I'm trying to mount an NFS share from my VMWare ESX 3.01 box, but it keeps failing. I've done a lot of searching on this forum and on FreeNAS's and while I've found a number of people with similar problems I haven't found a solution.
When I try and mount the share I get the following error in VMWare:
Error during the configuration of the host: NFSError: Unable to Mount filesystem: The mount request was denied by the NFS server. Check that the export exists and that the client is permitted to mount it.
In the Log on FreeNAS I get the following entry:
mountd[1342]: mount request denied from 10.11.11.106 for /mnt/DISK1/vmware/sirona1/d
My NFS share is set up with the path as above and I've tried the network set to 10.11.11.0/24 and 10.11.11.106/32. The disk that is shared also has FreeNAS on it, so it is formatted with UFS.
I'm posting here to check that my VMWare config is correct, I think it is as the FreeNAS box is registering the connection attempt in the logs. My VMkernal is set to 10.11.11.106 and the VMkernal gateway is set to blank, I also had it set to 10.11.11.105. I didn't think the gateway really mattered though as long as the two boxes are on the same network. I'm wondering if the problem is network based as my network is split into segments with a mask of 255.255.255.192.
TIA for any help.
