Can create but not overwrite files in NFS mount

tsunix-pdm-1 — Wed, 27 May 2015 10:23:09 GMT

Hi,

I can create new files but cannot write nor overwrite them. The nfs shared directory is in a Solaris 10 system and the nfs client is HP-UX 11.11. I can mount the same shared directory into other different 11.11 box and it works well.

root-hpux11:/mountpoint>touch kk
root-hpux11:/mountpoint>bdf > kk

/usr/bin/sh: kk: Cannot create the specified file.
root-hpux11:/mountpoint

¿Any clue on what is going on?

Best Regards,

Please issue the following commands and cut/paste output:

ls -ld /mountpoint

ls -l /mountpoint

touch /mountpoint/test123

ls -l /mountpoint/test123

> /mountpoint/test123

Be sure to include any output and error messages from the above commands.

On the Solaris NFS server include the contents of the /etc/dfs/sharetab file so I can see exactly how the mount point is shared for the client.

Hi,

The problem was solved by mounting the shared directory as NFS version 2.

Thank you very much for your time !

Kind Regards,
