Problem with NFS drive
 

Hi all,

Recently I added NFS drive to my Linux Box. I mounted the drive successfully /usr/ym/kjsi Network Filesystem (nfs) 10.10.11.105:/mnt/disk1.

I Created a directory using shell command mkdir /usr/ym/kjsi/testing, permission created to testing directory is (755). When I try to change the permission to /usr/ym/kjsi/testing to 777 I am getting error operations not permitted. Even I tried to copy a file to that directory I am getting the same error.

Can anyone suggest me where I am going wrong.

Thanks in advance

Hi Shridhar,


Have you mounted this nfs drive from some other host or the local host?

If it is some other host are you using the same user ids?
Have you mounted the nfs mounts as some other user?
Try the same things as root as it will have uid 0 on all machines.


I know these are some clues only, but it should help you some way.

Also try umounting the drive and then changing permissions. If it is in use it doesn't want to allow any changes.
