Linux file server and NFS V2 issue

HI Linux Experts

we have in our environment EMC clariion and VNX5300 both working as SAN and NAS

we moved everything to VSAN even our file servers we are using right now virtual appliance like Nexenta Store ans EMC unity

till now we dont have any issues with these virtual appliance but we have any machine which read data from our file system one file system shared (( SMB for windows users and NFS for this machine and linux users ))

but this old machine can understand only NFS V2 when i try to mount a shared file system from Nexenta store or EMC unity it dose not work

so i tried to mount for test this file system on centos VM with this command

# mount -t nfs -o vers=2 192.168.111:/sword /swordone/
mount.nfs: mount point /swordone is not a directory
# mount -t nfs -o vers=2 192.168.8.147:/sword/cnc /swordone/
mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported

so the issue look like NFS V2 not supported on these new virtual appliance or maybe cloud be another reason

so my question do you know any virtual appliance work as NAS 100 % can support NFSV2 something like freenas or anything that i can make test with to make sure the issue not related to NFS V2

any idea here ?

QNAP seems to support it still..

hi thanks

but i am searching for virtual appliance not a physical storage

noci

Oh most linux distro's should be capable to do it. Take debian + nfs server... and add a directory to /etc/exports.

I don't want to install file server myself

I want something like free nas or open filer which supports nfs v2

Do you think open filer support nfs v2 ?
