[PROBLEM] Ethernet works fine playing music, Wi-Fi doesn't

[Tim Curtis]

Leave WiFi as configured, reboot and then look at the status for the NFS share you are mounting.

Code:

mount | grep nfs4

Example from one of my systems that mounts an NFS share hosted on another Pi.

Code:

pi@moode:~ $ mount | grep nfs4
192.168.1.199:/media/VFAT128/FLAC on /mnt/NAS/TRX-NFS-FLAC type nfs4 (ro,relatime,vers=4.2,rsize=131072,wsize=131072,namlen=255,soft,proto=tcp,timeo=10,retrans=1,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.1.121,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.1.199)

Before reboot, with Ethernet:

Code:

joe@wireless:~ $ mount | grep nfs4
192.168.18.16:/media/depot/audio/audio on /mnt/NAS/TheTome type nfs4 (ro,relatime,vers=4.2,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,soft,proto=tcp,timeo=10,retrans=1,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.18.30,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.18.16)

After reboot, without Ethernet:

Nothing.

After reboot, with Ethernet:

Code:

joe@wireless:~ $ sudo mount | grep nfs4
192.168.18.16:/media/depot/audio/audio on /mnt/NAS/TheTome type nfs4 (ro,relatime,vers=4.2,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,soft,proto=tcp,timeo=10,retrans=1,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.18.30,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.18.16)

I'm not proficient with NFS aside from looking up stuff to set it up, so I don't know what differences I'd be looking for. But... it seems to me that the 'clientaddr' needs to point to my Wi-Fi address, not my Ethernet address. Granted, with just Wi-Fi, it's not mounting anything at all, and a 'mount -a' isn't doing anything... and I've just remembered that I don't have any NFS mounts in the new fstab that I might have had in the old one. Still... it mounted with an Ethernet connection and ignored Wi-Fi.

 If I'm right, then how do I fix it?

And congratulations for 10 years, while I'm thinking about it!

It sounds like an NFS server config issue.

Maybe configure your server so that the exports can be accessed by the entire subnet or alternatively by a list of specific  IP addresses. The NFS server options should also include "no_root_squash"

Below is the help for moOde's built in NFS server for reference.
