I am developing a Dockerfile that makes a custom massflash archive for Jetson Orin NX. When the Dockerfile actually gets to the step of running the flash script to create the massflash package, I run into errors related to NFS. NFS Server is something I would like to avoid in creating the massflash …

See this work around [image] Unable to Flash R36 on Orin Nano 8GB Dev Kit Using External Storage Jetson Orin Nano We are investigating the error with initrd flash. In the mean time, these are the workaround First workaround First, determine what NVMe controller your NVM…

The whole initrd flashing mechanism relies on NFS server. You won’t be able to avoid it.

OK I understand that it’s required. How would I go about fixing this error then? I added the required package (nfs-kernel-server) before I decided to avoid it on the Ubuntu base image in the Dockerfile to at least get it working. Even with that I get the same error shown above.

Maybe something like this: [image] Setup a NFS Server With Docker - Ruan Bekker's Blog setup a nfs server with docker for persistent storage for your containers

I think you should put the BSP in the filesystem of your host OS. [chpatton013] NFS in Docker: exportfs: <path> does not support NFS export macos, docker, docker-machine, nfs asked by chpatton013 on 05:58AM - 20 Mar 16 UTC

I have not used massflash, so I know very little about that. I also don’t know what is being solved by using Docker. However, it is usually the Linux kernel which doesn’t support NFS export, or perhaps it is using a non-Linux filesystem type that doesn’t support NFS export. If NFS is only a tool for…

So, you’re saying that it’s possible the kernel I’m configuring in the image building process needs to have NFS capabilities, right? I just want the script below to work to generate Orin flash arc…

Yes, it is possible the the kernel in the image building is what needs NFS support. Any kind of NFS operation requires (A) the kernel to support that release of NFS (e.g., ver. 3 or ver. 4), and (B) the filesystem would likely need to be a Linux filesystem (I doubt NTFS or VFAT would work). The runn…

OK. Thanks. Another problem could be that I’m not using a rootfs from Nvidia as I’m using one from Ubuntu Base and adding extra packages needed.

There could be other problems, but if this is an ext4 filesystem, then the filesystem itself would not be an issue. There might be missing libraries or other support required by the kernel. The kernel itself might also be missing features (restating the previous example, there is a v3 version and v4…

The website didn’t work out for me. This other question posted here is similar to my situation. I’m not clear how it was solved. Rootfs does not support NFS export - Jetson & Embedded Systems / Jetson Orin NX - NVIDIA Developer Forums
