trying to mount a NFS share on ubuntu gives: "unprivileged port" error, how to change port?

[senior_hombre]

Hi,
i created a NFS share on the NAS and am currently trying to mount it on a ubuntu client using the following mount command:

Code:

sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.0.17:/mnt/volume1/data /mnt/data

which gives the following error message:

Code:

mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.0.17:/mnt/volume1/data

The console log on the NAS shows the following error:

Code:

mount request from 192.168.0.11 from unprivileged port

Before anyone asks: the authorized networks setting for the share is: 192.168.0.0/24

I googled for the error and found on this site: http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=NFS
that this error is related to the use of ports higher than 1023, and it gives a solution too, which i did not tried for now because it is basically to enabling an option called "insecure"!
I would rather try a "secure" solution first, like using a different port on the client!

So my question is, how to use a different port on the client?

You're better off asking that over at the Ubuntu forums, since it's an Ubuntu question. Maybe someone here has the required experience, but I wouldn't count too much on it.

The unprivileged port error is an error the FreeNAS console shows! Ubuntu is just the client that cannot connect.
But FYI i just checked with a debian client -> same error!
So it has to be a FreeNAS problem.

It might be a FreeNAS issue, but you're looking for a client-side workaround. Unfortunately, the FreeNAS manual makes no mention of the port used. Maybe someone with more experience might be able to offer a server-side solution.

Yes i hope so, maybe it is just a setting iam missing, but the documentation is pretty clear and i cannot find something i missed.

Make sure you place network clients in the freenas global hosts config..
