Hi,

I can mount a NFS share from an AL box.
But I cannot from an AL LXC on same box (same share) :(
Everything is running latest stable version.

nfstest:~# mount -t nfs -o ro nfsserver:/srv/boot/alpine /mnt
mount.nfs: Operation not permitted
mount: permission denied (are you root?)

nfstest:~# tail /var/log/messages
Apr  4 10:05:59 nfstest daemon.notice rpc.statd[431]: Version 1.3.1 starting
Apr  4 10:05:59 nfstest daemon.warn rpc.statd[431]: Flags: TI-RPC
Apr  4 10:05:59 nfstest daemon.warn rpc.statd[431]: Failed to read
/var/lib/nfs/state: Address in use
Apr  4 10:05:59 nfstest daemon.notice rpc.statd[431]: Initializing NSM state
Apr  4 10:05:59 nfstest daemon.warn rpc.statd[431]: Failed to write NSM
state number: Operation not permitted
Apr  4 10:05:59 nfstest daemon.warn rpc.statd[431]: Running as root.
chown /var/lib/nfs to choose different user

This log is when starting rpc.statd not when trying to mount the share.

nfstest:~# ls -l /var/lib/nfs
total 12
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root             0 Nov 10 15:43 etab
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root             0 Nov 10 15:43 rmtab
drwx------    2 nobody   root          4096 Apr  4 10:05 sm
drwx------    2 nobody   root          4096 Apr  4 10:05 sm.bak
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root             4 Apr  4 10:05 state
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root             0 Nov 10 15:43 xtab

any clue?

dmesg should tell you that grsecurity tries to prevent you to do this.

grsecurity does not permit the syscall mount from within a chroot since
that is a way to break out of a chroot. This affects lxc containers too.

I would recommend that you do the mouting from the lxc host in the
container config with lxc.mount.entry or similar.

https://linuxcontainers.org/lxc/manpages/man5/lxc.container.conf.5.html#lbAR

If you still want disable mount protection in grsecurity then you
can do that with:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/grsecurity/chroot_deny_mount

this is not working with

lxc.mount.entry=nfsserver:/srv/boot/alpine mnt nfs nosuid,intr 0 0

backend:~# lxc-start -n nfstest
lxc-start: conf.c: mount_entry: 2049 Invalid argument - failed to mount
'nfsserver:/srv/boot/alpine' on '/usr/lib/lxc/rootfs/mnt'
lxc-start: conf.c: lxc_setup: 4163 failed to setup the mount entries for
'nfstest'
lxc-start: start.c: do_start: 688 failed to setup the container
lxc-start: sync.c: __sync_wait: 51 invalid sequence number 1. expected 2
lxc-start: start.c: __lxc_start: 1080 failed to spawn 'nfstest'
