NFS

[Carlos Vanegas]

I have a problem to export a file system /usr/data1 to 3 machines. I write in /etc/exports the next:

/usr/data1 -root=mach1:mach2:mach3

After, I ran exportfs -a and I mount in each nfs client , and didn't have problem, but only can write in mach2.

What I need to do, to can write in the 3 nfs client??

Thanks

Carlos,

Your exportfs command should work. Try unmounting and mounting again on the other nodes.

Hi Carlos,
Your entry in the /etc/exports is proper and it should work.

Just do following and you should be fine.

On NFS server execute following

#/sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop
##/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

on Clients

# /sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.client start

You should be fine now.

Hi Carlos. This works fine. Just make sure you don't have any stale/unused points in /etc/exports file.
Stopping and starting the nfs daemons couldn't hurt.

Hi Carlos,
-Check /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file on nfs server,the following params should have these values:
NFS_CLIENT=0
NFS_SERVER=1
NUM_NFSD=4
NUM_NFSIOD=4
PCNFS_SERVER=0
START_MOUNTD=1
-On each client,check /etc/fstab,it should have a line simillar to this;
server:/dir. to be exported /mount point on client nfs rw 0 0

Just adding to pap's message.

You need to delete the entry in the /etc/rmtab file for mach1 and mach3 machines after you have stopped the nfs.server and nfs.client.

Because it might still be containing the old export permissions which you had set for mach1 and mach3 servers.

Hi Carlos,

you might simply have a name resolution problem on your NFS server:
do ALL three machine's IP-addresses really resolve to the shortnames "mach1" or "mach2" or "mach3", or they have some DNS part (dots)?

HTH,

hi,
stop the NFS service.
#cd /var/statmon/sm
delete the files under the directory. start the
NFS service . try writing again.
