RancherOS 1.5 RC - NFS Mount

bott0r · December 4, 2018, 3:12pm

Hey Ho, quite the beginner here, I am using RancherOS for homelab use.

In previous versions I mounted my NFS shares to different folders in RancherOS/mnt/ using the nfs client, my nfs.yml looked like this, and it worked just fine. In my containers i just added volumes /mnt/data:/mnt/data and so on

#/var/lib/rancher/conf/cloud-config.d/nfs.yml
write_files:
  - path: /etc/rc.local
    permissions: "0755"
    content: |
      #!/bin/bash
      [ ! -e /usr/bin/docker ] && ln -s /usr/bin/docker.dist /usr/bin/docker

rancher:
  services:
    nfs:
      image: d3fk/nfs-client
      labels:
        io.rancher.os.after: console, preload-user-images
        io.rancher.os.scope: system
      net: host
      privileged: true
      restart: always
      volumes:
        - /usr/bin/iptables:/sbin/iptables:ro
        - /mnt/data:/mnt/data:shared
        - /mnt/data2:/mnt/data2:shared
      environment:
        SERVER: 192.168.0.2
        SHARE: /mnt/volume01/data
        MOUNTPOINT: /mnt/data

#cloud-config
mounts:
  - ["192.168.0.2:/mnt/volume02/data2", "/mnt/data2", "nfs", ""]

after setting up a new host i thought i’d try 1.5RC which installed quite quickly and easy. Great.
Now I wanted to mount my NFS shares and tried the same thing, which ultimately did not work. Then i noticed that normal sudo mount commands work perfectly fine. So here is my question if i’d like to mount an nfs share to my host how would i do it?

#workd out of the box
sudo mount -o nfsvers=4,port=2049,nolock,proto=tcp -t nfs 192.168.0.2:/mnt/volume01/data /mnt/data

It works like somewhat, if anyone else has an idea

#/var/lib/rancher/conf/cloud-config.d/nfs-data.yml  first part working

write_files:
  - path: /etc/rc.local
    permissions: "0755"
    content: |
      #!/bin/bash
      [ ! -e /usr/bin/docker ] && ln -s /usr/bin/docker.dist /usr/bin/docker
rancher:
  services:
    nfs:
      image: walkerk1980/rancher-nfs-client
      net: host
      privileged: true
      restart: always
      volumes:
        - /usr/bin/iptables:/sbin/iptables:ro
        - /mnt/data:/mnt/data:shared
      environment:
        SERVER: 192.168.0.2
        MOUNT_OPTIONS: port=2049,nolock
        SHARE: /mnt/volume01/data
        MOUNTPOINT: /mnt/data

What did not work is creating a simple start.sh script as suggested somewhere.

#cloud-config
write_files:
  - path: /opt/rancher/bin/start.sh
    permissions: "0755"
    owner: root
    content: |
      #!/bin/bash
      sudo mount -t nfs4 192.168.0.2:/mnt/volume01/data /mnt/data

also did not work, the folders get created in /mnt but nothing is mounted.

bott0r · December 6, 2018, 1:02pm

Coming back to this. Without a nfs client i can just mount via a simple line:
sudo mount -t nfs4 192.168.0.2:/mnt/volume01/data /mnt/data

However when i translate thet line to a cloudconfig with either:

#/var/lib/rancher/conf/cloud-config.d/z.yml
mounts:
- ["192.168.0.2:/mnt/volume01/data", "/mnt/data", "nfs4", ""]

or with

ros config set mounts '[["192.168.0.2:/mnt/volume01/data", "/mnt/data1", "nfs4", ""]]'

it just doesnt work, what am i missing, i crawled by now through the documentation that is available or cached 404 pages, along side closed github issues. does anyone have a pointer here?

kind/question

**RancherOS Version: (ros os version)** v1.4.0 **Where are you running Ranch…erOS? (docker-machine, AWS, GCE, baremetal, etc.)** AWS I am attempting to use cloud-config to format and mount the ephemeral instance store in a new m5d instance: ``` #cloud-config bootcmd: - [ mkfs.ext2, /dev/nvme1n1 ] mounts: - [ /dev/nvme1n1, /storage, ext2, "" ] rancher: docker: extra_args: - "-g" - /storage ``` When the instance starts up, `/storage` exists, and user-docker has put its state there. However, `nvme1n1` is not formatted, and there is no mount on `/storage` Any ideas? I have been unable to find any logs or errors that show what is happening during the bootstrap.

Try using runcmd:

#cloud-config
runcmd:
  - [ mkfs.ext2, /dev/nvme1n1 ]
  - [ mkdir, -p, /storage]
  - [ mount, -t, ext2, /dev/nvme1n1, /storage ]

bott0r · December 10, 2018, 7:01am

I tried various combinations and it wont work for me on 1.5.
this is the last i tried.

#cloud-config
runcmd:
- [ mkdir, -p, /mnt/storage]
- [ mkdir, -p, /mnt/data]
- [ "mount", "-t", "nfs4","192.168.0.2:/mnt/volume01/data", "/mnt/data" ]

Folders get created, but nothing will be mounted, if i take the quotation marks away ros config validate will complain. anything else i could try?

I use RancherOS 1.4.2 rancheros-vmware.iso successfully mount directory form my nfs server.
RancherOS mount command is build from busybox, not the GNU mount command, so there maybe some different.RancherOS has no mount.nfs & mount.nfs4 which installed by nfs-common by default, so without mount.nfs... user need to add options.

#cloud-config
mounts:
- ["192.168.1.109:/mnt/data", "/mnt/test", "nfs4", "nolock,proto=tcp,addr=192.168.1.109"]

output:

[root@rancheros-nfs docker]# ls /mnt/test
1.txt

bott0r · December 11, 2018, 10:43am

hey,
I am on RancherOS 1.5-RC-1 and thes rancheros.iso Releases · rancher/os · GitHub

These are the file contents for the mount, the test folder is created after a reboot but its still not mounted. I tried the command sudo mount -o nolock -t nfs4 192.168.0.2:/mnt/volume01/data /mnt/data

It shows the content:

[rancher@beta /]$ sudo mount -o nolock -t nfs4 192.168.0.2:/mnt/volume01/data /mnt/data

[rancher@beta /]$ ls /mnt/data

Physics Complete ToCheckToDelete docker friends important sorted-data
[rancher@beta /]$

when using a file in cloud-config.d with the content it just wont show. I am wondering if the issue is with rancher1.5

#/var/lib/rancher/conf/cloud-config.d/z.yml
mounts:
- ["192.168.0.2:/mnt/volume01/data", "/mnt/test", "nfs4", "nolock,proto=tcp,addr=192.168.0.2"]

bott0r · December 11, 2018, 1:06pm

It worked for me on 1.4.2 but not 1.5

I also try on 1.5.0-rc1 rancheros.iso, the result is success.

I also tried a share that doesnt have numbers, just in case but to no avail.

I have 3 Rancher bare metal system up and running 2 1.5-rc1 and 1.4.2 (mounts perfectly fine) also if i install another nfs-client it works as well as mentioned above. Any special configs i need to be aware of.

Of course everything manual works perfect too:

[root@beta mnt]# sudo mount -t nfs4 192.168.0.2:/mnt/evo/VirtualMachines /mnt/test2
[root@beta mnt]# cd test2/
[root@beta test2]# ls
RawFile_RanchreOS  test.txt
[root@beta test2]#
