Issue mounting StarWind NFS volume

[rob548]

Hello all,

I was able to easily download and install the StarWind free appliance on VMware Fusion, which is running on my Mac. I then created a couple iscsi luns, as well as an NFS volume.
I have another VM running CentOS7 from which I was able to mount the iscsi luns without a problem. But every time I try to mount the NFS volume I get an error: "mount.nfs: Operation not permitted"

I've verified that the NFS daemon is running on the StarWind and I've configured the NFS share to enable r/w from all IPs, but still can't mount it. Ping works ok from the CentOS7 VM to the StarWind appliance.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks much

Can you please tell me about the networking in between? Is there any sort of firewall?
Could you please share the output from /etc/fstab on the client VM?
Also try https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/d ... ed/14612/5 and this approach (yes, it is for a different distro) https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=278667

Thanks for the recommendation.
I noticed that my client VM's network was set to NAT. I switched it to Bridged and that took care of the problem. I can mount the NFS volume w/o a hitch now.
