error while nfs mount

Mr.J · 07-20-2008, 03:24 AM

Hello,
I'm getting following error while trying to do nfs mount...

root@test-desktop:/# mount -tnfs -onolock 10.0.0.2:/nfsroot /mnt
mount.nfs: 10.0.0.2:/nfsroot failed, reason given by server: Permission deniedroot@test-desktop:/#

/etc/export contains following lines.

/nfsroot 10.0.0.99(rw,no_root_squash,async)
/nfsroot 10.0.0.86(rw,no_root_squash,async)

Please advise.

could you please let us know what you've tried already?

Did you try

kill -HUP "mountd process" ?

also how are the rights on nfsroot itself?

Have you added the relevant entries to the nfs server's /etc/hosts.allow?

Mine looks as follows:

Code:

rpcbind: 192.168.1.107 
portmap: 192.168.1.107 
lockd: 192.168.1.107 
mountd: 192.168.1.107
rquotad: 192.168.1.107
statd: 192.168.1.107

where 192.168.1.107 is the ip of an nfs client

edit: I mean it would help if you put

Quote:

portmap:ALL
lockd:ALL
rpcbind:ALL
mountd:ALL
rquotad:ALL
statd:ALL

in your hosts.deny. If you didn't it probably doesn't matter.
