A script to switch boot2docker to use NFS instead of VBoxfs for speed and proper permissions

nfs-mount-boot2docker.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Note: Special network 192.162.50.3 to use Cisco Anyconnect Split tunnel.

# On OX X host you need to add a line (and file) /etc/exports:
# /Users -mapall=[youruser]:[yourgroup] [boot2dockerip]

sudo umount /Users
sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/nfs-client start
sudo mount 192.168.50.3:/Users /Users -o rw,async,noatime,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,proto=tcp

To run this script inside boot2docker:

1. Have your IP set up to the network I use here, or fork the script and edit
2. run

   curl -sSL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/sirkkalap/40261ed82386ad8a6409/raw/005b70f82992e2ea19b1cb467d05032249ef5020/nfs-mount-boot2docker.sh | bash - 

(the url is the url from Raw Gist)

To set up the boot2docker into that network: https://gist.github.com/sirkkalap/ccaac0d307ef8da08c2d#file-boot2solita-sh

Did you encounter/fix this error?

mount: RPC: Authentication error; why = Client credential too weak
mount: mounting 192.168.1.98:/Users on /Users failed: Bad file descriptor

Getting same error.

The error went away after running nfsd restart on OS X. But now, the mount command on boot2docker just hangs there and never terminates.

Oh, finally got this error message:

Starting nfs client utilities.
mount: RPC: Remote system error - Connection timed out
mount: mounting 192.168.0.101:/Users on /Users failed: Bad file descriptor
error in run: exit status 110

I finally got it to work with the default networking settings (NAT) and wrote a bash script (it will also setup the host machine): https://gist.github.com/olalonde/3f7512c0bd2bc8abb46d

curl -sSL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/sirkkalap/40261ed82386ad8a6409/raw/005b70f82992e2ea19b1cb467d05032249ef5020/nfs-mount-boot2docker.sh | bash -

umount: /Users: not currently mounted
sudo: /usr/local/etc/init.d/nfs-client: command not found
usage: mount [-dfruvw] [-o options] [-t external_type] special node
mount [-adfruvw] [-t external_type]
mount [-dfruvw] special | node

I can't find nfs-client command. How should I do ?

TOMOAKI12345 are you running that command inside of the boot2docker vm?

e.g.:

developer@machine:~$ boot2docker ssh
docker@boot2docker:~$ curl -sSL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/sirkkalap/40261ed82386ad8a6409/raw/005b70f82992e2ea19b1cb467d05032249ef5020/nfs-mount-boot2docker.sh | bash -

I resolved the: mount: RPC: Authentication error; why = Client credential too weak error by adding the following to /etc/nfs.conf:

nfs.server.mount.require_resv_port = 0

Then restarting the nfs daemon with:

nfsd restart

After a while I got it working. Thanks for the help!
