NFS issue

[ani007]

Hi,
not able to create any file on nfs client server.

NFS server :-
abc40;I want to share /recovery directory
edit /etc/exports
#abc40:root [/root] cat /etc/exports
/recovery
abc40:root [/root]

NFS client :-
abc43,
I am able to mount the directory.
#mount -F nfs abc40:/recovery /recovery

Now the problem is i am able to mount the directory. but when i am trying to create any file under /recovery on abc43 it shows the following error

abc43:root [/recovery] touch abc
touch: abc cannot create
abc43:root [/recovery]
Please help me.
Regards,
Ani

Who are you? Use id(1). If you are root, have you exported it with root as root, or root is less than dirt, the default?
What are the permissions and ownership of /recovery?
I assume you know you must have the same UID/GID on both NFS server and client?

edit your exports file with permission:

#vi /etc/exports

/recovery -F nfs -o rw=abc43


then export the file system
#exportfs -av

what is the version of your os??

>singh: /recovery -F nfs -o rw=abc43

If you want root as root, you need: -o root=abc43
