Hello,
I have a Pi4 set up sharing an external 4TB SSD as via NFS to a Pi3. I purchased an 8TB SSD and am trying to get it working, which I thought would be an easy swap, but when I replace the drive and mount it to the same mount point on my Pi4, the Pi3 no longer mounts it. The only difference I know of is that the original drive is formatted as NTFS and the new drive is exFAT.
Pi4 /etc/fstabOf course, I switch which line is commented out above depending on which drive is attached at boot.
Pi4 /etc/exportsPi3 /etc/fstabWhen I mount the new exFAT drive, other devices on my network can see it as a SAMBA share, but for some reason my Pi3 refuses to mount it via NFS. I can't understand why the Pi4 isn't correctly sharing the exFAT drive via NFS. What log(s) should I be checking for issues? I had assumed that if the new drive is mounted to the same mount point (/data) that everything else would work, but this doesn't seem to be the case.
