ubuntu machine.
This folder will be used only by this machine and I want to be able to have execute permissions with my user. I would like it to be treated as one more home folder.
I am mounting the folder as follows

I am having an issue where NFS is refusing to allow hosts that are specified in the config file to mount the share.
I am running an NFS server on Debian 10, BTRFS filesystem.
my /etc/exports reads:

I am trying to mount from host.domain.lan, but when I try to mount the share I get the following:

I am using KVM for VMs with LVM partitions. I ran out of space one of the VM(32G) and I decided to move the VM to another physical server and expand its disk(to 48G).
#Physical server with low disk space
sudo dd if=/dev/images/fooVM of=someNFSServer/fooVM.img (32GB)
#Physical server with high disk space

I have added the following to /etc/fstab, which I understood would automatically mount upon startup of the machine.
192.168.1.236:/volume1/Media /nfs/plex nfs auto,nofail,noatime,nolock,intr,tcp,actimeo=1800 0 0
However every time I reboot my server I have to run sudo mount -a in order to see anything in the /nfs/plex directory. Otherwise it is empty.
The network storage location (Synology NAS) was ...
Customer telling us that they see high %iowait in top and iostat output on a busy RHEL8 NFS client.
iostat man page clearly says that iowait is related to % of time kernel is waiting on "disk" I/O
Question - does NFS I/O count as "disk" I/O in %iowait calculations?
We suddenly had a "nobody" issue on NFSv4 mounts on SLES 12.5 machines.
The:
systemctl unmask nfs-idmapd.service
systemctl enable nfs-idmapd.service
systemctl restart nfs-idmapd.service
nfsidmap -c
solved it (+a correct /etc/idmapd.conf), but after a rebooot, we again have to start the idmapd service.
The question: How can we make the idmapd automatically start at boot?
UPDATE:

I am connecting NFS v3 shares (ZFS datasets) from a Solaris file server owned by domain users to Windows computers, but the concept should apply to basically any POSIX-style server. I'm hoping to find an intuitive way for permissions to persist across platforms, which can also apply to multiple users using the same client.
The Solaris server does not recognize the users' identity when mounting t ...
After zypper patch'ing NFS server on openSUSE Leap 15.2 to latest version and rebooting, nodes in kubernetes cluster (Openshift 4.5) can no longer mount NFS volumes.

I've got two RHEL 6 servers, one is an NFS server (we'll call it nfs-server, say its IP is 10.1.1.1), and the other is a generic client for all intents and purposes (we'll call it nfs-client, say its IP is 10.0.0.1).
Both nfs-server and nfs-client are connected to the same centralised authentication system, so UIDs/GIDs are the same for a given user.
nfs-client is mounting an NFSv3 share from nfs-serve ...
We're currently transitioning to storing all of our organization's user information in Red Hat IDM (FreeIPA). We have several thousand users, and mount user home directories over NFS from a NetApp filer. On the filer, home directories are stored in 50+ subdirectories spread across more than a dozen volumes depending on their account type & organizational role.
We would like to change where we ...
I don't know why this code is not working under NFS4, using NFS3 works perfectly. The idea is to avoid the file being written while a process is still reading it.
I would like to debug, but our sys-admin is not able to. Which could be reason. Under our NFS4-Installation I always get into this condition
if ( flock(fp,LOCK_EX) == -1)
printf("Error: file %s is already locked\n", fileName); ...
I'm currently learning Docker and just migrated to an Ubuntu 20.04.2 VM running in VMware workstation player as my Raspberry Pi 2 running Debian 9 has kicked the bucket.
