NFS server

NFS server

[Fabio Fabbri]

First of all thanks for the cygwin environment. It's great.

Using the sources from
ftp://fr.rpmfind.net/linux/caldera/LTP/col/install/RPMS/nfs-2.2beta50-3.i386
.rpm
and small source modifications I  generate a dog slow NFS server under
cygwin,
and it sort of works. I had to generate a rpcdll with some minor
modifications from
http://www.hirmke.de/software/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Hirmke_Michael
/GNUWin32-links.html#sunrpc-4.0
I modified my /etc/passwd to have my login account with admin privileges on
NT 4.0
seen as root, uid=gid=0. Obviously security is null, but it is a small LAN.
When I export cygwin root, FAT filesystem, with all_squash to root my
clients see all files
-rwxr--r--, the same as I see from a local ls -l.
This means that unless I am root on the clients I cannot write on the
mounted filesystem.
In fhandler.cc the function
int fhandler_disk_file::fstat (struct stat *buf)
says that
      /* | S_IWGRP | S_IWOTH; we don't give write to group etc */
On a FAT filesystem security is always low, so maybe you could set any
writeable file to
-rwxrwxrwx
Well I could try it by myself, but I have a slow connection, and downloading
a snapshot
takes hours. Maybe if you also store CVS informations on the snapshots I may
just download
a snapshot and use it to kickstart CVS updates ...

Thanks

FYI, you can now "umount -u /usr/bin /usr/lib /" -- they are not needed.

AFAIK (and I don't know too much about this), the NFS server should look
like any other Unix server -- POSIX paths and all.  It's a port of a Unix
program, after all.

RE: nfs server

[Daniel_Casey]

Igot, that did it.

Yes, I had more mounts than what I put in the last e-mail, but I didn't
think the others were relevant.

This is a snapshot of the part of the mount command before:

d:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode)
d:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (binmode)
d:\cygwin on / type user (binmode)

And after running the eval command:

eval "`mount -m | sed -e 's/ -u / -s /g' -e 's/$/;/'`"

d:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode)
d:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
d:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (binmode)
d:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
d:\cygwin on / type user (binmode)
d:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)

I then re-ran the nfs-server-config and I was able to start the CYGWIN
portmap, CYGWIN nfsd,
and CYGWIN mountd services from the Win2k Services GUI.

So, when I try to mount the /pub directory that lives on my Win2k/Cygwin
machines from a remote
Unix machine, can I just specify /pub or does it have to be the Win2k path?

Thanks for all the help guys!

Sam,

A quick and dirty way:

if /bin/mount -m | /bin/grep -q ' -s .*"/"'; then
  echo SYSTEM mount exists
else
  echo NO SYSTEM mount
fi

Maybe there's a better one...
Hope this helps,

D'oh!  Ignore my previous blatherings, Igor is, of
course, correct (as usual :-)

Glad to see that it *looks* like the problem was the
mount points.  Please let us know if converting to
global mounts solves the problems.

BTW, general question for the list: is there a way
to check for user vs. system mounts that would work
from nfs-server-config?

It doesn't.  So it looks like your problem is in the mounts...  Make them
system mounts, and it should work.

Yes.  That's not the only mount, though, is it? ;-)

No, this is fine.

No.  You'll need to add this when you install the service, i.e., when you
give cygrunsrv the -I option initially.

Because the service tries to start /usr/sbin/portmap, and, since it runs
as SYSTEM, it doesn't know where /usr/sbin/ *is* (because there are no
mounts for that user).

Your choices are

1) change your mounts to global mounts, by running something like

   eval "`mount -m | sed -e 's/ -u / -s /g' -e 's/$/;/'`"

or 2) add mounts for the SYSTEM user.

Choice #1 is usually preferable.

RE: nfs server

[Daniel_Casey]

This is how the nfs-server-config script does it:

# Install portmap service
echo "Installing portmap as '$PMAP_D'"
cygrunsrv.exe -I "portmap" -d "$PMAP_D" -f "$PMAP_F" -p /usr/sbin/portmap
-e CYGWIN=ntsec -a "-F"

# Install mountd service
echo "Installing mountd as '$MNTD_D'"
cygrunsrv.exe -I "mountd" -d "$MNTD_D" -f "$MNTD_F" -p /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd
-e CYGWIN=ntsec --dep po
rtmap -a "-F"

# Install nfsd service
echo "Installing nfsd as '$NFSD_D'"
cygrunsrv.exe -I "nfsd" -d "$NFSD_D" -f "$NFSD_F" -p /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd -e
CYGWIN=ntsec --dep portma
p -a "-F"

So, I should have those options already in there?

