Access a NFS Share from Another Linux Box
-
I feel like this shouldn't be this hard but I'm trying to access a share that's on server1 from server2. Both are running Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS and I want to basically share my NASes through one server that has Pertino to another running Pertino that is now on C@C. This shouldn't be so difficult but it is! GAH! Please help!
Thanks,
A.J. -
Okay, so I'm a little unclear on what you are doing here. One or both Ubuntu 14.04.2 server is set up as an NFS server, is that correct?

I believe one should be, but I can't even confirm that 100%. Basically I just need to share my NASes mounted to server1 through to server2.

Wait, you are trying to re-share an NFS share? Sharing a share?

Correct.

Unfortunately that's the only way to do this...

That's never the answer. Let's back up and explore options.
-
Two obvious options that come to mind:
-
What kind of NAS is it that you can't install Pertino directly on it?
-
If (1) isn't possible, why do a double mount when you could do a TCP/IP hairpin?

You've mentioned a TCP/IP hairpin before but can you explain it again?
It's a consumer-grade NAS. Works fine for my needs overall, but I can't install Pertino on it. Seagate GoFlex Home are the NASes. 2TB each. -

I assume he means setup the Linux box to so some simple routing between Pertino and the NAS.

Ok, that'd be doable, but are there any good walkthroughs for this?

No Idea. I've only ever done it on cisco devices. @scottalanmiller hopefully knows.

If I have to setup the hairpin on CentOS, that's fine too. I'm not picky, as long as it works.

This is going to take some work. NFS is tricky and finding the right syntax for this is tough as no one every does this. But try this...
ssh -fN -L "2049:servername:2049" servername -
Basically I need to setup a bridge between the local interface, eth0, and pertino0 on what used to be my jump server. I'm working to upgrade my Pertino licensing as I'm currently maxed out. However, this is one of those times it sucks working on the east coast starting at 7AM when Pertino is in California...
Anyways, if I bridge these two interfaces, would that work?
Thanks,

A.J.Really? their web portal won't let you purchase more licenses on the fly?

I haven't exactly purchased anything at this point...

As usual, he is using a free service and complaining because he can't abuse it and do whatever he wants.

Well I guess that depends - If the plan is to call Pertino and beg for additional free licenses, then maybe. But if his plan is to call them and request assistance upgrading his account to a paid one with more licenses then no..
-
@Dashrender o with the former.
