Permissions issue with NFS mount

[John Jimenez]

Hello I do not have much experience with NFS so I hope you can assist. I created an NFS mount point from Host1 to host 2. But there seems ot be a permissions issue. So I unmounted and change permissions. But when I mount the NFS permissions go back. I guess this makes sense, because host2 does not have oracle user.

Here is what is just did on host1

host1:[/]
# ll | more
host1:[/]
# ll | grep backup
drwxr-xr-x 2 oracle dba 96 Jun 13 14:54 backup
host1:[/]
# mount -F nfs -o rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard host2:/backup/Rman /backup
host1:[/]
# ll | grep backup drwxr-xr-x 3 15031 50 101 Jun 13 11:14 backup

Correct.

The owner and group fields in the output are showing the UID and GID numbers because there is nothing that matches them in /etc/passwd and /etc/group respectively.

Thanks Patrick. We are creating subdirectories as root user and that seems to be working.
