I'm running unRAID v6.2.4 and trying to mount a share via NFSv4 from a linux client but it doesn't seem to be enabled/supported.

 

# mount -t nfs4 nas:/mnt/disk1 /mnt/disk1
mount.nfs4: Protocol not supported

# rpcinfo -s nas
   program version(s) netid(s)                         service     owner
    100000  2,3,4     local,udp,tcp                    portmapper  superuser
    100024  1         tcp,udp                          status      32
    100003  3         udp,tcp                          nfs         superuser
    100021  4,3,1     tcp,udp                          nlockmgr    superuser
    100005  3,2,1     tcp,udp                          mountd      superuser

 

EDIT: So it looks like NFSv4 requires a bit of work to be functional on Slackware.

Assuming that's correct, can a mod/dev look into this? Or correct me in the event I'm wrong.

That is a documentation error: current versions of unRAID only support NFSv3.

 

Supporting NFSv4 requires kernel option turned on as well as addition user space tools.  We will try to get this into the next -rc release.

 

Hi Tom, are  there still plans to upgrade to NFSv4 ?There have been a few RC releases since this post but i see NFSv3 is still the implemented option.

Wondering this as well

Bump

 

Sorry to bump this. I'm running 6.7.2 and failed to activate V4. So I consider it to be not implemented.

 

Any plans?

Hi,

 

I installed a NFS-Ganesha container and can now provide NFS4. Technically it works and it solved the issues I had with NFS3. Nevertheless, it is a bolt-on, which is a work-around for something which should be provided by Unraid in the first place.

 

I can see that there is a lot of work going into Unraid and I really appreciate all the new ideas and fixes being rolled out in a comparably high-frequent manner. I'm glad I came across it months ago and I think it is a very competitive NAS OS. If it wasn't that, I wouldn't use it. It would be good to see NFS4 natively in Unraid one day, so that this 100MB bolt-on work-around container can go, eventually.

 

Regards

+1, I also request to add NFS v4 support in unraid

This definitely needs to happen. It has been promised for over 3 years. Or, at least, the Doc needs to be changed to reflect that we still only have NFSv3 and NFSv4 cannot be enabled. I tried to edit the wiki, but I don't have permissions.

Hey. Could you provide some information on how you set this up? Do you disable NFS sharing on Unraid and instead have it be done via the container?

Hi Khadgar,

 

no, I kept the native Unraid NFS v3 share untouched.

 

I've installed the container with a custom Network Type (Custom: eth0) and set a Fixed IP address in the Unraid GUI. The new address must not be used by any other device in your subnet. The one I used is outside the DHCP range of the DHCP server, so collisions later on will be avoided.

I assume only NFSv3 is still only supported? 

 

+1 for requesting NFS v4.  I don't understand why a protocol that was released in 2012 is still not supported.

Also +1, i am editing photos and videos directly over network, and when comparing nfs to smb, nfs feels alot snappier.

Hello,

 

why doesn't use Unraid nfs4?

 

A modern operating system, must have nfs4.x  support.

@limetech you can implement it?
