Loss off network shares on 8.2

[Tim Curtis]

@Tim Curtis

An easier check of the active exports on an NFS server is sudo exportfs

For example, on my moOde 8.2.0 player with NFS server enabled and exporting a USB stick labeled RALLY8GB

Code:

pi@m82arm64:~ $ sudo exportfs
/media/RALLY8GB
        <world>

Note, this is with the "default" Access setting. If I set Access to just my entire LAN, then instead of <world> one sees what I set: 10.0.0.0/24.

1) It's a very bad idea to open port 2049 at your firewall, e.g., your router. This leaves you open to attacks from the outside world. The Internet is under siege by bad guys running what are called "port knocker" programs.

2) if you have enabled NFS file-sharing in System Config on your host moodeNAS then it should have port 2049 open even if you do not have any exportable USB storage devices connected. There's something not right here since you report

Code:

Host: 192.168.1.17 (moodenas.home)      Ports: 2049/closed/tcp//nfs///

3) you do not have to enable NFS file-sharing on your host moodeEND. It's a server setting, not a client setting.

@TheOldPresbyope, the showmount command is run on the client while exportfs would be run on the server.

To verify the server is working check its status via systemd.

Code:

systemctl status nfs-server
