Dear all,

I have a server A and Client B.

I am mounting a folder which is Server A using read and write options in client B.

I have put entries in /etc/exports file as

Code:

/mnt1/load *(rw,sync)

In the client i cannot create any new file or delete any file eventhough it is read write mounted.

Any ideas ...

What is the ls -ld /mnt1/load output on the nfs server?

What is the user ID (UID) of the user with which you are trying to create directory/file on the nfs mount?

By default, root_squash option is turned on. So you will not be able to create/modify anything on the nfs mount even when root account of the client is used. To get out of this, you may need to use no_root_squash option.

If any other user ID is being used, the same UID should have write permission on the server's nfs share i.e the same UID needs to be present on the server by default. Or else, you can map all of the users on the client machine to use a particular user ID on the server which has write permission on the directory. Map them using anonuid and anongid options. Check man 5 exports for details.

Also, let me know if SELinux is enabled on the nfs server. You may need to turn on a few booleans i.e nfs_export_all_rw and nfs_export_all_ro.

Thanks Admin_xor for the valuable reply...it got sorted out....by using no_root_squash and also creating the same userid in the client.

Great to hear that!!
