NFS is enabled and stopped

I’m trying to get NFS working on my Drobo5N, running the 3.5.6 firmware.

I’ve installed nfs-1.3.2-2 from:

https://github.com/droboports/nfs/releases

I’ve added the following to my exports

Drobo5N:/mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/nfs $ cat etc/exports /mnt/DroboFS/Shares/Media 10.0.0.3(ro,insecure,no_subtree_check,all_squash,anonuid=99,anongid=99) Drobo5N:/mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/nfs $

I then reload the configure with:

$ sudo ./service.sh reload

but I am unable to mount the share and

Drobo5N:/mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/nfs $ sudo ./service.sh status nfs is enabled and stopped Drobo5N:/mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/nfs $

and trying to start the service results in the same “enabled and stopped” status message.

How can I get nfs running?

Anyone got any ideas?

hi skymoo, apart from suggesting to wait for ricardo :slight_smile: i was wondering if you have tried fully shutting down and restarting the drobo? maybe there is a way to manually start it?

That was one of the first things I tried.

AFAICT it’s started using:

$ sudo ./service.sh start

That doesn’t help either, still reports that’s it’s enabled but stopped.

Also it doesn’t seem to be logging anywhere, if I could find an error then I might be able to work out what’s going on…

hmm what happens if you manually try to stop it via the command line (even if it does not appear to be running?)

$ sudo ./service.sh stop nfs is not running. $ sudo ./service.sh start $ sudo ./service.sh status nfs is enabled and stopped $

ok thanks for trying that - is the exports file simply a settings file?
maybe you could check to see if the changes you made it to actually got saved ok? is there also a way to start nfs (or to install it and manage it via dashboard?)

I tried that initially and couldn’t get it working so I tried to manually install and see if I got another further.

However, I just uninstalled the manually installed version and then reinstalled from dashboard and it now works!

Thanks for the help!
