nfs permission denied

[ian walker_1]

trying to mount an NFS filesystem from another server and I get permission denied message. FS is exported in /etc/exports and directories have global rwx perms. I can see the other server using ping and telnet on to it.

a good place to start is by reviewing the URL below:

http://docs.hp.com/en/B1031-90043/ch07s01.html

alternatively check the following:

that you can do an nslookup on both ip and hostname of nfs server on client and vice versa to rule out any networking problems.

in /etc/exports on nfs server check the entry for the filesystem you want to access, re is it exported only to another server? or alternatively add options to export to your client only, re -access=,-root= etc...

see how you get on...
