I've read all the related questions but I can't make it work. On my ubuntu 16.04 server I want to mount an external vfat disk to share via nfs.



I have made a folder (/media/passport) which finally belongs to nobody:nogroup and anyone has full privileges but when rebooting the /media/passport folder belongs to root:root.



My client can see the nfs (as nfs://192.168.0.2/passport) but cannot proceed further (cannot read the folders and files in it).



The fstab file has the line:
UUID=THEUUID /media/passport rw,users,utf8 0 0



Anything I have read in stackoverflow promises to solve my issue but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?



EDIT



Changing the mounted disc to ext4 (instead of vfat) gives me the same results; I can see the nfs://server/passport but I cannot browse further. I have tried all possible options both in /etc/fstab and in /etc/exports.

as I understand - you want to share your directory to somebody over network. If so - try to look in the direction "/etc/exports" for example here

  • I can't figure out if it is the export that doesn't work or the mounting. I can see the nfs and when trying to connect I get the nfs://server/passport part but I cannot browse further.

Sounds like the client mounts the share via NFSv4. Try mounting it via NFSv3. Option is vers=3.

  • The "client" is the Minix tvbox and it doesn't give any nfs mounting options.

  • Can you try disabling NFSv4 on the server side then? Something like RPCMOUNTDOPTS="--manage-gids --no-nfs-version 4" in /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server might do. Don't forget to reboot.
