Hi,
my problem is that I am not able to grand the nfs directory on a Fedora 7 server to a standard solaris client.
I always got the messages no permission.

Important: No change on the client (Solaris) is possible! So I am not able to change the NFS Version on the client side to force the client to use only nfs version 3.

I hope that anyone can help me!

Hint: Solaris experience more then 7 years but linux less then two days!

Nice post, it contains a lot of info, though I cannot see the problem at prima vista. Can you try to change the /24 part to the real IPs of the machines ? I had this issue today, for some reason I was not able to mount them. Also, apparently the export zone is Fedora 7, and you are issuing "mount" from Solaris box, what is the command line that you have invoked and what was the error message. The NFS version incompatibility could be possible reason, although personally I haven't ran into such troubles (or can't remember) - try scratching that problem with flag "-o vers=3" when mounting.

Hi Sysgate,
I changed it from /24 to the 192.168.10.10 (this ist the real IP)
But without success!
I use the automount of the /net to mount the filesystem on the solaris box.


montagu@zeus:[~] $ cd /net
montagu@zeus:[/net] $ ls
192.168.10.191
montagu@zeus:[/net] $ cd 192.168.10.191/

montagu@zeus:[/net/192.168.10.191/NFS4exports] $ cd export/
bash: cd: export/: Permission denied
montagu@zeus:[/net/192.168.10.191/NFS4exports] $

Sorry I can not change any thing on the solaris box!
The fedora nfs server will be used as jumpstart server. AT the early installation step of a jumpstart install I am not able to switch mount options on the client.


Thanks !

OK I solved this problem by reinstall off the fedora box and

the following changes inside the export file:
export RPCNFSDARGS="-N 2 -N 4"
export SECURE_NFS="no"

I changed it because after the new installation I mentioned that the server support NFS Versio 2 and 3. But Solaris 10 need Version 3.

snoop:
before success:
RPC R (#1372) XID=1184230484 Program number mismatch (low=2, high=3)

With success:
PORTMAP C GETPORT prog=100003 (NFS) vers=3 proto=TCP

One day work for a simple problem!
