n900 as a nfs server??

can i use my n900 as a nfs server? how?

Re: n900 as a nfs server??

Hmm. I do not know current sitsuation with samba, but you can install openssh server to your n900.

Re: n900 as a nfs server??

hmm , openssh doesn't work with my neutrino...
:(

Re: n900 as a nfs server??

On N900: apt-get install unfs3

On Ubuntu PC: apt-get install nfs-common

On N900, edit /etc/exports and add this line:
/ 192.168.5.11(rw,no_root_squash)

(note: change the "allowed IP address" field with your Ubuntu IP address, use "rw" for read/write or "ro" for read-only)

On N900, start the daemon:
/etc/init.d/unfs3 start

On Ubuntu PC, you can now mount the root directory on the IP address of the N900 (change the IP accordingly):
sudo mount.nfs 192.168.5.7:/ /mnt
ls -al /mnt/home/user/MyDocs/DCIM

And pronto! -it works.

Note: my N900 and my Ubuntu PC both use fixed IP addresses (that "192.168.5.7" is my N900 fixed address).

NFS, not samba good sir. :-)

The answer is still yes though. Alfmar summed it up nicely.

Re: n900 as a nfs server??

Hi @all,

I was also intrested in using nfs on my n900. I tried to make it like alfmar has descripted it. But something goes wrong.
Probably I got a complete Blackout (Don't seeing the forest because of the many trees) :confused:

PC with Ubuntu 9.10 (IP: 192.168.1.200)
N900 (IP: 192.168.1.13)
I've installed unfs3 like descripted above. Starting, restarting and stopping of /etc/init.d/unfs3 is no problem.
/etc/exports on N900 looks like following (First I tried /home/user/MyDocs/downloads but I decided to make it exactly like the description in this thread):

Code:

/ 192.168.1.200(rw,no_root_squash)

By mounting with sudo mount.nfs 192.168.1.13:/ /mnt follows an error message:

Code:

mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.1.13:/

I also tried to modify /etc/hosts by adding

Code:

192.168.1.200 media

But no result.

To see, if nfs is running I made this:

Code:

media@media:~$ rpcinfo -p 192.168.1.13

    100005    3   udp  51989  mountd

    100005    3   tcp  41052  mountd

This looked ok to me...

I also tried to edit a /etc/hosts.deny and a /etc/hosts.allow although it was not descripted or documented. I'm really despaired. I'm sure it cannot be a big thing.

Does anyone has an idea?
Thanks a lot in advance!

I'm sorry if I should have made a new Thread for this.

Greetings,...

Re: n900 as a nfs server??

OK...
Meanwhile I changed on my PC the Ubuntu Version to 10.04 and I tried mounting it on a Netbook.
On this Netbook there's installed Ubuntu 10.04 too. It worked fine. No Problems.
Trying to do the same on my N900, and I got the same error message as before (...access denied by server while mounting...).
Portmapper runs; unfs3 runs...

rpcinfo -p on n900 with this result:

Code:

   program vers proto   port

    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper

    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper

    100003    3   udp   2049  nfs

    100003    3   tcp   2049  nfs

    100005    1   udp  2049  mountd

    100005    3   udp  2049  mountd

    100005    1   tcp  2049  mountd

    100005    3   tcp  2049  mountd

At last I added the option 'insecure' to my /etc/exports because of using ports higher than 1024. But still no success. :(

If anybody has an idea... please let me know. Thank you very much!

Greetings, and a happy new year!
