Hi All, Apologies if this question has been handled before or its a silly mistake of mine. I have a TS-7553 I am learning quite a bit on. My current goal is to get an NBD session working as a client in the '7553 so I can backup my code to another Linux box. The box I want to backup onto is called "WebEye" and is on 10.0.0.127 - it is a Debian box - I setup nbd-server (version 2.9.16) using an apt-get install etc. It appears to work just fine. It requires a config file which I created where it wanted it. Into the config file I put [generic] [export] exportname = /mnt/dhini port = 7600 The file dhini I created with the dd command then ran the mke2fs.
I was (later) able to mount it and create a file on it. (hey, this is a good feeling for a newbie!) I can see the server is running with 'ps -A' -- now the problem -- On the TS7552 (on 10.0.0.122) I cannot get nbd-client (version 2.8.4) to work fully. (I can ping each machine from the other, on the same lan) with the command "nbd-client 10.0.0.127 7600 /mnt/dhini it comes back with "Error : can not open NBD: no such file or directory" Clearly this looks like my excited fingers mis-typing something. No it is not. I tried all the obvious (silly) things like looking for trailing spaces after the export name, removing leading spaces between the '=' and the name. I tried mounting the '/mnt/dhini' file on the WebEye box and that works fine (as above) - then trying the
nbd-client code on the '7553 and that makes no difference. The man pages talk about the server not checking that the file exists when it is started - only when a client connects does it check. Fine. I created the file I am trying to serve as 'root'. I used chmod 777 on it. I can "ls" the file. It really really appears to be there and the name is fine! I am running everything on both machines as root. I tried giving a bad port number to the client and it reports instantly that the connection was refused (meaning it cannot see the server). My guess is that my versions of nbd-server and nbd-client are not happy talking to each other with the default simplistic configurations -or- my version of nbd-server is not serving the file name properly. Maybe. Can anyone please shed some light on my
problem? Kind regards - Richard VK3TXD __._,_.___
