File Storage NAS:FAQ about troubleshooting of mount failures

Run the auto-check script to troubleshoot the failure of mounting an NFS file system on Linux

A Network File System (NFS) file system may fail to be mounted on Linux due to multiple reasons. To resolve the failure by using the auto-check script, perform the following steps:

1. Log on to the Linux ECS instance on which the file system fails to be mounted.

2. Download the auto-check script.

   wget https://nas-client-tools.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/linux_client/check_alinas_nfs_mount.py -P /tmp/

3. Run the auto-check script and check whether the returned configurations are correct.

   python2.7 /tmp/check_alinas_nfs_mount.py file-system-id.region.nas.aliyuncs.com:/ /mnt

   You can configure the parameters in the command based on your business requirements. The following list describes the parameters.

   • file-system-id.region.nas.aliyuncs.com: the domain name of the mount target for the NFS file system. To obtain the domain name of the mount target, perform the following steps: Log on to the NAS console. On the File System List page, click the ID of the file system. On the details page, click the Mount Targets tab. Then, move the pointer over the icon in the Mount Target column.

   • /: the directory of the NAS file system.

   • /mnt: the mount directory that resides on the current ECS instance.

   After you modify the mount configurations, the script returns a mount command and a message appears. This indicates that the automatic check is complete.

4. Copy and run the mount command to check the mount result.

Run the auto-check script to troubleshoot the failure of mounting an SMB file system on Windows

A Server Message Block (SMB) file system may fail to be mounted on Windows due to multiple reasons. To resolve the failure by using the auto-check script, perform the following steps:

1. Log on to the Windows ECS instance on which the file system fails to be mounted.

2. Run the following commands in PowerShell or PowerShell ISE to download and run the auto-check script. Then, perform the steps that are provided in the script.

   1. Download the auto-check script.

      Invoke-WebRequest https://nas-client-tools.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/windows_client/alinas_smb_windows_inspection.ps1 -OutFile alinas_smb_windows_inspection.ps1

   2. Run the auto-check script.

      .\alinas_smb_windows_inspection.ps1 -MountAddress abcde-123.region-id.nas.aliyuncs.com -Locale zh-CN

      In the preceding command, abcde-123.region-id.nas.aliyuncs.com specifies the mount target. Replace it with the actual mount target.

Troubleshoot the failure of mounting an SMB file system on Linux

An SMB file system may fail to be mounted on Linux due to multiple reasons. You can perform the following steps to troubleshoot the failure or check the /var/log/messages file and the output of the dmesg command.

1. Check the version of the Linux operating system.

   Linux is not highly compatible with the SMB protocol. The following table lists the Linux operating system versions that are supported by SMB file systems.

   Operating system	Version
   CentOS	CentOS 7.6 64-bit: 3.10.0-957.21.3.el7.x86_64 and later
   Alibaba Cloud Linux	Alibaba Cloud Linux 2.1903 64-bit: 4.19.43-13.2.al7.x86_64 and later Alibaba Cloud Linux 3.2104 64-bit: 5.10.23-4.al8.x86_64 and later
   Debian	Debian 9.10 64-bit: 4.9.0-9-amd64 and later
   Ubuntu	Ubuntu 18.04 64-bit: 4.15.0-52-generic and later
   openSUSE	openSUSE 42.3 64-bit: 4.4.90-28-default and later
   SUSE Linux	SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP2 64-bit: 4.4.74-92.35-default and later
   CoreOS	CoreOS 2079.4.0 64-bit: 4.19.43-coreos and later

2. Check the Common Internet File System (CIFS) client.

   Check whether the CIFS (cifs-utils) client is installed on the Linux operating system and whether mount.cifs is stored in the directory specified by the PATH environment variable.

   The following table lists the commands that you can run to check whether the CIFS client is installed. If the CIFS client is not installed or is not in the specified directory, reinstall the CIFS client. For more information, see Install a CIFS client.

