PfSense as NFS Server

[nemysis]

Have AMD Turion II Dual Core Neo N40L for pfSense with 250GB Hardisk, and Sharkoon QuickPort Quattro, Docking-Station for SATA HDs with two 1TB Harddisks to share with NFS on mine LAN, which is on Netgear ProSafe GS108E, 8 Port Gigabit Switch

pfSense IP Address 192.168.2.101, ADSL Modem 192.168.1.110

pfSense /etc/exports

/data1 -maproot=1000 -network 192.168.2.0/24
/data2 -maproot=1000 -network 192.168.2.0/24

pfSense /etc/fstab

FreeBSD /etc/fstab

Network File System, only for Client

192.168.2.101:/zajedno1  /data1      nfs    rw,noatime      0      0
192.168.2.101:/zajedno2  /data2      nfs    rw,noatime      0      0

This is the same as in FreeBSD default

grep nfs /etc/defaults/rc.conf

netfs_types="nfs:NFS nfs4:NFS4 smbfs:SMB portalfs:PORTAL nwfs:NWFS" # Net filesystems.

Network daemon (NFS): All need rpcbind_enable="YES"

nfs_client_enable="NO"          # This host is an NFS client (or NO).
nfs_access_cache="60"           # Client cache timeout in seconds
nfs_server_enable="NO"          # This host is an NFS server (or NO).
nfs_server_flags="-u -t -n 4"   # Flags to nfsd (if enabled).
mountd_flags="-r"               # Flags to mountd (if NFS server enabled).
nfs_reserved_port_only="NO"     # Provide NFS only on secure port (or NO).
nfs_bufpackets=""               # bufspace (in packets) for client
rpc_lockd_enable="NO"           # Run NFS rpc.lockd needed for client/server.
rpc_statd_enable="NO"           # Run NFS rpc.statd needed for client/server.
nfsv4_server_enable="NO"        # Enable support for NFSv4
nfscbd_enable="NO"              # NFSv4 client side callback daemon
nfscbd_flags=""                 # Flags for nfscbd
nfsuserd_enable="NO"            # NFSv4 user/group name mapping daemon
nfsuserd_flags=""               # Flags for nfsuserd

For NFS Server have I in FreeBSD /etc/rc.conf

Network File System

For NFS Server and Client

rpcbind_enable="YES"
nfsuserd_enable="YES"

For NFS Server

mountd_enable="YES"
mountd_flags="-r -p NFS-Port"
#mountd_flags="-r"
nfs_server_enable="YES"
nfsv4_server_enable="YES"
rpc_lockd_enable="YES"
rpc_statd_enable="YES"

For NFS Client

#nfs_client_enable="YES"
#nfscbd_enable="YES"

End Network File System

How can I use this rc.conf Settings in pfSense, I knew that is there central configuration /cf/conf/config.xml for all and in /etc
have manu rc. files, but not normaly /etc/rc.conf.

Is safe to make a new /etc/rc.conf with this settings, or where should I write this Settings?

If I start NFS Server with

/etc/rc.d/rpcbind onestart

/etc/rc.d/mountd onestart

/etc/rc.d/nfsd onestart

Then works pfSense as NFS Server, but not usable as NFSv4 which I need.

Thanks

Not sure I would use firewall as NFS server. It also looks like you fstab is backwards. Should it not be:

<ipaddress>:/data1 /zajedno1    nfs …..

Even if you did a reboot might and an upgrade certainly would reconfigure the exports for you. There are better things out there to do that with, like freeNAS or openNAS ...</ipaddress>
