Mounting NFS from Edge Node with Kerberos

New Contributor

I am getting an error similar to the one asked about in the question "Problems with Kerberos (NFS and File View)" except my File View and Hadoop fs commands work fine with Kerberos. I have used the Kerberos Wizard and checks completed with no errors. I double checked the settings of the NFS Gateway to ensure it was correctly configured by the Wizard and it matched the instructions for the version of HDP I am running (2.6.1).

Here is what I get from the edge node when attempting a mount

[root@smhadoop-edge ~]# klist klist: No credentials cache found (filename: /tmp/krb5cc_0)
[root@smhadoop-edge ~]# kinit WilsonC 
Password for WilsonC@NA.CORNING.COM:

mount.nfs: mount(2): Permission denied
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting smhadoop01:/

However the normal Hadoop commands work fine with Kerberos

[root@smhadoop-edge ~]# hadoop fs -mkdir /user/WilsonC/testing 
[root@smhadoop-edge ~]# hadoop fs -ls /user/WilsonC 
Found 1 items drwxr-xr-x  - WilsonC hdfs  0 2017-07-16 13:02 /user/WilsonC/testing

Any help is much appreciated. I am also working on getting Kerberos to work correctly with NFS on Windows if anybody has any pointers.

Please make sure that you have set hadoop.proxyuser.<nfs-user>.hosts property in core-site.xml to '*' or you have your hostname as a part of value of this property from where you are trying to mount NFS.

Sorry, I am still working out this forums mechanics and I posted an answer when I meant to post a Reply.

@Kuldeep Kulkarni, Thank you for your response.

The user running the NFS Gateway appears to be the hdfs user per the following ps dump

And the core-site.xml settings seem to reflect the values you are looking for

[root@smhadoop01 ~]# grep -B1 -A2 proxyuser\.hdfs /etc/hadoop/conf/core-site.xml
    <property>
      <name>hadoop.proxyuser.hdfs.groups</name>
      <value>*</value>
    </property>
--
    <property>
      <name>hadoop.proxyuser.hdfs.hosts</name>
      <value>*</value>
    </property>

And I am able to mount the NFS export on the edge node if I don't enable Kerberos security

[root@smhadoop-edge ~]# mount smhadoop01:/ /mnt
[root@smhadoop-edge ~]# mount | grep smhadoop01
smhadoop01:/ on /mnt type nfs (rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=10.180.104.161,mountvers=3,mountport=4242,mountproto=udp,local_lock=none,addr=10.180.104.161)

This really appears to be a problem negotiating Kerberos security on the share.