   Operating system	Command
   Ubuntu	sudo apt list cifs-utils
   Debian
   RHEL	sudo yum list cifs-utils
   CentOS
   openSUSE	sudo zypper search -i cifs-utils
   SLES12-SP2
   CoreOS	which mount.cifs

3. Check the network connectivity.

   You can run the ping <VolumeDomainName> command to check the network connectivity.

   1. Check whether the Linux ECS instance and the SMB file system belong to the same Alibaba Cloud account.

      If the Linux ECS instance and the SMB file system belong to different Alibaba Cloud accounts, create an SMB file system by using the account to which the ECS instance belongs, or connect the Linux ECS instance and the SMB file system by using Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN). For more information, see Use CEN to mount a NAS file system across accounts and regions.

   2. Check whether the Linux ECS instance and the SMB file system reside in the same virtual private cloud (VPC).

      If the Linux ECS instance and the SMB file system reside in different VPCs, create another SMB file system, or connect the Linux ECS instance and the SMB file system by using CEN. For more information, see Use CEN to mount a NAS file system across VPCs in the same region.

4. Check port 445.

   • Check whether the security group of the Linux ECS instance allows access to the IP address or port 445 of the SMB file system.

     You can run the telnet <VolumeDomainName> 445 command to check the network connectivity.

     If port 445 is disabled, you must add a rule to the security group of the ECS instance for the port. For more information, see Add a security group rule.

   • Make sure that the Linux ECS instance does not attempt to connect to the network over an unsupported TCP port.

5. Check the permission group.

   Check whether the permission group of the mount target of the SMB file system allows access to the Linux ECS instance.

   If the Linux ECS instance is not allowed access, modify the configuration of the permission group. For more information, see Manage a permission group.

6. Check the mount permissions of the ECS instance administrator.

   Make sure that the administrator of the Linux ECS instance has the root or sudo permissions.

7. Check the mount command.

   Make sure that the mount command used to mount the SMB file system is valid. Command syntax:

   sudo mount -t cifs //file-system-id.region.nas.aliyuncs.com/myshare /mnt -o vers=2.0,guest,uid=0,gid=0,dir_mode=0755,file_mode=0755,mfsymlinks,cache=strict,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576

   If the parameters specified in the mount command are invalid, change the parameter settings. For more information about the mount parameters, see Mount an SMB file system on a Linux ECS instance.

8. Check the Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) settings.

   Make sure that the SELinux settings for the mount directory are valid.

9. Check the number of compute nodes on which the file system is mounted at the same time.

   Check whether the number of Linux ECS instances on which the file system is mounted exceeds 1,000.

   • If the number exceeds the upper limit, change the number based on your business scenario.

   • If the number does not exceed the upper limit, submit a ticket.

     When you submit a ticket, you must provide the file system information, the version of your Linux distribution, the mount commands, the /var/log/messages file, and the output of the dmesg command.

Troubleshoot the failure of mounting a General-purpose NFS file system on Windows

An NFS file system may fail to be mounted on Windows due to multiple reasons. You can perform the following steps to troubleshoot the failure.

1. Check the account.

   Check whether the ECS instance and the mount target belong to the same account. If the ECS instance and the mount target belong to different accounts, you can use CEN to connect the networks of the accounts and then mount the NFS file system. For more information, see Use CEN to mount a NAS file system across accounts and regions.

2. Check the network of the mount target.

   Check whether the ECS instance and the mount target belong to the same VPC. If the ECS instance and the mount target belong to different VPCs, you can use CEN to connect the VPCs and then mount the NFS file system. For more information, see Use CEN to mount a NAS file system across VPCs in the same region.

3. Check port 2049 and port 111.

   Check whether the security group of the ECS instance allows access to port 2049 and port 111 of the mount target. If the security group of the ECS instance does not allow access to port 2049 and port 111 of the mount target, modify the security group rule. For more information, see Modify a security group rule.

   You can run the telnet or Test-NetConnection command to check the connectivity of the port.

   • Run the telnet command in Command Prompt.

     telnet $mount_point.$region.nas.aliyuncs.com 2049
     telnet $mount_point.$region.nas.aliyuncs.com 111

   • Run the Test-NetConnection command in PowerShell.

