Hi,

I'm running Redhat Enterprise Linux WS v4. I've mounted a directory using smbmount on my linux box. What I'm trying to do now is export that mounted directory to another computer via NFS. The reason for this is the first machine can only export via Samba, and the third machine is an Irix box that can't mount Samba. Does anyone know if it's possible to do this? When I try I get the following error:

] I tired this first on another linux box, the same kind as the middle machine, but that's the error I get. If I setup another directory on the middle_machine and export that one, then I can mount it with no problems. Oh, and the permissions for /mnt/buffalo3/dailyscan are:

drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jul 18 15:07 dailyscan

Am I trying to do something that isn't possible? If not, does anyone know how to do it? Thanks very much.

Well, does the UID attempting to mount the share have permission to it on the remote system? And how is the NFS export configured? You may need no_root_squash in /etc/exports.

Hi,

Thank you for the replay, I've actually already got no_root_squash in my /etc/exports. I've got (rw,no_root_squash).

And on the remote system I was trying to mount the NFS exported directory as root, so the UID had permissions to mount the share.

Try adding the "nohide" option to the exports options. I'm not 100% sure it applies, but it's all I can think of or see in the man page.
