I'm trying to setup an NFS mount to an older NAS device. The client is Fedora 34, the NAS is a Buffalo Linkstation. I have access to the NAS via SSH and I can successfully mount it using CIFS and SSHFS. Of course, CIFS loses some file attributes and SSHFS seems slow and doesn't see the filesystem usage properly. So I'd prefer NFS but it keeps failing. I've even tried with my firewall disabled but no luck. The NAS only works with NFS v2. It's NFS is a client-side application as there is no NFS built into its kernel. But it is nothing new; the app has been running successfully for many folks for years. All the necessary ports seem to be open. # nmap -sU -p2049,111 nas1 PORT STATE SERVICE 111/udp open rpcbind 2049/udp open nfs # nmap -sT -p2049,111 nas1 PORT STATE SERVICE 111/tcp open rpcbind 2049/tcp open nfs I can access the NAS with rpcinfo and showmount. # showmount -e nas1 Export list for nas1: /mnt/array1/share client.compata.com # rpcinfo -p nas1 program vers proto port service 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100003 2 udp 2049 nfs 100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs 100005 1 udp 726 mountd 100005 2 udp 726 mountd 100005 1 tcp 729 mountd 100005 2 tcp 729 mountd But mount fails. # mount -v -o vers=2 -t nfs nas1:/mnt/array1/share /nas1 mount.nfs: timeout set for Sat Aug 28 17:52:01 2021 mount.nfs: trying text-based options 'vers=2,addr=192.168.44.20' mount.nfs: prog 100003, trying vers=2, prot=6 mount.nfs: trying 192.168.44.20 prog 100003 vers 2 prot TCP port 2049 mount.nfs: prog 100005, trying vers=1, prot=17 mount.nfs: trying 192.168.44.20 prog 100005 vers 1 prot UDP port 726 mount.nfs: mount(2): Protocol not supported mount.nfs: Protocol not supported # mount -v -o udp -o vers=2 -t nfs nas1:/mnt/array1/share /nas1 mount.nfs: timeout set for Sat Aug 28 17:53:43 2021 mount.nfs: trying text-based options 'udp,vers=2,addr=192.168.44.20' mount.nfs: prog 100003, trying vers=2, prot=17 mount.nfs: trying 192.168.44.20 prog 100003 vers 2 prot UDP port 2049 mount.nfs: prog 100005, trying vers=1, prot=17 mount.nfs: trying 192.168.44.20 prog 100005 vers 1 prot UDP port 726 mount.nfs: mount(2): Protocol not supported mount.nfs: Protocol not supported I have tcpdump captures from both ends and I don't see anything obviously wrong. (But then I'm not sure just what I ought to see there.) I do see the portmap calls and the results seem ok. Each is followed by a null call and a null reply, again nothing obviously wrong. I don't understand why the mount proceeds to use V1 for prog 100005 (mount) without any indication of a problem with the V2 attempt for NFS. But forcing V2 for both doesn't help. # mount -v -o nfsvers=2 -o mountvers=2 -o mountproto=tcp -t nfs nas1:/mnt/array1/share /nas1 mount.nfs: timeout set for Sat Aug 28 18:28:37 2021 mount.nfs: trying text-based options 'nfsvers=2,mountvers=2, mountproto=tcp,addr=192.168.44.20,mountaddr=192.168.44.20' mount.nfs: prog 100003, trying vers=2, prot=6 mount.nfs: trying 192.168.44.20 prog 100003 vers 2 prot TCP port 2049 mount.nfs: prog 100005, trying vers=2, prot=6 mount.nfs: trying 192.168.44.20 prog 100005 vers 2 prot TCP port 729 mount.nfs: mount(2): Protocol not supported mount.nfs: Protocol not supported I can't find anything relevant in any system log. The final message, "Protocol not supported", doesn't clearly indicate which protocol -- I presume mount(2) -- nor give any clue to a remedy. But if I force v3 for mount, I get a version mismatch. -- Dave Close, Compata, Irvine CA +1 714 434 7359 dave@xxxxxxxxxxx dhclose@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Computers are useless.
