   mount.nfs: Connection timed out

   Okay, so I just bought a ReadyNAS nv+ v2, installed an add-on so that I get root-access to it via ssh, and lo and behold, it was running something based on debian-squeeze (ARM).
   
   On my previous NAS (ubuntu server) I mounted stuff with sshfs, but before retiring that NAS, I tried NFS and it was way faster and more reliable.
   
   On the new NAS, I can mount via sshfs, but I'd really like to mount via NFS. I'm new to NFS, so I'd like some help.
   
   What I've done so far.
   
   Edited /etc/exports
   

   Code:

   /c/home/johan 10.10.1.190(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
   /c/home/johan 10.10.1.196(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

   Then I ran this
   

   Code:

   exportfs -r

   Yielded no errors
   
   
   Then I ran the following command
   

   Code:

   root@Amunet:/# /etc/init.d/portmap restart
   Stopping portmap daemon....
   Starting portmap daemon....
   root@Amunet:/# /etc/init.d/nfs-common restart
   Stopping NFS common utilities: idmapd statd.
   Starting NFS common utilities: statd idmapd.

   
   Then on my desktop machine (ubuntu 11.10) I ran
   

   Code:

   sudo mount 10.10.1.100:/c/home/johan /media/nellie

   and
   

   Code:

   sudo mount -t nfs 10.10.1.100:/c/home/johan /media/nellie

   which results in the error:
   

   Code:

   mount.nfs: Connection timed out

   10.10.1.100 is the NAS... YES! "/c/home/johan" is the correct path to the directory I want to share. I guess the "c" is to make windows users comfortable so that they don't have to deal with the unix filesystem.
   
   
   Another thing to mention is that, when I ordered this NAS, the shopping site listed it as having NFS support. But on Netgears site they have some pages that says it has NFS support and some that say it does not have NFS. The previous model had NFS. And clearly, the NFS software is there.
   
   So, it might need some tinkering!
   
   Anyone up for the challange?

   More info:
   
   
   

   Code:

   root@Amunet:/# rpcinfo -p
   program vers proto   port
   100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
   100024    1   udp  45598  status
   100024    1   tcp  36736  status

   In another forum someone had...
   
   

   Code:

   100003 2 udp 2049 nfs
   100003 3 udp 2049 nfs
   100003 4 udp 2049 nfs
   100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs
   100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs
   100003 4 tcp 2049 nfs

   ...which I am missing. What to do?

   Usually the command to run the NFS server on Debian/Ubuntu is either "service nfs-kernel-server start" or "/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start".

   Dude, I remembered trying that before (a couple of software-reinstalments ago), and it didn't work, it said the server was already running.
   
   For whatever reason, this time it said it started (tried it so I could hand you the same error-message). I tried mounting it... BAM!! it worked!
   
   You sir, have made me one happy man! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

   Re: mount.nfs: Connection timed out

   Would suggest you do a
   

   Code:

   vi /etc/default/services

   and set "NFS=1" (no quotes). This should mean that NFS is automatically started on each boot.
   
   The information on NetGear.com should be being corrected.
   
   ReadyNAS.com has a great community forum and a good comparison chart: http://www.readynas.com/?cat=49
