1056049 - Vagrant: Document further NFS share troubleshooting steps

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tree Management :: Treeherder, defect, P3)

Description

[Sylvestre Ledru [:Sylvestre]]

Running a Debian jessie (aka testing) with the regular Ubuntu 32 bit version.
I installed NFS on both host + slave.

"vagrant up" fails with
-----
The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!

mount -o 'vers=3,udp' 192.168.33.1:'/home/sylvestre/dev/mozilla/treeherder-service' /home/vagrant/treeherder-service

Stdout from the command:



Stderr from the command:

stdin: is not a tty
mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported

As mdoglio told me, the following patch fixed my issue:

What version of Vagrant are you using btw?

Also https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/1744 seems relevant.

Worst case we could add platform conditionals in the Vagrantfile to not use NFS on debian, but iirc the perf is quite a bit worse, so seems better if we can find the root cause.

I am using vagrant 1.4.3+dfsg1-2 (Debian package).

Comment 3

[Ed Morley [:emorley]]

v1.6.3 is the latest - maybe try that?

I am sorry Ed but I am using packages provided in the Debian archive and Vagrant is the 1.4.3 last one available.

There's a Debian package available direct from http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html

Comment 7

[Sylvestre Ledru [:Sylvestre]]

Well, it is Ubuntu and I usually try to avoid upstream Deb packages since they might not have the same quality as Debian official packages.

But I will give it a try :)

Not sure if this is still relevant but I ran into the exact same error while setting up vagrant and treeherder-service last night. I'm on Debian Testing as well and my version of Vagrant is 1.6.5. 

I got it working by stopping and re-starting the nfs-kernel-server.service. More specifically, I ran these commands:
systemctl stop nfs-kernel-server.service
systemctl disable nfs-kernel-server.service
systemctl enable nfs-kernel-server.service
systemctl start nfs-kernel-server.service

Got the unlinkely solution from this thread on Arch forums: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=183608 (second last comment). I don't know if it's just me but posting this here so anyone else stuck could get some help. I'm currently running it without any problems and I didn't need to apply the patch involving the removal of nfs from the Vagrantfile.
