[SOLVED] NFS 1.3.2 Not Working on 5N with Firmware 3.2.0

Drobo - End of Sale Drobo 5N
1

Howdy,

I’ve installed the NFS 1.3.2 for the Drobo5n on my Drobo (http://www.droboports.com/app-repository/nfs/) by copying nfs.tgz to DroboApps and running

[code]$ sudo /bin/sh /usr/bin/DroboApps.sh install

Installing /mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/nfs.tgz.
Running post-install script.
Starting nfs.

$ ps | grep nfs
209 root 0 SW< [nfsiod]
4215 root 2728 S /mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/nfs/sbin/rpc.mountd -F
[/code]

However I’m unable to mount the default share:

[code]$ sudo mount -t nfs 10.0.1.7:/mnt/DroboFS/Shares/Public /data/Public

mount.nfs: Connection timed out

$ showmount -e 10.0.1.7
clnt_create: RPC: Port mapper failure - Unable to receive: errno 111 (Connection refused)

[/code]

Then I take a look at the ports open on the Drobo5N and I don’t see any of the usual NFS ports

Looking at the log file appears to reveal a problem “failed to access local netconfig database: Netconfig database not found”

    Are there any dependencies that need to be installed for NFSv3 on the 5N?

I can see that this is not the first start. Could you please reboot the Drobo and post the log again? Also, is rpcbind running?

Howdy, rpcbind was not running. I went ahead and uninstalled it, deleted everything from /tmp/DroboApps/nfs, added the nfs.tgz back to DroboApps and rebooted. Here’s the info:

processes after boot (although rpcbind.pid shows a pid, that pid doesn’t exist in the process list

Here’s the list of apps in /mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps

4

Out of curiosity, I tried uninstalling all apps other than bash, ssh, sudo and nfs. Rebooted and still the same, rpcbind isn’t starting.

5

I tried downgrading from 3.2.0 to 3.1.1 and still get the same result with NFS 1.3.2. Oh well, was worth a shot.

A word of caution for anyone considering downgrading firmware on the 5N, your file system may not be usable after downgrading! Mine wasn’t, but it was new so I didn’t lose anything.

6

I followed up on this on the github issue page.

7

Ricardo fixed the issue, see: https://github.com/droboports/nfs/issues/2

The updated nfs.tgz on the Droboports site has all the fixes.
https://github.com/droboports/nfs/releases[hr]

I was just wondering…

@ricardo

I have updated my Drobo 5N firmware to v3.2.3 [8.62.74717]. Will the current nfs version most recently updated for v3.2.0 compatibility, also work with v3.2.3? Just thought it worth checking before I go down the rabbit hole.
