mount of nfs4 export fails shows "reason given by server: No such file or directory" error.
Issue
- NFSv4 share details are as follows:
[root@NFS_Server ~ ]# cat /etc/exports
/exports *(rw,fsid=0,no_root_squash,sync)
- While trying to mount it on client system with "-t nfs4" getting following error:
[root@NFS_Client ~ ] # mount -v -t nfs4 <NFS_Server>:/exports /mnt
mount: pinging: prog 100003 vers 4 prot tcp port 2049
mount.nfs4: <NFS_Server>:/exports failed, reason given by server: No such file or directory
- Mounting with "-t nfs" instead of "-t nfs4" just works fine, but as per business requirements needs to make sure that only port 2049/tcp get's used which is possible with NFSv4. Hence, trying to mount it with NFSv4.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.7
- NFSv4
- 2049 access is allowed through iptables.
