Hi,

I am facing issue on NFS.

I have shared /data file file system on Server 192.192.192.1, added below lines in /etc/exports

/data 192.192.192.2(rw,no_root_squash,sync)

the owner of /data directory was test(uid 500)


and same I have mounted on another server 192.192.192.2 where the uid of test user was 501

After mounting I am able to list the files and directory but not able to write or creating new files.

As per my understanding their is problem of uid, but how to overcome that issue.

Please suggest.

Regards

Manoj

What are the permissions of the /data directory and the local mountpoint (where you mounted the share)?

Thanks for response, I have given rwx-r-x-r-x permission for shared directory and on mouted directory as /data_1 same permission rwx-r-x-r-x on both server I have created test user but having different uid.

I assume you are trying to access the files with the "test" user account. And yes, UIDs/GIDs should match up on each side.

You might want to manually change UID/GID on one of the servers to match those in the other box (500 or 501 in your case). Just be careful with any existing accounts that may be already using that ID.

Another possible approach is to create a common group (same GID on both sides) and change the permissions of the mountpoint to something like 0775.
