NFS SuSE 6.0 -> SuSE 6.4 don`t work

Post by j.foerste » Fri, 16 Jun 2000 04:00:00



Hello everybody!

I`ve got the following problem:

there are two Linux-boxes in one network
the first box (SuSE 6.0) exports a given directory (rw) . so  far
everything works fine.
the second box (SuSE 6.4) imports the directory(rw). this also works
fine.
rights are set correct
but whenever I try to write on the mounted directory I`ve no permisssion
to do this.

Please I`ve no idea to solve this and SuSE Supportdatabase says nothing
to this.

greetings to everybody

Check to make sure you don't have a space before the "(rw)"--exports
file is finicky.

NFS SuSE 6.0 -> SuSE 6.4 don`t work

It is not because you export the directory read write that you have the
right to do so. Maybe YOU just don't have enough rights. You can test it by
trying to mount the filesystem as ROOT. If you can then write on it, this is
probably your problem.

How to solve it ? Check your Userid and GroupID on both machines. If these
don't match this may be the problem. To solve this make a usermap (this is
explained in the manpages). This is basically used to say who the user on
machine 1 should be on machine 2.

Don't forget to restart the NFS daemon.

Hopefully this helped ...

Kindest regards,
Patrick.
