#+DESCRIPTION: Options required to mount NFS shares from FreeNAS on OpenBSD
#+TAGS[]: openbsd freebsd freenas nfs
#+KEYWORDS[]: openbsd freebsd freenas nfs

#+SUMMARY:

This is something that took me a while longer to figure out than I'd
like admit, and I was only able to figure it out because of a forum
post.

For whatever reason, I'm only able to mount the share if used the TCP
option. I'm not sure if this is a me issue, an OpenBSD issue, or a
FreeBSD issue, but I'm putting it out there in case anyone else runs
into the same problem.

If you're mounting using the =mount_nfs= command, you need to use the
=-T= option to force TCP mode. If you're using =/etc/fstab= or the
=mount= command, you're going to have to instead of the undocumented
=-o tcp= option.

That looks like either
- On the command line: =doas mount -t nfs -o tcp 192.168.0.5:/mnt/Disk/something /mnt/something=
- In =/etc/fstab=: =192.168.0.5:/mnt/Disk/something/ /mnt/something nfs rw,tcp,nosuid,nodev 0 0=

That's it!
