Title: Mount NFS Permission Denied.... TS Pro2
Post by: drrole on December 07, 2009, 07:54:01 AM
   

Hello,

 

I just bought a couple of Terastation Pro 2's to use for storage for Unix/Linux via NFS in a mixed windows/unix environment.  Problem is, i can not mount the NFS directories.  It returns a permission denied error.  I have NFS set up on the TS.  The NFS network address points to the terastation IP address, the client is registered, AD is all set up and I generated a new keytab file so as I can see the NAS.

 

Here is the command that it is failing on.

 

mount 172.26.130.61:/mnt/array1/home_dirs /mnt
mount: 172.26.130.61:/mnt/array1/home_dirs failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

 

Firmware 1.33

Model: TS-H0,0TGL/R5

 

I have been trying to get this to work for days...literally.... but I keep getting the same error.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

If more info is needed, just let me know.

 

Thanks

 

Rob

I'm having the same problem with two new TeraStation TS-X4.0TL/R5 v1.10 models.

I have looked in the syslog output and don't see any error messages related to NFS or permissions.

I can see the exports via the "showmount -e" command on the NFS client side.

I have also added the NFS client's short hostname and IP address into the "NFS Client Setup" tab on the Buffalo TeraStation.

 

Not sure where to look further. I'm sure it has something to do with root/anonymous permission priviledges, but can't quite figure it out.

Taken from the User Manual ver 2.3

 

This is what I needed to fix my problem. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.2.

I tried using an Ubuntu LiveCD etc. Permission denied on both OS'es.

 

 

NFS

With NFS enabled, you can access a shared

folder on the TeraStation from an NFS client.

NFS is disabled by default. To enable it, navigate

to Network/NFS and open Network Service.

Click Modify Settings. Enable NFS, enter the

TeraStation's network base address and subnet

mask, and then click Save. Examples: If the

TeraStation's IP address is 192.168.1.150 and

the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, then the

network base address would be 192.168.1.0.

If the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0, then the

network base address would be 192.168.0.0.


In NFS Folders Setup, click on the name of your share. Click Enable and then Save.

In NFS Client Setup, click Add Client. Enter the IP address and subnet mask of your client and click

Save. Repeat for each client that you want to allow to connect with NFS.

To access the TeraStation through NFS using Windows Services for Unix 3.5, the command will be

mount 192.168.1.150:/mnt/array1/share z:, where "192.168.1.150" is the TeraStation's IP address,

"/mnt/array1/share" is the NFS publishing path, and "z" is an unused network drive letter. For an

OS X Mac, the command would be mount -t nfs 192.168.1.150:/mnt/array1/share /Volumes. Other

NFS compatible operating systems use different commands to access an NFS share. Consult your

OS's documentation for more information about connecting to an NFS share.
