Read only filesystem:
 
Hi all,

mounted an NFS share as read-write and this is used to work fine until now. Suddenly now, whenever i tried to create new files in this share, it throws error saying that it is read-only filesystem. Tried to remount it with read-write, mounted fine but when i try to create files in it then the same error.

Code:
Server1:/docs on /A/Temp type nfs (rw,addr=<IP ADDRESS>)
below is the entry from /etc/fstab
Code:
Server1:/docs /A/Temp nfs  rw,intr,soft,timeo=600,vers=3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 0 0
below is the error while trying to touch temp file as root
Code:
# touch a
touch: cannot touch `a': Read-only file system
below is the permissions on directory where i am trying to touch the file
Code:
# ls -ld .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 2048 Dec 16  2011 .
Any clue on how to troubleshoot this ?

Thanks in adavance!

Looks like only root user has write access to the /docs directory on server 1. Try changing permissions on /docs directory to "chmod 777 /docs" to verify this fixes it and then proceed to re-establish your security to the level you want.
