NFS Permission Denied Error

[Ganesh Balraman]

Hi All,

I am running Hpux 11.11 with latest bundle loaded.

I had configured the nfs server to export the file system called /image .

I am running as root user. When it try to mount it mount 10.0.0.22:/image /test .

It is getting mounted .

But when i try to create a file it gives permission denied error.

Filesystem was give full permisssion.
OPtins tried are:
1.ran exportfs -av
2.restarted daemons
3.rebooted server

Still erroe.

Looking for advice.

just a guess.

Can you write a file as a normal user? you can turn of the accesof root....

ps if you post your /etc/exports

ore the output of exportfs?

Check the permission given in /etc/exports


EXAMPLES
/usr/games cocoa fudge # export to only these machines
/usr -access=clients # export to my clients
/usr/local # export to the world
/usr2 -access=bison:deer:pup # export to only these machines
/var/adm -root=bison:deer # give root access only to these
/usr/new -anon=0 # give all machines root access
/usr/temp -rw=ram:alligator # export read-write only to these
/usr/bin -ro # export read-only to everyone
/usr/stuff -access=bear,anon=-2,ro # several options on one line
/usr/subnet -access=@mysubnet #use mysubent in /etc/networks
/usr/subnet1 -access=@192.5 #clients must be in the 192.5.0.0 subnet
/usr/domain -access=.myd.myc.com #clients must be in .myd.myc.com
/usr/restrict -access=-host1.myd.myc.com:sales # disallow -host1 in the sales netgroup.

Hi,

in general 'root' is mapped to a user 'unknown' when doing an access to a NFS mounted file system. See 'man exports', if you really want to permit a remote root access:
/file/system root=host1,...

The UID of a 'normal' username is left unchanged (not the name, but the uid).

Hello

In nfs exports it's a good practice to synchronize uid and gids client and server, then when you export something you don't have problem with permissions.

Thanks

Shalom,

On the server.

Shut down NFS

/sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop

ll -d /image/

Make sure the permissions on the folder itself permit user access.

/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

I think this is nothing more than a simple permissions issue.

Some issues in the export file.
Deleted all the contents.

Restarted
Service

Works fine.
