Rook NFSserver: Mount on Window

[efter...@gmail.com]

hi 

I did follow the instruction as this link https://rook.io/docs/rook/master/nfs.html#rook-ceph-volume-example to create and initialize a NFS Server

It managed to export it as nfs folder. I am able to mount the nfs share folder on any linux based OS.

Unfortunately i not able to mount/search the nfs folder on Window based OS. i did everything on Window as this https://graspingtech.com/mount-nfs-share-windows-10/.

when i ping the ipaddresss, it did respond back to me. 

Did anyone facing this issue before?

regards

What IP address are you using? If it is the Pod IP and you are getting a ping that mostly likely just means that the IP is used outside of the Kubernetes cluster by another device.

Unless you are in the software defined network as the Kubernetes cluster you are not able to connect to the actual Pod.

You would need to look into `hostNetwork: true` and / or exposing the NFS Server Service through a NodePort or LoadBalancer Service to connect to it from outside the Kubernetes cluster (network).

Kind regards

Hi Alexander 

 

First at all, i pretty much thanks for your reply.

 

Ops, i forgot to mention upthere, i did exposed the NFS server server through a Loadbalancer Service to connect it from outside the Kubernetes clutser(network).

 

 

 

As i said earlier, i can mounted the nfs server on any LINUX based node which are outside from the Kubernetes cluster, but no on Window based node.

 

when i try to mount/mapping the nfs server on window, it show error as below picture:

 

or anything i miss ?

 

regards

Have you checked on Windows site that "Windows NFS client is unable to use 'higher port numbers'"?

Checkout https://serverfault.com/a/996622 and https://serverfault.com/questions/533887/network-error-53-while-trying-to-mount-nfs-share-in-windows-server-2008-clie#611252

So it might be possible to set a policy / option in Windows to allow "higher port numbers", not sure though if that will fix it for you.

Kind regards

I don't have other ideas. Maybe there is a Ceph / Ganesha issue open / documentation page that goes into Windows support more.

Ganesha docs seem to be located here: https://github.com/nfs-ganesha/nfs-ganesha/wiki

Kind regards
