NFS Server Problem.

[UVA]

Hi,

I have NFS server on my HP-UX 11.31, I m sharing a filesytem called /SAPINST by the following manner

NFS Server
===========
#mkdir /SAPINST
#chmod 777 /SAPINST
#share -F nfs -o rw /SAPINST

restaring the service.

#shareall
#share - here im seeing the shared filesystem


NFS Client
==========
#mkdir /test
#chmod 777 /test
#mount 172.20.101.16:/SAPINST /test
#cd /test

#mkdir a
mkdir: cannot access .: Permission denied
#touch a
touch: a cannot create

This isthe problem ...

here im facing the problem that i am not able to create a file or directory even i give the rw permission in dfstab file.

Hi,

please try the mount option rw (read/write):
mount -o rw 172.20.101.16:/SAPINST /test

Hi again,

I don't have a 11.31 system, so I only can do some blind shots ....
Check this thread if there's something useful:

(Dave Olker is THE expert here, so you also can do some search about threads with his answers)

Also check the man pages of 'share' if you've used the right syntax of '-o' option for example.

Volkmar is right (not about me being the expert, but about making sure the share options are correct).

I took my 11.31 system and reproduced your steps:

# mkdir /SAPINST
# chmod 777 /SAPINST
# share -F nfs -o rw /SAPINST
# share
- /SAPINST rw ""

Then on my 11.23 client system:

# mkdir /test
# chmod 777 /test
# mount atcux12:/SAPINST /test
# cd /test
# ll
total 0
# mkdir a
# ll
total 0
drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody sys 96 Mar 6 22:14 a

The permissions on the newly created directory show a UID of -2 (nobody) because I'm a root user on the client and I didn't share the filesystem to allow root access from clients. So this is expected, but because the permissions are wide open I'm still able to create a directory.

On the client my mount looks like this:

> nfsstat -m
/test from atcux12:/SAPINST (Addr 15.43.209.141)
Flags: vers=3,proto=tcp,auth=unix,hard,intr,link,symlink,devs,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,retrans=5
All: srtt= 0 ( 0ms), dev= 0 ( 0ms), cur= 0 ( 0ms)


Please cut/paste the output of the "share" command on your 11.31 server and the output of the "nfsstat -m" command from your NFS client. Also, let me know what OS you're running on the client.

Regards,

Dave

Hi,

have you tried to mkdir/touch with another user?

Have you tried to upgrade ONCplus.
There is fix about access problem for users that belong to more than 16 groups: http://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=ONCplus

Hi Olker,

on my NFS server.

# share
- /SAPINST rw ""

#nfsstat

its not showing any output.

my server and client both are running HP-UX 11.31

[Dave Olker]

I was asking for the "nfsstat -m" output once the filesystem is mounted on the client. So please mount the filesystem on the client and then issue "nfsstat -m" and cut/paste the output.

do the NFS export this way. it should work.

share -F nfs -o root=, rw= /SAPINST

[UVA]

Hi

Sorry...

pls see the o/p

#mount 172.20.101.16:/SAPINST /sapinst

#nfsstat -m
/sapinst from 172.20.101.16:/SAPINST

Hi Wiz,

NFS Server
----------

share -F nfs -o root=172.20.101.14,rw=172.20.101.14 /SAPINST



NFS Client
----------

it says its a read only filesystem.

cd /sapinst
# mkdir a
mkdir: cannot create a: Read-only file system

>but i don't know why the root can't???

Because unless you export the file system with root as root, root is treated as less than dirt, nobody.

Hi Guys,

We did...

share -F nfs -o anon=2 /SAPINST


its works...

Thanks to all guys...
