Hi,
What storage device is serving out NFS?

Please, send the full log...

[dirarko]

Freenas 9.3. Please see the attached file for the full logs. Thanks

Hi,

please check the freenas, you have errors for the nas: 2015-07-06T12:32:22.117Z cpu6:34818 opID=e5210531)NFS: 190: NFS mount 192.168.4.17:/STORAGE-01/USERS failed: The mount request was denied by the NFS server. Check that the export exists and that the client is permitted to mount it.

And look to the document attached.

Actually it's mounting without any problem, problem starts when trying to adding a storage from it to a VM. I've tried mounting the NFS share on a Linux system and it worked

[dirarko]

I take back what I said. I changed the permissions of the shared dataset in the FreeNas server and now it's working.

Thanks

Fantastic!
I'm glad it worked for you!
