rsnapshot through nfs: failed to preserve ownership|cannot access errors

  • 772

Trying to rsnapshot to an nfs share I get some ownership and access errors, even if I can visibly do any operation on my shares with UID 1000 and GID 1000 on both server/client.

Server exports

/etc/exports

# Data (insecure for MACOS clients)
/mnt/data       172.16.10.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,insecure)

Client mounted directory

/etc/systemd/system/mnt-data.mount

[Unit]
Description=ServerData
After=network.target

[Mount]
What=172.16.10.171:/mnt/data
Where=/mnt/data
Type=nfs
Options=_netdev,auto

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Error got in crons

  1. Still not sure but adding vers=3 as mount option solved my issue, as mentionned in many parts the version 4 of nfs server does manage rights through ACL....

    So my /etc/systemd/system/mnt-data.mount should look like

    [Unit]
Description=ServerData
After=network.target

[Mount]
What=172.16.10.171:/mnt/data
Where=/mnt/data
Type=nfs
Options=_netdev,auto,vers=3

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
