I was following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo in two KVM machines using 18.10 and then https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Autofs/ (note you need linux-generic to get autofs4 module)
In exports I have /export/users/testmount 192.168.122.0/24(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,async) $ sudo mkdir -p /export/users/testmount $ sudo touch /export/users/testmount/testfile After that in my case I can mount it like: sudo mount -v -t nfs 192.168.122.55:/export/users/testmount /mnt Now trying that via automount: $ echo "/nfs/ /etc/auto.nfs" | sudo tee -a /etc/auto.master $ sudo mkdir -p /nfs/testmount $ echo "testmount -fstype=nfs,rw,retry=0 192.168.122.55:/export/users/testmount" | sudo tee -a /etc/auto.nfs $ ll /nfs/testmount/testfile -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 1 10:43 /nfs/testmount/testfile The mount works just fine and it is v4 (from mount) 192.168.122.55:/export/users/testmount on /nfs/testmount type nfs4 (rw,relatime,vers=4.2,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.122.226,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.122.55) It must be something to your local configuration that is different. I have to ask you to try setting up two clean VMs as well and then modifying the config I used to step by step to match yours. That should either reveal which change broke your case. Or you'll end up with a step by step howto that developers can follow to further debug your case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1818121 Title: NFSv4 shares are not mounted: mount(nfs): no hosts available To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs/+bug/1818121/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
