"/mnt/nvme1 does not support NFS export"

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Running an OpenWRT (24.10.0) One here with a 256GB M.2 NVMe card installed.
The /etc/exports contains:

/mnt/nvme1    *(rw,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,sync,fsid=0)

showmount reports:

root@OpenWrt-One:~# showmount -e localhost
Export list for localhost:
/mnt/nvme1 *
root@OpenWrt-One:~#

... but exportfs reports this:

root@OpenWrt-One:~# exportfs -ra
exportfs: /mnt/nvme1 does not support NFS export
root@OpenWrt-One:~#

Have I misunderstood something? Or not installed all the required drivers?
Can/should the nvme support an NFS export?

Regards, Martin

hi, what kind of file system you used for nvme1 ?

Thank for getting back.
I though I had ext4. But on checking, I'm not sure.
Can you offer a check-list to provision a new nvme card. Spending the last couple of hours read the multitude of tutorials on setting up usb disc storage, I am lost!
Regards, M.

Are you sure backing store is already mounted?

5

So please either mount | grep nvme or check via LuCI -> System -> Mount Points.

No mounted nvme?

Install `fdisk`, `kmod-fs-ext4`, `e2fsprogs`, and `block-mount`

Delete existing partition: 
`fdisk /dev/nvme0n1`
Press `d` to delete the current partition
Press `w` to write changes and exit `fdisk`

Create a New partition:
Relaunch `fdisk /dev/nvme0n1`
Press `n` to create a new partition. Follow the steps to use the default start and specify partition size (e.g. +1000GB)
Press `t` to change partition type - default should be ext4 (change if needed)
Press `w` to write changes and exit `fdisk`
`df -h` to verify partition.

Format the partition:
`mkfs.ext4 /dev/nvme0n1p1`

Create mount point:
`mkdir -p /mnt/ssd`

Configure `fstab` for Auto-mount:
`block info` and copy the UUID of your SSD

Configure `fstab` for Auto-mount:
`nano /etc/config/fstab`
Add to the end:

config mount
        option target '/mnt/ssd'
        option uuid 'add your UUID'
        option enabled '1'

save and exit
reboot

Do I want to remove signature?

Looks like this came raw.
Respond Yes and report back.

You can cr#ate filesystem on whole disk.

Thank you all very much.
All working now! I don't think others will lean much from this conversation - except that I was probably not very logical in setting up my NFS share :blush:

Regards, M.

Yes. That was why I told you to respond [Yes]. It probably would have been OK to say [No], but I really wasn't sure how you originally provisioned it.
