First the vitals:
The server is named alpha and is running Archlinux. It is exporting a directory named /files. The server is a couple of years old and I have accessed it extensively from clients running Arch, Suse, PCLinuxOS, and maybe some others, all with no problems.
The clients (3 of them) are new installations of Linux Mint 10 (Julia). When I mount the nfs all of the nfs files are visible as expected. However, the owner/group is drastically different than on the server.
I might add that I have set up user id's and group id's the same. My user is 1003 on all systems, and the users group is 100 on all systems.
When I am on alpha (via ssh), here is a partial file listing.
Code:
[dick@alpha dick]$ ls -l
total 9740
drwxr-xr-x 3 dick users 4096 May 16 2009 airplane
-rw-rw-r-- 1 dick users 240978 Jun 27 2009 Alice Grad 1934.pdf
-rwxr-xr-x 1 dick users 444 Jul 8 2007 alpha2ast
-rw-r--r-- 1 dick users 444 Sep 2 2009 alpha2charlie
-rwxr-xr-x 1 dick users 507 Jul 1 2007 alphawww2ast
-rw-r--r-- 1 dick users 476637 Mar 16 2008 AmeripanelBrochure.pdf
When I am on my workstation, here is what I see when I list the same files.
Code:
dick@gregory-desktop /files/dick $ ls -l
total 9740
drwxr-xr-x 3 4294967294 4294967294 4096 2009-05-16 22:14 airplane
-rw-rw-r-- 1 4294967294 4294967294 240978 2009-06-27 19:27 Alice Grad 1934.pdf

Here is the line in /etc/fstab.
Code:
alpha:/files /files nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,nosuid,soft 0 0
If have searched the Mint forums, LQ forums, and google in general. I must be missing something in my search because I can't believe that no one else has this same problem and I am having it on 3 different boxes.
