I'm trying to connect a NFS share to XenCenter. The NFS server is a ZFSGuru distro (uses FreeBSD).
The zfs volume was exported like this:
/sbin/zfs set sharenfs="on" temppool/share
According to "showmount", it's available:
showmount -e
/temppool/share Everyone
However, when I try to connect to it with XenServer (so it can be used as storage for VHD), I get the following error:
Internal error:Failure("Storage_access failed with: SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_73: [; NFS mount error[opterr=mount failed with return code 32]; ]")
Anyone got an idea?
Update:
This is from the log on the NFS server:

It seems XenServer is able to create the directories, but is enable to mount them afterwards.

XenServer tries to directly mount the subfolders under your share (e.g. /temppool/share/7c8d3f2f-e0e0-5263-ccad-1cd32a4139cf). These folders have to be exported via your NFS-Server.
