如何将 AWS EFS 挂载到 Macbook 或本地计算机

Question

I am trying to mount AWS EFS to my local macbook (Also other local computers) However, after trying so many things, it is not working.

My port 22 and 2049 is wide open as a testing.

I tried few command like mount -t nfs4 -o nfservers=4.1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/ efs/

But I am keep getting connection timed out error.

Also I tried mounting this EFS to another AWS account EC2 instances. But keep getting same error.

For example. I have EFS in Account1 and EC2 in Account2 (Different VPC) and trying

sudo mount -t nfs4 -o nfsvers=4.1,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,hard,timeo=600,retrans=2 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/ /efs/

It is not working.

It ONLY works if I have my EC2 in same Account (which is account1).

Is there a way I can mount this EFS in different account or local computers?

Did many google search and AWS forum search.. but no luck.

Answer 1

For those who are curious, try

sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=4,tcp,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,hard,timeo=600,retrans=2 -w host_ip:/ efs

worked for me via direct connect.

Answer 2

sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=4,tcp,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,hard,timeo=600,retrans=2 -w host_ip:/ efs

I have tried using the AWS Client connect VPN ie P2S VPN. it worked for me as well. With the latest changes now the EFS can be connected from your local machine using AWS VPN.

To access EFS file systems from on-premises, you must have an AWS Direct Connect or AWS VPN connection between your on-premises datacenter and your Amazon VPC.
