      From your recent screenshots, I assume that you are wanting to create an NFS SR. If that's correct, then you can ignore my earlier comment about Settings > Remotes.

      Are you receiving the error when you click the Search button (magnifying glass icon) after entering the IP address?

        @Danp yes, it takes a long time but eventually I get the error messages you can see in the screenshot of logs

        that is: "Cannot read property 'nfs-exports' of null"

        if it helps any the server is running nfs 4, I'm struggling to figure out how to monitor logs from it but if anyone wants to give me a tip on that I can then post any error messages I get from the server side too.

          I assume you are running XO from sources. Have you tried with XOA?

          Also, you may want to review this issue -- https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/1845

          hoerup created this issue in vatesfr/xen-orchestra

          closed Can't create ISO NFS SR via XOA #1845

            @Danp yeah I used the installerupdater script, not 100% sure what the difference is between the two but I'll read up, and will check that link, ty

                "rpc mount export: RPC: Timed out"

                some more images, I also tried on a laptop I had lying around, same issue, and I found some entries in firewall logs showing it blocking xcp-ng at some random ephemeral ports.

                also not that it really helps but I can showmount from the server to the server so at least nfs is replying to requests even if it's just from itself

                  @dewittgarry a small tip. You can upload or "paste" images directly here in the forum instead of going through imgurl 🙂

                    @S-Pam Thank you. Got too used to reddit's garbage handling of images imgur became a habit.

                      @linkandzelda what OS do you use as the NFS server?

                      confirm with rpcinfo

                      rpcinfo -p 192.168.100.1

                        There was a recent commit on Github dealing with NFS mounts. Suggest that you rebuild with the latest source and then try setting up the NFS storage again.