     Test-NetConnection $mount_point.$region.nas.aliyuncs.com -Port 2049
     Test-NetConnection $mount_point.$region.nas.aliyuncs.com -Port 111

4. Check the permission group of the NFS file system.

   Check whether the permission group of the mount target allows access to the ECS instance. If the permission group of the mount target does not allow access to the ECS instance, modify the configuration of the permission group. For more information, see Manage a permission group.

How do I fix the error that a subdirectory does not exist?

Error message: mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting xxxx.nas.aliyuncs.com:/<dir>

This error may occur when you mount a non-existent subdirectory of a NAS file system on an ECS instance. To fix this error, you can first mount the root directory of the NAS file system. After the root directory is mounted, you can create a subdirectory for the NAS file system and mount the subdirectory. For more information, see How do I create and mount a subdirectory of a NAS file system on Linux?

What do I do if an error occurs due to conflicting ECS instance names when I mount a file system?

Issue

When you use NFSv4.0 to mount a file system on an ECS instance, the following error message is returned: mount.nfs: Operation not permitted or mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified. However, when you use NFSv3 to mount the file system on the ECS instance, the mount is successful.

Cause

This error occurs for some kernel versions of Linux. For example, you attempt to mount an NFSv4.0 file system on an ECS instance (Instance A) that has the same name as another ECS instance (Instance B). However, the NFSv4.0 file system has already been mounted on the ECS instance (Instance B).

Solution

1. Run the following command on the ECS instance that fails to be mounted:

   echo 'install nfs /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install nfs nfs4_unique_id=`cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid`' >> /etc/modprobe.d/nfs.conf

2. Restart the ECS instance during off-peak hours.

   You can also manually unmount all NFS file systems from the ECS instance and run the rmmod command to uninstall NFSv4.0 clients and NFS kernel modules.

3. Remount the NFS file system. For more information, see Mount an NFS file system.

What do I do if the mount.nfs: No such device error message is returned when I mount an NFS file system?

Issue

When you mount an NFS file system on an ECS instance, the following error message appears:

mount.nfs: No such device

Cause

If the options sunrpc tcp_slot_table_entries=128 setting in the /etc/modprobe.d/sunrpc.conf file is changed to options sunrpc tcp_slot_entries=128, the system may fail to load the sunrpc module to the kernel.

Solution

1. Change the setting in the /etc/modprobe.d/sunrpc.conf file to options sunrpc tcp_slot_table_entries=128.

2. Run the modprobe sunrpc command to load the sunrpc module.

3. Remount the NFS file system.

What do I do if the mount: can't find /root/nas in /etc/fstab error message is returned when I mount an NFS file system?

Issue

When you mount an NFS file system on an ECS instance, the following error message appears:

mount: can't find /root/nas in /etc/fstab

Cause

The command syntax may be invalid.

Solution

Run the correct mount command to mount the NFS file system. For more information about the command parameters that are used to mount NFS file systems on Linux, see Mount an NFS file system on a Linux ECS instance.

• For a General-purpose NAS file system, run one of the following commands.

  To use NFSv3 to mount the file system, run the following command:

  sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=3,nolock,proto=tcp,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,hard,timeo=600,retrans=2,noresvport file-system-id.region.nas.aliyuncs.com:/ /mnt

  To use NFSv4 to mount the file system, run the following command:

  sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=4,minorversion=0,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,hard,timeo=600,retrans=2,noresvport file-system-id.region.nas.aliyuncs.com:/ /mnt                                

• For an Extreme NAS file system, run the following command:

  sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=3,nolock,noacl,proto=tcp,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,hard,timeo=600,retrans=2,noresvport file-system-id.region.extreme.nas.aliyuncs.com:/share /mnt

In the preceding command, file-system-id.region.nas.aliyuncs.com indicates the domain name of the mount target for the NFS file system. Replace it with the actual domain name.

How do I resolve the file handle error when I mount a General-purpose NFS file system?

