Summary

Error

By performing VMwareGRE for a linux VM host, we need to configure NFS share on this host to be able to recover the file to this host.

The VMwareGRE agent is about to mount the vmhost:/ for the recovery so we need to configure the NFS share service on VM machine accordingly.

For example, we want recovered files to be copied to /tmp/recovery, it is suggested to configure the /etc/exports with following:

/tmp/recovery *(rw, fsid=0, no_root_squash)

Which:

Export the /tmp/recovery as /

Allow Read/Write

Does not check the root permission for access to this share.

Otherwise, we might see following error in debug:
