The NFS client is not functioning.

Hello people! 
I have a NAS on my local network. I want to use its NFS share in Armbian

Just like I do with the Debian x86 desktop. (I want to say that the NAS is configured correctly).

 v25.8.1 for RK3318 Box running Armbian Linux 6.12.42-current-rockchip64

 Packages:     Debian stable (bookworm), possible distro upgrade (trixie)

.

 

However, I had some problems with armbian. I followed the general NFS instructions for debian. but it didn't work. 

 I followed the instructions for armbian.

 

I created a directory for the mount point. I copied the fstab line from my desktop, where it is known to be correct and working properly.

 

192.168.xx.x:/d8/d8    /mnt/d8-nas    nfs    relatime,nfsvers=3    0    0

 

I've tried issuing commands from the command line.

 

mount -vvvvv -t nfs -o vers=3 192.168.xx.x:/d8/d8 /mnt/d8-nas
mount -vvvvv -t nfs -o vers=4 192.168.xx.x:/d8/d8 /mnt/d8-nas

 

The result is nothing.

What a mystery  "No such device"?

 I have another rockchip 3228 box with an older armbian 23.11 kernel, and nfs doesn't work there either. And I tried some different builds of 24.5 24.11 25.5. I couldn't get the nfs client to work on any of them.

 

Can you tell me how to solve this quest?

you can try:

sudo systemctl status rpcbind

if there are any problems or it's not enabled try:

sudo systemctl enable rpcbind
sudo systemctl start rpcbind