• Cause

  The Locking registry may not exist on the system, or the Locking registry exists but the value of Locking is not 1.

• Solution

  1. Open the Command Prompt, run the regedit command to open the Registry Editor window.

  2. Choose HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > ClientForNFS > CurrentVersion > Users > Default > Mount, right-click a blank area, and then choose New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.

  3. Change the registry name to Locking and double-click Locking. In the Edit DWORD (32-bit) Value window, change the numeric value to 1.

  4. Click OK.

  5. Restart the ECS instance.

  6. Run the following command to remount the General-purpose NFS file system:

     mount -o nolock -o mtype=hard -o timeout=60 \\file-system-id.region.nas.aliyuncs.com\!  Z:

     You must replace the drive letter Z: and the domain name file-system-id.region.nas.aliyuncs.com with the actual drive letter and domain name.

  7. Run the mount command to check whether the mount is successful.

     If the command output is similar to the following information and contains mount=hard, locking=no, and timeout=<a value that is greater than or equal to 10>, the NFS file system is mounted. Otherwise, the NFS file system fails to be mounted.

     

What do I do if error 53 is returned when I mount an SMB file system on Windows?

• Issue

  The network path is not found.

• Cause

  • The network connection fails.

  • The TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper service is not started.

  • LanmanWorkstation is not specified in the registry.

• Solution

  1. Run the ping <Domain name of the mount target> command to check whether the domain name of the mount target can be accessed and whether the latency is within the expected range.

     • If the domain name of the mount target can be pinged, go to Step b.

     • Otherwise, perform the following steps:

       • Verify that the mount command is valid. Make sure that the command does not include redundant forward slashes (/), backslashes (\), spaces, or myshare.

         To run a valid command to mount an SMB file system, use the following syntax:

         net use <Letter of the destination drive> \\<Domain name of the mount target>\myshare

         Example:

         net use z: \\xxxx.cn-hangzhou.nas.aliyuncs.com\myshare 

       • Make sure that the protocol type of the file system is SMB.

       • Make sure that the domain name of the mount target is valid.

       • Make sure that the ECS instance and the mount target reside in the same VPC.

       • If the ECS instance and the mount target do not reside in the same VPC, make sure that the VPC or VPN configurations of the ECS instance are valid.

  2. Run the telnet <Domain name of the mount target> 445 command to check whether the SMB protocol is enabled.

  3. Check whether the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper service is started. For more information, see Mount an SMB file system.

What can I do if I have enabled automatic mounting for an NFS file system but the NFS file system fails to be automatically mounted on the ECS instance?

Issue

You have enabled automatic mounting for an NFS file system. However, when the ECS instance is restarted, the NFS file system fails to be automatically mounted on the ECS instance.

Cause

The operating system of the ECS instance is CentOS 7.0. By default, CentOS 7.0 does not process non-local file systems in the fstab configuration file. The status of the remote-fs.target service is disable. Therefore, when the ECS instance is restarted, the NFS file system fails to be automatically mounted on the ECS instance.

Solutions

You can use one of the following solutions to ensure that the NFS file system is automatically mounted on the ECS instance when the ECS instance is restarted. Then, you can open the /etc/fstab configuration file to enable automatic mounting. For more information about how to enable automatic mounting for an NFS file system, see Mount an NFS file system.

• Solution 1: Resolve the issue for good

  Run the following commands in sequence to enable the remote-fs.target service:

  systemctl start remote-fs.target

  systemctl enable remote-fs.target

• Solution 2: Resolve the issue temporarily

  Run the following commands in the rc.local configuration file to enable the remote-fs.target service:

  [ !  -f /etc/rc.local ] && echo '#!/bin/bash' > /etc/rc.local; echo "mount -a -t nfs" >> /etc/rc.local; chmod +x /etc/rc.local

How do I resolve the issues that occur when I soft mount an NFS file system on Windows?

• Issue

  By default, the soft mode is used when you mount an NFS file system on Windows. However, in some scenarios, soft mounts result in data inconsistency or unexpected application exits.

