mount of nfs4 export fails shows "reason given by server: No such file or directory" error.

Solution Verified - Updated -

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, 6, 7, 8, 9
  • NFSv4
  • 2049 access is allowed through iptables.
