NFS Perms

Nobody's Hero — Wed, 14 Jul 2004 09:13:53 GMT

Ok I have linux rh9 handing out a file via nfs.
on the linux box my exports file looks like:
/archive mailtest (rw,sync,all_squash,anonuid=0)

I ran exportfs -av, however It mounts ok but when I try to write to it I get a message that it is 'Read Only filesystem. I am lost here.

see that there's no space between mailtest
and (rw,no_root_squash)

anyway

/archive mailtest(rw,no_root_squash)

will sure let you write there...

hi,

check the permissions of /archive and mount point on the mailtest for the user who wants to write - they should set on rw for user or group where user belongs to.

You can change permissions even after mount because uid gid will be propagated from mount point to exported dir:

on mailtest
chmod 775 whereisitmounted

or if user doesn't belong group

chmod 777 whereisitmounted

post the result br Jan
