Hi togheter,

 

i've tried for days now using the nfs server of unraid to netboot some of my raspberry pis.

As you can see in the attached image it's kind of working, but after first boot no font is visible.

Also after reboot the pi hangs on some jobs and doesn't boot back to desktop.

As it was working to netboot the pi from another pi i think it should be an error in the nfs rules.

Maybe someone have already done it or could direct me in the right direction?

 

Network and machine info:

Running Unraid 6.9.2

TFTP Server via Pihole Docker Image (Dnsmasq)

Raspberry Pi 4b

all running in /24 home lan

 

NFS settings:

NFSv3 (cause in v4 is just enabled in Unraid 6.10?)

Export: Yes

Safety: Privat

Rule:

*(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)

Also tried with *(rw,fsid=0,sync,no_subtree_check,no_auth_nlm,insecure,no_root_squash) and some other variations

 

etc/exports:

"/mnt/user/4df8dafb" -async,no_subtree_check,fsid=108 *(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)
"/mnt/user/69bfaec2" -async,no_subtree_check,fsid=109 *(rw,fsid=0,sync,no_subtree_check,no_auth_nlm,insecure,no_root_squash)
"/mnt/user/rpis" -async,no_subtree_check,fsid=102 *(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)

"4df8dafb" is the serial of the used raspberry, here used as rootfs partition of the pi

"rpis" folder is holding the boot files for raspberries used in TFTP Server.

 

The folders were newly created and the files are copied with rsync directly from the mounted partitions of the image. Tried with different images already.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

 

Try '*(rw,sec=sys,insecure,anongid=100,anonuid=99,no_root_squash)' for your rule.

Thanks for the tip but i got the same error with this rule.

 

I also tried with a dockerized nfs server (https://hub.docker.com/r/erichough/nfs-server)

There i got the same result with my or your rule.

 

Next thought of mine: Could it be a problem with the xfs filesystem used in my unraid?

 

did you get any resolution to the issue as I am doing the same and wanting to netboot my rpi's?
