NFS doesn't work
Often NFS in container does not work because of misconfiguration. This article contains known reasons of such problems as well as solutions for those.
Mount hangs
Symptoms
mount command hangs or takes a very long time to complete:
# mount <ip address>:/pub /data (...hangs here...)
Reasons
- Lockd is not running on the NFS server
- Portmap is not running on the NFS client
- Networking is broken (e.g. scripts brought up default route but not IP address yet)
Solution
Two options are possible:
- run lockd on the server
- mount with nolock option
