Unable to view the mounted filesystems files and directories

[yogesh kumar_2]

Hi,

I have mounted a file system from Linux server to unix server.for ex:

#mount 192.6.8.33:/tbase /tools/common/tbase

I am unable to view files and dir in (/tools/common/tabse/file1).
for ex:
#192.6.8.33:/tbase contains two directories namely
#file1 and file2
#Inside file1 it contains some files and directories
So after mounting the same should be available in /tools/common/tbase
#I type cd to /tools/common/tbase/file1
#In file1 i am unable to view the files and directories
#But in file2 i can view the file and directories

So anyone help me out in this issue.

How are you mounting the filesystem onto the HPUX box from the Linux box, i.e. are you using NFS or CIFS/Samba or something else?

If you are using CIFS then you may need to use cifslogin to allow the user to access the content of the mounted share once it is mounted. This is even the case for root.

i.e. as HPUX user to get access:
cifslogin $linuxhostname $linuxuser -P $linuxuserpassword

This would then show as an entry in the lower half of the cifslist output.

You updated whilst I was typing ... with NFS, hmmm are the permissions on file1 and file2 the same?

If not then maybe the squash setting on the NFS export is wrong so that even if you are accessing via root from HPUX it doesn't have root permissions on the Linux filesystem and hence cannot access the directory.

ref /etc/exports norootsquash setting.
