NFS Mount Related Problem

[Indrajit Bhagat]

Dear sir , I
I am getting the following error while mounting the remote file system on client machine.
# mount lngappdr:/ /tmp/abcd
Permission denied
the secenario is there is one server named lngappdr which i have made NFS server and lngprddr which i have made NFS client. i am getting the following error while mounting the /tmp directory in NIS client.

What are the contents of your /etc/exports file on lngappdr? Does it help if you do a 'exportfs -va' on lngappdr?

[Indrajit Bhagat]

this is the following output that i get from lngappdr machine:
# vi /etc/exports
"/etc/exports" 5 lines, 87 characters
/sharing
/var/opt/ignite/clients -anon=2
/tmp -root=lngprddr
/home -access=lngprddr
/etc/passwd -root=lngprddr

Dear Indrajit,

1. You can only mount the file systems as super user.

2.
> # mount lngappdr:/ /tmp/abcd

What actually you are trying here is to mount from the root dir on lngappdr to the /tmp/abcd on your client box.

Can you explain what is your actual objective. Which dir you want to mount from NFS server to which dir on client. So it will be more easy.

[Rasheed Tamton]

Can you also do these and let us know.

On the client:

id -a
pwd
showmount -e lngappdr (nfs server name)
grep NFS_CLIENT /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf
ps -ef|grep -E 'rpc|biod'
and
your mount command

Hi,

looking at the list of exports of the server
/sharing
/var/opt/ignite/clients -anon=2
/tmp -root=lngprddr
/home -access=lngprddr
/etc/passwd -root=lngprddr

you see, that '/' is NOT exported - so it's ok you get a 'permission denied'.
Try
mount lngappdr:/home /tmp/abcd

This should succeed.
