Unable to Mount NFS Share on Linux Laptop in Same Network via WiFi or LAN

[Arotex]

Hello,

I'm encountering an issue while attempting to mount an NFS share on my Linux laptop. Here's the scenario:

+ Successful mounting occurs when using WireGuard or a direct connection between the server and laptop.

- However, when within the same network but connected via WiFi or LAN, the mount fails to proceed.

 

I'm seeking assistance to resolve this issue.

Thank you.

Do you mean you want to let Unraid access a share on your laptop? The usual way to mount a network share in Unraid is with the Unassigned Devices plugin. How are you trying to do it?

[Arotex]

no the unraid Server has the share on it. And i want to mount it on my laptop.

It is a normal share (/mnt/user/...) and on my laptop it should be mounted for example in the folder /mnt/nfs/...

What is your mount command on the laptop?

 

What does the laptop log show after attempting a mount?

I tried it with the following methodes:

- fstab entry (SERVER_IP:/mnt/user/SHARE_NAME        /mnt/nfs/SHARE_NAME        nfs4    defaults,user,exec,auto,nofail    0    0) and the mount -a or mount -va command 

i played already around with the parameters i tried just nfs   or just default or auto etc everything didnt work.

- sudo mount -v SERVER_IP:/mnt/user/SHARE_NAME /mnt/nfs/SHARE_NAME

 

both commands failed and replayed : mount.nfs: timeout set for Sun Mar 24 16:01:46 2024
mount.nfs: trying text-based options 'vers=4.2,addr=SERVER_IP,clientaddr=CLIENT_IP'

 

But when I connected via Wireguard both commands work. 

Or I plug in an LAN-cable directly into Server and Laptop

Please answer this question previously asked.

 

Can you ping the Unraid server when connected to WiFi or LAN and the mount fails?

[Arotex]

The Ping is successful

What log file has the important information you need?

I tried to find something in the logs

I found the following in the syslog when i use nfs4 in fstab and mount -va

Mar 30 09:01:03 [PC_NAME] mount[978]: mount.nfs4: Network is unreachable
Mar 30 09:01:03 [PC_NAME] mount[983]: mount.nfs4: Network is unreachable

I get this following terminal output when i use just nfs in fstab
