Solaris 10 NFS Share Issue
Hello all,
I am having an issue with an NFS share I have created between two Solaris 10 boxes. I want the share to have read/write permissions, but for some reason it is coming up as read-only on the client side mount despite "rw" being specified in the mount options.
Here is what I have in /etc/vfstab on the client:
server:/share - /share nfs - yes rw
Here is what I have in /etc/dfs/dfstab on the server:
share -F nfs -o rw,root=clientservername /share
The problem appears to be with the client-side mount, because if I perform the following command it becomes read-write:
mount -o remount /share
Any ideas why the share started out as read-only despite being specified otherwise? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Chris

share(1M) share(1M)
NAME
share - make local resource available for mounting by remote systems
SYNOPSIS
share [-F FSType] [-o specific_options] [-d description] [pathname]
The share command exports, or makes a resource available for mounting, through a remote file system of type FSType. If the option -F FSType
is omitted, the first file system type listed in /etc/dfs/fstypes is used as default. For a description of NFS specific options, see
share_nfs(1M). pathname is the pathname of the directory to be shared. When invoked with no arguments, share displays all shared file sys-
tems.
-F FSType
Specify the filesystem type.
-o specific_options
The specific_options are used to control access of the shared resource. (See share_nfs(1M) for the NFS specific options.) They may be
any of the following:
rw
pathname is shared read/write to all clients. This is also the default behavior.
rw=client[:client]...
pathname is shared read/write only to the listed clients. No other systems can access pathname.
ro
pathname is shared read-only to all clients.
ro=client[:client]...
pathname is shared read-only only to the listed clients. No other systems can access pathname.
Separate multiple options with commas. Separate multiple operands for an option with colons. See .
-d description
The -d flag may be used to provide a description of the resource being shared.
Example 1: Sharing a Read-Only Filesystem
This line will share the /disk file system read-only at boot time.
share -F nfs -o ro /disk
Example 2: Invoking Multiple Options
The following command shares the filesystem /export/manuals, with members of the netgroup having read-only access and users on the speci-
fied host having read-write access.
share -F nfs -o ro=netgroup_name,rw=host1:host2:host3 /export/manuals
/etc/dfs/dfstab
list of share commands to be executed at boot time
/etc/dfs/fstypes
list of file system types, NFS by default
/etc/dfs/sharetab
system record of shared file systems

Export (old terminology): file system sharing used to be called exporting on SunOS 4.x, so the share command used to be invoked as
exportfs(1B) or /usr/sbin/exportfs.
If share commands are invoked multiple times on the same filesystem, the last share invocation supersedes the previous--the options set by
the last share command replace the old options. For example, if read-write permission was given to usera on /somefs, then to give read-
write permission also to userb on /somefs:
example% share -F nfs -o rw=usera:userb /somefs
This behavior is not limited to sharing the root filesystem, but applies to all filesystems.
