nfs mount permission issues
Hello,
We have some new application requirements that require us to use nfs mounts from aix 5.3 and mount to Oracle Linux 5.6.

Do you know why when on the destination ( linux ) box, the root user cannot access directories made by other users in the nfs mounted filesystem ?

I read that there needs to be an option in the /etc/exports file for the source, called -maproot=root.
I tried that, but am not sure of a clean way to have the client read the exports file again to take the new parameter.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,
floyd

Never mind, I figured it out.
If i put the option "root=client" in the exportfs file, it works.

       nfs - Network File System

Description
       The Network File System (NFS) is a specific file system implemented under the Generic File System Interface, as described in

       NFS  provides  support  for sharing ordinary files and directories in a multivendor networking environment.  The system administrator for a
       file server machine makes a file system available for remote access by placing the name of the file system to be shared in an export  list.
       The  administrator for a client machine can import a file system from any server machine that has granted access permission to the request-
       ing client machine.  A complete exported file system or any subtree of an exported file system can be imported by the client machine.  Once
       imported, users on the client machine can access files in the remote file system as though they were local files.
