Comments on How to setup an NFS Server and configure NFS Storage in Proxmox VE

Does not seem to work with CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 VM (fresh install). When using:

systemctl start nfs-server

it returns:

A dependency job for nfs-server.service failed. See 'journalctl -xe' for details.

and:

# journalctl -xeNov 08 09:45:05 myhost systemd[1]: Dependency failed for RPC security service for NFS server.-- Subject: Unit rpc-svcgssd.service has failed-- Defined-By: systemd....

Your configuartion in /etc/exports is probably incorrect 

Patrick, i too am having the same issue with a CentOS 7 release, though the error does seem to be slightly different (denied mounting Huge Pages FS.

May 11 20:28:14 nfs mount[37]: mount: permission denied

May 11 20:28:14 nfs systemd[1]: dev-hugepages.mount mount process exited, code=exited status=32

May 11 20:28:14 nfs systemd[1]: Failed to mount Huge Pages File System.

-- Subject: Unit dev-hugepages.mount has failed

concerning the suggestion from Huzar, the error occurs before this guide directs us to modify the /etc/exports file, but i still had this issue after making the modification.i had a great deal of hope as this article seemed well written and covered the bases. but at this point i am stuck.any thoughts/ideas from anyone is greatly appreciated.  : )

thanx, good tutorial

I followed the tutorial and it works except the NFS share is just 60GB. The NFS server has a total of 4TB. How do i increase the size of NFS share?

I figured out the problem. The shared directory must be created in the /home not in the/var. If you create directory /home/nfsproxmox then you have access to the entire partition sda3 partition.

Thanks for this tutorial.I've tried it but had several problem.

1st of all, when I set a backup, Proxmox permit to select only local storage, not the configured NFS storage

2nd I've prepared the shared directory in /share/proxmox and I could only seen 18Gb insead 100Gb of disk

Could you send me a suggestion ?

Best Regards
