NFS Error - unbale to mount the share

[WW288996]

Hi,

I have a NFS server(10.50.131.162) and I have shared the following folder and I was able to mount the same share to another machine(10.50.131.162) and it is working fine.

/opt/mpp/packages 10.58.131.100(rw,sync,no_root_squash)

I have shared one more folder which is mentoned below to the same machine but I am not able to mount the same to clien machie.

/tbstorage 10.58.131.100(rw,sync,no_root_squash)

While mounting the new nfs share at client machine side I am getting the following error,

[root@delhi T2]# mount -t nfs 10.58.131.162:/tbstorage /tbstorage
mount: 10.58.131.162:/tbstorage failed, reason given by server: Permission denied


After putting new folder in /etc/exports I have excuted the following commands also,

[root@blrmpp01 T2]# /etc/init.d/nfs reload
[root@blrmpp01 T2]# exportfs -ra


I am using RHEL5 NFS Server and RHEL4 as NFS client.

Please help me in this regard.

Please find the NFS server status below,

But If I try the following i am getting permission denied message

Hi,

Have you checked the /var/log/messages
for errors.

If nothing is working we will look your problem form basics.
Give a try by restarting the below serives
1)NFS
2)portmap
3)also check the file permission

Check
#netstat -nltup
see if NFS and portmap is working properly

looking at ur given out put you have done exporting Ok. but just export it in (ro) mode first.

if every thing done with exporting
check if you can mount this locally as NFS to another folder
with
#mount -t nfs source dest
if this works fine your almost done.
let me know once its success...

[Vitaly Karasik_1]

are you still able to mount your "packages" directory?

[WW288996]

/opt/mpp/packages is already mounted and used by people, that is working fine.

[WW288996]

Executed the below commands also, but still not working, I doubt if I restart nfs service on nfs server the existing mount also will work or not ?

Unix permissions don't seem me relevant here - client system should be able to *mount* share anyway, it just won't be able to use files in case of too restrictive permission.

I suspect some typo in your exports config file.
Can you post your /etc/exports?

May be "showmount" will provide some useful info...

[Durvesh Mendhekar]

To make the exports configurations compatible for all version, one needs to export (read only) the root filesystem with an fsid=0. The fsid=0 signals the NFS server that this export is the root.

/ *(ro,fsid=0) /home *(rw,sync,nohide)

Now with these exports, both "mount server:/home /mnt/home" and "mount -t nfs server:/home /mnt/home" will work as expected.

Give a try and let me know.

[Vitaly Karasik_1]

what a shame - I was wrong!!!!
yes, Durvesh Mendhekar is right - I encountered similar problem few years ago and fixed it using "fsid=0"

this is NFS4 catch, see for details this article, for example

http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/17581.html

[WW288996]

Can you please help me to edit my /etc/exports file,

I cannot change the first line,

/opt/mpp/packages 10.58.131.100(rw,sync,no_root_squash)

because it is already mounted and used in production.

Please help me to change the /etc/exports file with out affecting the first existing mount.
My current /etc/exports file is mentioned below,
[root@blrmpp01 ~]# cat /etc/exports
/opt/mpp/packages 10.58.131.100(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
/tbstorage 10.58.131.100(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
