There are TONS of articles about NFS shares with ownership of "nobody"
mine is a lil different.
for some reason only SOME of the files are owned by nobody (not all of them) the others, have the proper ownership.
Troubleshooting:
Part 1 - Running rpcidmapd on client with extensive logging
Enabled logging, tail -f on the messages file, restarted rpcidmapd on client, on server, umounted and remounted, nothing happened in the logs except for the logs from the startup and shutdown of the services, this pushed me twards caching
Part 2 - Disabling NSCD
and yet again, tail -f on the messages, restarted anything I can, and still, nothing, no calls sent to the server, maybe it's cached in the rpcidmapd?
Part 3 - Changing mount server
unmounted the NFS, changed the hostname (to an alias) in /etc/hosts, mounted again, and w00t!! I see translations of users, but still, not of all of them
back to square 1
Part 4 - Act of dispare
stopped the rpcidmapd on the client, unmounted the NFS, REMOVED nfs-utils and nfs-utils-libs, then re-installed them, tried again, and yet again, same folders have proper permissions, and others don't.
Before you go "change the Domain= directive in the /etc/idmapd.conf", that was done far before part 1, both servers are CentOs6.
help? idea?
