Posted: Sat Jan 06, 2018 6:30 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Diskless client can't mount NFS root, liveCD can

Hello,

I'm trying to bring up some diskless gentoo clients.
Setup I'm using is: dnsmasq DHCP/TFTP/DNS server and PXELINUX as bootloader.
On boot clients get IP adresses, recieve kernel and kernel options from server and start booting kernel but they stop with:

Code:

VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS.
List of all partitions:
No filesystems couldmount root, tried:
nfs

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(2,0)

If I try to mount that NFS share from that same client when it's running from livecd it works.
I used NFSv3, without any firewall rules.

I have no more ideas.

TIA

Dusan

Code:

krshina3 /home/dusan # tcpdump -vv -i br0 | grep 168.1.101

dusanc, Well, the server works, or the liveCD wouldn't work either. Pastebin the client kernel .config and the init script from the client initrd, if you have a client initrd. _________________ Regards, NeddySeagoon Computer users fall into two groups:- those that do backups those that have never had a hard drive fail.

There's no initrd, kernels are monolithic.

.config is here https://paste.pound-python.org/show/afx0V9fktQXvUOnF4uju/

you read it bad, the key is vers=3
nfsvers=3 wasn't the key to success

and the problem is not because the client use an nfsv3 implementation, but because the server try all implementations it knows if the client don't tell him "i'm using a version x", hence the fix with vers=3 -> the client is telling the server, try with nfsv3 on me first.

And we have a winner!

Solution, as said above is to add vers=3:

Code:

nfsroot=$SERVERIP:/diskless/shared,vers=3

Now clients booted.

2nd question: Is it possible to use NFSv3 just for boot and NFSv4 for remounting / ?

the subtle to mount a v4 or v3 share is on the client asking the mount.

Look at (a proper v4 share)

Code:

/export 192.168.0.0/24(rw,sec=sys,fsid=0,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,nohide,async,anonuid=250,anongid=250)
/export/distfiles 192.168.0.0/24(rw,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash,nohide,secure,anonuid=250,anongid=250)

and how client mount this:
mount it as nfsv3: mount server:/export/distfiles ...
mount it as nvsv4: mount server:/distfiles ...
for nfvs4 first directory is the nfs_root, which mean its base, so / because it's /export in my example, export is so / it must have the entry fsid=0 to tag it /
and if you mount /distfiles you then mount it "as an nfsv4" client, because you aim the directory "/" + "distfiles"
and if you mount /export/distfiles you mount it "as nfsv3" client, because there's no "root" concept on v3
keep that in mind, because if you try force nfsv4 with mount /export/distfiles, it will fail because you are saying let me mount "/" + "export" + "distilfes", which mean /export/export/distfiles in the example.

keep also in mind: all directories must be subdir of / for nfsv4.
so you cannot do
/export ...
/export/distfiles
/var/tmp <- wrong, not subdir of /export.
if you have different directories to mount, you bind them to your nfs_root mount point.
to allow /var/tmp you mount --bind /var/tmp /export/var_tmp
and its entry in the config is set as:
/export/var_tmp ... var_tmp is a subdir of /export, nfsv4 server is now happy

make sure your nfsv4 server is configure correctly, and your nfsv4 or 3 clients will be happy.
but if you mess with the nfsv4 server config, nfsv4 clients will not (while still nfsv3 will remain happy).
