BCM NFS Mounting Problem

[ugurbas]

Hi Team,
I have problems with mounting an NFS to my BCM cluster. My cluster uses topology 1, and the NFS is located in the externalnet. I have successfully mounted the NFS to my head node:

When I enter the relevant directory, i can see the files in my NFS.

Then, I exported this directory:

And mounted it on my default category

When I check the /etc/fstab in node03, I see that the directory should be mounted:

However, when I try to mount all the volumes in the fstab file, I get an error saying that there is no such directory. But when I follow the same steps again with a regular directory in the head node (I mean I am not using the NFS in the extarnalnet this time), It successfully mounts the directory which can be seen below:

Here is the files and folder shared in the head node:

I am not sure whether this problem is related to using an NFS in the externalnet.

Besides, when I toggle on the auto button in the File System Export page, the line is removed from the list. Hence, I cannot export a file system automatically:

I use just one head node and one regular node in my cluster and both are workstations.
Thank you in advance.

This is an excellent thing to make an NVIDIA Enterprise Support ticket on. :-) I’d encourage you to do that (see the pinned post in this forum).

In the meantime, what if you export a different directory (a native one) from the Head Node, does that work? (e.g., don’t try and re-export an NFS import)

What does showmount -e on the Head Node say?

When I export a regular directory (not an NFS directory) before turning on the Auto mount, the output of the “showmount -e” command is normal, and the directory is accessible from the regular node. But when I turn on the Auto mount it disappears after a few seconds, and the directory is inaccessible from the regular node:
