No writing permision in nfs

Infernal211283 · 12-13-2005, 06:10 AM

hi,

i mounted a shared nfs and i want to be able to add files to that shared directory from a client but it says "permission denied".

they client and server use fc4.

server's /etc/exports:

/home fedint(rw,insecure)

server's /etc/hostst.allow:

portmap: fedint,fedora
lockd: fedint,fedora
mountd: fedint,fedora
rquotad: fedint,fedora
statd: fedint,fedora

I thought that should be enough but i guess it's not, what can i do for it to grant me the "write" permission?

Thank you.

Hey,

I haven't used NFS too much lately, but maybe the client is just mounting it in read only mode, or you need to set a mask on it. Type 'mount' to see how it is mounted (read-only or read-write) and type ls -ald /mountpoint/of/nfs/share to see your permissions on the mountpoint.

Good luck!

this is my out of 'mount': (except the regular ones)

nfsd on /proc/fs/nfsd type nfsd (rw)
10.0.0.100:/home/ on /home/infernal/mounted/nfs type nfs (rw,addr=10.0.0.100)
10.0.0.100:/ on /home/infernal/mounted/nfs2 type nfs (rw,addr=10.0.0.100)

and this is the ls -ald of the share:

[infernal@fedora nfs2]$ ls -ald /home/infernal/mounted/nfs2
drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Dec 13 09:31 /home/infernal/mounted/nfs2

it says the share belongs to root but
if i try to write there while i'm root it doesnt help either

;(

I'm sorry, my NFS knowledge isn't what it used to be. I think someone else can help you though, have you tried reading the NFS faq / tldp documents?

i hoped i won't have to read all that literature but i guess there's no choise... :\

thank you for your help.

Alright, it's done and working now...
All i had to do is add the 'no_root_squash' in the exports.

Yeah, that helped me too! Never would have guessed it was a remote setting. I am going to have to tape that next to my computer.