Something else I noticed is that the paths to the executable's in this
script are

/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd, /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd and /usr/sbin/portmap

But they are actually:

/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd.exe, /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd.exe and /usr/sbin/portmap.exe

Does this matter?  I would think so, but just wanted to double check.

RE: nfs server

Mount shows:

d:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode)

So this is a "just me" installation, correct?

All three CYGWIN services have the "Path to executable" as d:
\cygwin\bin\cygrunsrv.exe.  This is incorrect?

You're saying I need to add something to cygrunsrv.exe so that it will send
the -F option to nfsd?  Do I add this
to the CYGWIN portmap service or the CYGWIN nfsd service...or both?

Something like this for the nfsd service:

cygrunsrv -S nfsd -a -F

And just leave the CYGWIN portmap and mountd services as d:
\cygwin\bin\cygrunsrv.exe?

Still don't understand why portmap will start from the Cygwin shell, but
won't start through Services.

FYI, the output of "mount" should show that (i.e., if /bin is a system
mount, you've installed for "All Users", and if it's a user mount, then it
was "Just Me").

No.  You want to pass the "-F" option to nfsd, not cygrunsrv.  What you
should do is read the output of "cygrunsrv --help" and figure out how to
pass that option to nfsd (you will need to reexecute the "cygrunsrv -I ..."
command).

Actually, can't remember if it's installed to All Users or just me.  Would
that matter?

When I go to Computer Management using the MMC, locate Services on the left
hand side (looks just like Services in the AdminTools in Control Panel)
and then click Properties for CYGWIN portmap, I see "Path to executable" as
d:\cygwin\bin\cygrunsrv.exe and "Start Parameters" is blank.  Should I
insert a -F ?

Thanks.

Very odd.  Portmap is about as simple as you can get.

Do you have Cygwin installed for just yourself, or for all
users?  Running portmap as a service executes it under the
LocalSystem account, not your user account.

The reference to cygrunsrv.exe should be correct.  If you open
the portmap service from the Services display in MMC, does it
show "-F" as the start parameter (edit field towards the bottom
of the dialog box?)

Did you run the /bin/nfs-server-config script?  This should
install portmap, mountd, and nfsd as services for you, and
create a sample /etc/exports file if you don't already have
one.

Once those services are installed, you should be able to
see them in the Services view.  You can start them from that
view; or, from a command line, you should be able to type

# net start nfsd

...and see portmap, mountd, and nfsd start (in that order.)

Try "showmount --exports <ip_address>".  On my RedHat install,
at least, showmount is installed in /usr/sbin.

No - directory is fine.

Re: nfs server

[Daniel_Casey]

Hmmm.  Interesting.  It start from the command line.  I just went to
/usr/sbin and type portmap and then checked for the process and it was
there.

user01@hostA /usr/sbin
$ portmap

user01@hostA /usr/sbin
$ ps -ef|grep port
 user01     516       1   ?  15:13:26 /usr/sbin/portmap


But, I don't see it running under Win2k services.  Do I need to start
mountd and/or nfsd through the Services?

So, if /etc/exports has /pub  (ro,all_squash), is there a command I can run
to see if it's ready to be mounted remotely?

BTW, /pub is just a directory, not a filesystem, so it's hanging off of /.
Does it have to be an FS?


Thanks.

RE: nfs server

[Robb, Sam]

Daniel,

  Do you have another portmap service installed and
running?  Try running portmap from the command line -
if it's unable to bind to the default port, it will
say so.

nfs server

[Daniel_Casey]

I've downloaded the NFS server package from
http://www.oneparticularharbor.net/cygwin/
and it installed o.k.  When I try to start portmap, it dies.  Eventvwr
doesn't reveal much.  I my /etc/exports only has a /pub
has shared out, other than that, it's all comments.  Any thoughts?

Thanks.

[Murat Demircioglu]

	Hi,

 Thanx for your help.. I got sossnt. It also has the source
code and it works great...

 And one more question:

it be sold? I'm writing a commercial product for newspapers and i want to 
bundle an NFS server with it..

Hi Murat, you wrote:

I do it the other way using SAMBA on unix.
(Only gotcha it stopped after applying NT4.0 SP3! I had to set a registry
entry to re-enable plaintext passwords, as explained in MS Knowledge Base
article Q166730.)
Note the traditional NFS uses UDP, not TCP. IIRC UDP isn't supported yet.
