Greetings all, nfs experts in particular; In attempting to achieve a setup where any of my machines can access all the others with rw privileges, I have been trying to setup an /etc/exports file on each machine that names the other 3 main, always up and running, machines here.
Before someone yells about security, this is all a hardwired local 192.168.xx.xx network behind a router running dd.wrt. Local dns lookups are /etc/hosts file based. On this machine, and because I need access from the other machines only to my /home/gene subdir, exports looks like this: (wordwrap off) /home/gene GO704(rw,sync,fsid=0,no_subtree_check) lathe(rw,sync,fsid=0,no_subtree_check) shop(rw,sync,fsid=0,no_subtree_check) But, because I may need to edit/adjust something outside of my home tree on the other machnes, those /etc/exports look like this, example from a machine called "shop": / coyote(rw,sync,fsid=0,nohide,no_subtree_check) lathe(rw,sync,fsid=0,nohide,no_subtree_check) GO704(rw,sync,fsid=0,nohide,no_subtree_check /etc/init.d list of stuff retarted on both this machine and shop machine autofs nfs-common nfs-kernel-server rpcbind And I have permanent mounts of that "shop" machine in my /etc/fstab here this machine "coyote", and I have issued: sudo mount -o remount /net/shop However, I cannot access the /net/shop/home directory from here, getting this response to an ls command: gene@coyote:/etc$ ls /net/shop/home ls: cannot access /net/shop/home: Stale NFS file handle But an ls of /net/shop looks normal, and other directories on "shop" can be listed normally. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong? Thanks. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
