I'm trying to setup gluster with nfs.If I mount
the root directory of
the share it works just fine, but (for various
reasons) I need to mount only
a subdir of that share (ex. mount
192.168.0.181:/share/subdir
/mnt/gluster/) but it fails with
"reason given by server: No such file or
directory", that directory, of course, exists into
the share.Any ideas on
how to solve this problem ?
I have the same problem..
As far as I can recall, glusterfs uses NFS3 and the mount
point is the "root" directory, so the subdirectories won't
be directly mountable, I think you need NFS4 to be able to
do what you are thinking of.
I've just tried with the standard linux NFS server and it works also with NFSv3
(mount -o nfsvers=3 192.168.0.244:/tmp/subdir /tmp/test/) so it's not a
protocol problem; I think it's a gluster related issue.
On NFS server (NFS3 only):
$ cat /etc/exports
/var/log
192.168.1.0/24(ro,no_root_squash,no_wdelay,subtree_check,async)
$ ls -ld /var/log/apache2
drwxr-xr-x 2 apache apache 90112 Nov 11 03:11 /var/log/apache2
You see that on the server we export /var/log and we do have a
subdirectory called apache2.
On NFS client (NFS3 mounting):
# mount -o nfsserv=3 peggy:/var/log/apache2 /media
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified
You see that it fails.
I could add the subdirectory to the nfs exports on the server, then I
could just mount the subdirectory.
I don't think this is a glusterfs issue. I do suggest you do use the
workaround. It could be possible you can modify the exports on the
glusterfs, have to say I haven't been using NFS on glusterfs more than
once for a short testing.
A work around would be to mount the whole share to a
location on the client which isn't accessible for all users
and then bind the directory you wanted to mount to the
location where you wanted.
Example for fstab:
192.168.0.1:/share /protected/share nfs
noauto,nfsvers=3,rw,bg,hard,intr,async 0 0
/protected/share /reallocation none bind 0 0
