Problems mounting NAS |
|
Hi,
I'm completely new to puppy linux, have a few months of Ubuntu experience. I use slacko puppy 5.5, frugal install.
On my ubuntu laptop, I'm able to mount my NAS (Synology) with the following command:
Code: | sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.xxx.yy:/volume1/Data /mnt/nas/data |
This did not work out of the box on puppy. I could solve the first error message by installing nfs-utils. Then a second error message came and I'm unable to solve this. Here's the message:
mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking.
mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd
Any hints on this?
Thanks a lot on beforehand,

Saroele- Welcome! Did you install through pacman or solo-dwnld? Is logcheck-database installed?

Semme,
I installed the nfs-utils with the Puppy Package Manager. Is Pacman the Puppy alternative to apt-get in Ubuntu?
What is logcheck-database? PPM can't find it so I suppose I don't have it and don't know how to get that.

Saroele- no worries as I refer to any distros package manager as pacman.
Having had a chance to inspect the pkg you have there I see it comes supplied with rpc.statd. Consulting the readme it would appear she relies on the distro in questions method for handling services. Aboard Pup this means creating a symlink to your users Startup folder.
Open two Rox filers.. One @ /root/Startup and one @ /usr/sbin.
Drag the start-stat script to Startup, let go and choose link relative.
The above assumes rpc.stat resides in /sbin.

DId you try using this option?
Code: | mount -t nfs 192.168.xxx.yy:/volume1/Data /mnt/nas/data -o nolock |

rcrsn51, that was a great suggestion: adding the -o nolock makes it work just out of the box. I tried it before but I did not know that the -o nolock had to come in the end.
Is there something unsafe or stupid about using this -o nolock ?
If not, I will not investigate the (more complex) solutions proposed by other helpful posters. Thanks for your help, but this is by far the most easy solution.

One addition: puppy did NOT shutdown anymore.
I tried again, and when I unmount all the mounted folders from my NAS, puppy shuts down again nicely. What is the most elegant way to add this automatically to some shutdown procedure?

There had been some adjustments to /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown beginning mit Slacko-5.3[.?] also in regards to network mounts.
Would be nice if you could post an example output of the
command when your NAS are mounted.
