Hi Experts,

NFS-Server ist an Intel-PC (hostname "linux",running SuSE 8.0.
# ls /latest
. .. dir_a dir_b
# cat /etc/exports
/latest \
*(rw,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)

Client is a IBM Workstation running AIX 4.3 :
root # mount linux:/latest /mnt
mount: 1831-008 giving up on:
linux:/latest
vmount: Operation not permitted.

Alternative using the AIX-automounter:
root # cd /net/linux
root # ls -l
total 1
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root system 2 17 Jun 14:04 latest
root # ls -la latest
total 2
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root system 2 17 Jun 14:04 .
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root system 5 17 Jun 14:04 ..

No problems accessing other Unix-NFS-Servers (Solaris, HP-UX, AIX) from the
AIX-box.
No problems accessing the Linux-NFS-Server from Solaris or HP-UX boxes.

Who can't I mount the Linux-shares on AIX?

Thanks for any hint.
Heiko

You probably need to use "nfso -o nfs_use_reserved_ports=1" (check the
man page to make sure I got that exactly right - my AIX systems aren't
here). AIX by default uses a high source port for mount requests and
Linux by default does not like that. If this is the problem there will
be an error about a mount request on an insecure port in the Linux log.
The command will not persist over reboot so put it in /etc/rc.nfs too.

An alternative is to use the "insecure" option in the Linux export but
this is not normally desirable (I have only ever used it to mount over a
NAT firewall).

Regards, Ian

hi

we had a similar problem with linux (redhat 7.1) joining a solaris/aix/irix
environment. now we use a customized 2.4.18 kernel which solves nfs
problems.
if you still have the problem then please mail me and i will try to get the
patch in the next days.

regards

christian

Hallo,

cat /etc/exports
/opt/nfs *(rw,sync,insecure,no_root_squash)

should do the trick

regards thomas