  • Data inconsistency: An application sends an ECS instance a request to write data to a soft-mounted file system. If the application does not receive a response from the instance before the request times out, an error is returned even if data is written to the file system. In this case, the application determines that the request failed. However, the ECS instance determines that the request is successful. As a result, data inconsistency occurs.

  • Unexpected application exits: An application sends an ECS instance a request to access a soft-mounted file system. If the application does not receive a response from the instance before the request times out, an error is returned. In this case, an exception may be thrown based on the programming language that is used to write the application. If the exception is not handled, the application exits.

• Solution

  To prevent these issues, hard mount the NFS file system on the Windows ECS instance.

  1. Run the mount command to view the mount mode.

     • If the command output includes mount=soft, perform the following steps.

     • If the command output includes mount=hard, you do not need to perform the following steps.

  2. Stop the application that is using the NFS file system.

  3. Run the following command to unmount the NFS file system:

     umount H:

     Replace the drive letter H: based on your business requirements.

  4. Run the following command to remount the NFS file system:

     mount -o nolock -o mtype=hard -o timeout=60 \\xxxxxx.cn-hangzhou.nas.aliyuncs.com\!  h:

     Replace the domain name of the mount target xxxxxx.cn-hangzhou.nas.aliyuncs.com and the drive letter h: based on your business requirements.

  5. Run the mount command to check the mount result.

     If the command output includes mount=hard, locking=no, and timeout=<a value that is greater than or equal to 10>, the mount is successful.

How do I fix the errors that occur when I mount an NFS file system on Windows?

• Error message: Invalid file handler

  Solution: Perform the required steps and set the mount parameters to valid values to remount the file system. For more information, see Mount a General-purpose NFS file system.

• Error message: Network error 53

  Solution: Perform the required steps and configure the parameters to remount the file system. For more information, see Mount a General-purpose NFS file system.

• Error message: Network error 1222

  Solution: After you install an NFS client, remount the file system. For more information, see Step 1: Install an NFS client.

What do I do if the access denied by server while mounting <mount directory> error message is returned when I use a container to mount a file system?

Issue

When you mount a NAS file system on a container, the access denied by server while mounting <mount directory> error message is returned.

Cause

This issue occurs due to one of the following causes:

1. The mount directory does not exist.

2. The role that is used to run the container does not have the permissions to manage the NAS file system.

3. The permission group configured for the mount target does not have access permissions on the container.

Solution

1. Check whether the mount directory exists.

   You can run the cd <mount directory> command to check whether the mount directory exists.

2. Check whether the user that runs the container has the root permissions.

   If the user does not have the root permissions, you must log on to the NAS file system as the root user, change the permission attributes, and then mount the file system. This way, the permissions of the container user are the same as the permissions on the mount targets of the file system. When you mount the file system on the container, run the container in privileged mode.

3. Check whether the permission group configured for the mount target contains the container IP address.

   1. Log on to the NAS console

   2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose File System > File System List.

   3. In the top navigation bar, select a region.

   4. On the File System List page, find the file system that you want to manage and click Manage in the Actions column.

   5. On the details page of the file system, click the Mount Targets tab.

   6. In the Permission Group column of the mount target list, click the permission group name to go to the List of rules page of the permission group.

   7. Make sure that the container IP address is added to the rule of the permission group.

      If the container IP address does not exist in the rule, add the container IP address. For more information about how to add rules to a permission group, see Manage permission groups.

What do I do if I cannot batch mount file systems, batch unmount file systems, or query the mount information about an ECS instance by using Cloud Assistant?

Make sure that the values that are specified for mount parameters are valid. Troubleshoot the issue based on the error code that is returned in the command output. For more information, see Error messages. Attempt to mount a file system on an ECS instance and check the result. If the mount still fails, troubleshoot the issue based on the returned error message.

You can mount a file system on an ECS instance in the NAS console. If the mount still fails, troubleshoot the issue based on the returned error message.

Why am I unable to mount a file system by using the NAS console?
