read only permission on NFS filesystem


hi folks, i have a very strange error over here in my environment. Among all 4 linux servers that are connected to a windows NAS box that uses NFS to share the filesystem, only in one i don't have the permission to touch a file or to create a directory

Is there any configuration on the linux server that i need to tweak a little bit? I have set full permission on the windows NAS box, even checked the allow root access, rw access options. What else did i miss out? Please help, this is really baffling. Thanks in advance.

More details on how you have this setup is needed. How is it getting mounted? What's the permissions on the server for this one server to access it, etc?

the volume in NAS box is volume E and in that volume i have two folders being shared Prime and SEQ. To set up the permission, we used the NAS manager as it is a NAS box. I give it full permission (rw + root access allowed) to all servers that are supposed to be connected, servera, serverb, serverc and serverd. After that, i mapped the user from the linux server a-d to users in the windows box. Of course i created the user in windows server first before mapping from linux to windows. We have users syn, sys and lc.

In the linux box, i set up in /etc/fstab file to point to the Prime and SEQ folders in the windows NAS box with options like rw, bg, hard, intr ,and of type nfs. After doing so, i issued service netfs restart and the filesystems are mounted successfully. On all servers i have no problem writing or creating files or directories but only on 1 particular server only root can write or create file/directories. The other users that i have mapped to the windows NAS box i can only do an ls or read only.
