NFS mount failed RPCPROG_MNT: RPC: Timed out

[bforest]

Hello All,

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!

I am attempting to mount an NFS share from a PCBSD workstation. [FYI, I have worked on this problem for some time and tried many different things but for simplicity, Here is basically what is happening and I will follow any direction you suggest.

I changed my settings for: 'Authorized network or IP addresses' from 192.168.0.0 (attempt to reference the subnet) to 192.168.0.202 (actual address of my workstation) and that seems to have gotten rid of the: 'mount request denied from 192.168.0.202' at the freenas server but .... still I have the RPC issue and no mounting at the workstation. I also changed the mapalluser to Root and mapallgroup to wheel. see second attachment: Screenshot - 02032012 - 08:31:47.jpg

I changed my settings for: 'Authorized network or IP addresses' from 192.168.0.0 (attempt

Partial SOLU: to the 'Authorized network or IP addresses':
Apparently in FreeNAS v8.0.3 (WebGUI) you can only enter EITHER
* Single network entry [ xx.xx.xx.xx/xx ]
* Single OR multiple IP address entries [ xx.xx.xx.xx xx.xx.xx.xx xx.xx.xx.xx ]
. . . . . . . . . . . #(space delimited)

See: [ _http://support.freenas.org/ticket/1076 ]
I also performed some simple tests using two workstations to verify this.

I attempted to connect to the FreeNAS server (mount the same NFS share) on an old laptop but received the same RPCBIND Timeout error.

Solved??

Wow...

I believe I have found "a" solution to the "RPCPROG_MNT: RPC: Timed out" issue. I found the following thread:

http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=14415

Which basically told me to add the host IP and hostname of my workstation to the /etc/hosts file of the FreeNAS server. I did this and the share mounted immediately upon issuing the mount command.

I am happy to have the share mounting now but... my workstations are DHCP so the address could change.

I was hoping for a better solution. (I still don't completely understand the problem or the "why".) I could just change my DHCP to send specific IP's to specific machines but...

Any thoughts please??
Anyone reading these??

Ok... The above temporary fix is even more temporary because when I reboot the FreeNAS box the /etc/hosts file gets restored to the original version.

Could someone tell me how to make persistent changes to the /etc/hosts file or is there somewhere in the GUI I can add these entries?

My system boots off of a 4Gb USB flash drive.

Code:

:from /var/run/dmesg.boot:
