Re: Mondoarchive failed on CentOS 7.2

Hi Rick,

thank you for your answer, the NFS server is an QNAP TS-421-U and the permissions are given throught allowing IP address. (Access right: No Limit, Squash option: NO_ROOT_SQUASH)
But I solved the problem now with manually mounting (to /mnt/isodir) and then I did following:
  - run mondorestore, then choose "Interactively" and "Hard disk"
  - Prefix: <you files-prefix >
  - ISO Mode - device: keep blank
  - ISO Mode - format: keep blank
  - Are you restoring from an external hard drive: NO
  - ISO Mode - path: /mnt/isodir/<your path to your images> (e.g. /mnt/isodir/Images/mycomp)

Thanks again.

Regards 
Zbynek

It appears that that your NFS server doesn't support NLM side-band locking or your client isn't sending credentials along with the lock request (if this is during the restore, Mindi probably doesn't send credentials). In either case, you have to use "-o nolock" on the mount.

You didn't say what OS your NFS server is running. You might be able to export the share with the "insecure_locks" or "no_auth_nlm" options (both options mean the same thing) and the (flawed) Mindi client might be able to mount it without specifying "-o nolock". Never tried it myself, but it's worth a shot.
