Not able to see files from a remote unix box

[Phillip Popp]

Hi,
Running 10.2 I made a new lv called LTX. I want to use this directory to store back up info from a solaris unix box. I can cd from the solaris box to the HP box, see the root directory, see the LTX directory, but I can not see the subdirectories I have created under the LTX directory. I also found out that I can not see any files in vg01 that I have recently made. vg01 is a seperate disk. LTX is a lvol in vg01. I looked at vg00 and vg01 and they both seem to be set up the same way. I can see files in vg00. I have the .rhost file on the HP box set to +, but do not know if that would be the problem. Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Phil

Check your /etc/exports file on Hp-UX box to see how directories are exported to remote machine.

This could be a result of the way the directories were exported but it could be something as trivial as permissions on the directories. Does the user have directory search permission? Note that, by default, root permission does not extend across an NFS mount unless specifically granted in the export. Are the UID's and GID's the same on both boxes? The other thing that can cause this sort of problem is extremely restrictive permissions on the mountpoint. You need to umount the NFS mount and examine the permissions of the underlying mountpoint. You may also need to umount the directory on the NFS server and examine the permissions of those mountpoints.
