Greetings. I've just started to use VirtualBox on a 32-bit, Windows Vista
system. I installed linux (32-bit Fedora 11) in the virtual machine. All
this seemed to be pretty straightforward.
Now I'd like to mount on the virtual machine a file system that is
NFS-exported from another linux machine, i.e., one running on different
hardware.
I've successfully mounted this file system on three non-virtual linux systems
on my home network, but I've so far been unable to do the mounting on the
virtual linux machine.
The virtual linux machine reports that there is no response from the NFS
server, but I don't see any indication in the log files on the server that it
is rejecting any connections.
I'm able to ping the server from the virtual machine, so there IS network
connectivity. I suspect that the problem stems from my confusion about
network addresses. I see the following:
NFS server: 192.168.x...
virtual linux box: 10.0...
Windows Vista box: 192.168.x...
virtual box addr: 192.168.y... x != y
as reported
by ipconfig
on Windows
There is typically a lot of fiddling required with firewalls and selinux,
getting all the required services to run, etc., in order to get NFS to work
properly, so it's possible I've just overlooked some obvious step.
But if there's some voodoo that's related to the use of NFS with VirtualBox,
I'd love to hear about it.
Thanks.
