NFS issues: no such file or directory

[Arevall]

I'm trying to share a USB-mounted harddrive to the network with NFS. I'm using latest tomato release by shibby (tomato-K26USB-1.28.RT-N5x-MIPSR2-109-AIO-64K)

I get the share to show up in the network, but when I try to connect the client receives "access denied by server".

It's probably some blunder I've done, but I can't seem to figure it out.

Settings:
Harddrive is mounted as /tmp/mnt/Elements

/etc/exports:
/tmp/mnt/Elements/export 192.168.1.43/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,insecure)

showmounts returns
/tmp/mnt/Elements/export/ 192.168.1.43/24

Server log:
May 29 21:38:33 unknown daemon.notice mountd[1719]: authenticated mount request from 192.168.1.43:924 for /tmp/mnt/Elements/export (/tmp/mnt/Elements/export)
May 29 21:38:33 unknown daemon.warn mountd[1719]: getfh failed: No such file or directory

The directory definitely exists, so I'm a bit confused. Any help from a more experienced user would be almost wildly appricated!

Edit: I'm using ntfs, don't know if this could be problematic? No issues sharing the files with samba or accessing them from the router.

Just read this:
"the problem with ntfs-3g is that it is not posix compliant so you need to use the "no_root_squash" option"

So I tried this, but It didnt help

Ok, it might be the ntsf that is problematic, maybe something with the ownership?

I mounted a second usb device to my router, with EXT3.

I could successfully mount a empty directory.

Then I used: mount --bind /mnt/Elements/Root/Serier /mnt/Secondusb/Serier

I still can't access the folder on my usb hdd though. Any ideas?

NTFS isn't fully supported by NFS, you have to use a Linux native FS.

Thanks Merlin. I suspected it for quite some time but some sources said it should work.

Since my USB-stick mounted I've already begun copying the ntfs partition to a ext3 partition.

I appreciate your reply.
