Permissions on NFS Share

IwantLINUX · 03-08-2007, 12:14 PM

Hi,

Is it possible to provide read only access to users on an NFS share and read/write access to root on the same share?

I mean if root mounts the NFS share then it should get the read/write access and users should get read only?

I think you are looking for share option "no_root_squash" . By default root user is treated a NFSNOBODY but if you add the no_root_squash parameter in share it will allow root as real root i.e R/W access.

I hope this helps.

/share *(ro,sync,no_root_squash)

Hi mether,

I was also thinking the same, no_root_squash should give me the root permissions on the share and hence i should get the read/write access, but it dosent. If a share has been mounted as

/share *(ro,sync,no_root_squash)

root still dosent get the read/write permissions..
