Need your Help !
I'm using linux mint maya
I just mounted an NFS directory from my local server using fstab file
When I try to open it , I have an error message like this :
"You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "HNB"."

access the NFS as root (su -)
or
edit the fstab line to allow non root read , or non root read/write

Here is my fstab :
192.168.1.4:/volume1/HNB /media/HNB nfs rw,suid,dev,exec,auto,user,async,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,soft,timeo=14,intr 0 0

Can you see something I can change John ?

I acces NFS as a user wich belong to admin Group but,
How can I grant root privilege to the user I am ?

where did you come up with that line ?
from using Google there is a 2009 ubuntu post about slackware

however this should work just fine

Code:

192.168.1.4:/volume1/HNB /media/HNB nfs defaults 0 0

that WILL ask for a root password using a pop up

Finely I found the solution John

I used this command line as root :

sudo chmod 0777 /media/HNB

Thank You
