Wuala on openSUSE 10.3 with NFS support
Hi,
I am running openSUSE 10.3 and want to add the NFS support to my Wuala install. The instructions say to run "apt-get install nfs-common", which sounds like what you should do if you're running Ubuntu. However, on openSUSE I don't see any package called nfs-common. I already have the following installed by default:
nfs-client
mfsidmap
yast2-nfs-client
There are also a few more available, which I do not have installed:
nfs-kernel-server
nfs-server
yast2-nfs-server
Do you know if any of these are an equivalent to nfs-common or if any of the additional YaST package repositories like Packman has the package available?

I’m confused

I have this question, too!

Inappropriate?Yes, these instructions are for Debian-based operating systems. nfs-client is the equivalent package for SUSE.
-
Inappropriate?Cool. Thanks. That might be worth adding to the docs. One more question about the docs. It says to add the following to /etc/fstab
localhost:/wuala/home/yourname/wuala/directnfsdefaults,users,noauto,rsize=8192, wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,nolock,soft
Is yourname your wuala name or your linux username? I have wuala installed in /home/bmccann/wuala -
Inappropriate?Yes, this is your linux username "bmccann", so the line must be
localhost:/wuala /home/bmccann/wuala/direct nfs defaults,users,noauto,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,nolock,soft
Currently, we have no .rpm based linux installation - I will change that over Easter.. -
Inappropriate?Wow. An .rpm would be awesome.
I'm still having trouble with the /etc/fstab entry. The docs say:
localhost:/wuala/home/bmccann/wuala/directnfsdefaults,users,noauto,rsize=8192, wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,nolock,soft
Shouldn't it be something more like:
localhost:/wuala/home/bmccann/wuala/direct /home/bmccann/wuala/direct nfs defaults,users,noauto,rsize=8192, wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,nolock,soft
If I use what's posted in the docs I get "mount point does not exist" -
Inappropriate?Oh wait. I think I figured out what you were going for. Is it the following:
localhost:/wuala /home/bmccann/wuala/direct nfs defaults,users,noauto,rsize=8192, wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,nolock,soft
If I'm right then all the spaces are missing in the docs. You might want to check: http://wua.la/en/kb/4#id000404 -
Inappropriate?I am not going to create a Wuala rpm. I am going to install SUSE to be able to test the filesystem integration :) A Wuala rpm-package is not planned as we have our own integrated update mechanism.
And yes, you are right. There is a mistake in the docs. Your second version is right. I'll correct that. -
Inappropriate?Ah. Ok. That makes sense :o)
One other thing that I think should be changed (though I'm not sure if it's case-sensitive or not) in the /etc/fstab is to change it from /wuala to /Wuala. See below:
showmount -e localhost
Export list for localhost:
/Wuala (everyone)
However, I'm still having trouble with the nfs mount, but I'm thinking that the /etc/fstab file is correct now and that I'm having a firewall issue. Wuala says it can't find uPnP router, but I do have a uPnP router and it did work correctly on my Windows machine. Do I need to setup any exceptions in my openSUSE firewall? I went in and manually configured forwarding on my router's UDP port 7509 and still am not having any luck.

It seems your connection is not suitable for trading storage.
Please enable UPnP on your router/firewall or configure it manually to forward incoming UDP connections
on port 7509 to this computer. If you have already done so, you
might need to restart your router and/or Wuala.
I’m sad

Inappropriate?I got Wuala working on Linux today! I'm posting here in case others have trouble too. It was the Suse firewall that blocking the requests.
Under custom rules enter:
Source Network: 0/0
Protocol: UDP
Destination Port: 7509 (or whatever port you are running Wuala on).
I’m happy

Inappropriate?chengas123: great, thanks for your hint! I've just installed OpenSUSE 10.3 and had exactly this problem. Opening the port in the firewall was the solution.
Furthermore, I was able to solve the NFS mounting problem. A normal user is not able to mount a NFS share because the SUID bit of /sbin/mount.nfs is not set. Execute 'chmod u+x /sbin/mount.nfs' (as root or with sudo) and restart Wuala. After that, Wuala is able to mount the share and everything works fine. -
Inappropriate?I'm not really too familiar with SUID, but did you mean 'chmod u+s /sbin/mount.nfs'? If I add the s bit then I see readme.txt listed in the direct directory. However, I cannot get the instructions in the readme to work. Are my files supposed to be contained in "/home/bmccann/wuala/direct/chengas123"? I am not able to cd to that directory.
-
Inappropriate?yes, chmod u+s /sbin/mount.nfs .. sorry for the typo.
When you see the readme.txt, everything should be ok. What shows you the File System Integration test in the Wuala options? -
Inappropriate?I'm running the 64-bit version, so I'm running from the command line. Is that a command line option? I don't see it.
-
Inappropriate?Ok, thats the problem: the file system integration does not work for 64-bit systems :(
-
-
Inappropriate?I've written a small shellscript, that worked fine for my needs. It just sets up your fstab (a Backup is created, just for the case), sets the needed rights and installs nfs-common if your system uses apt-get
you can download it from my wuala/multimaniac/projects/ and run it as root.

I’m silly
