Hi,
I have two networked Linux machines, ripley and weaver. ripley has a
dds-2 tape drive. I want to access ripley's tape drive from weaver. So
I added ripley and weaver to each others /etc/hosts.equiv. How I can
access ripley's tape drive from weaver with a command like 'tar tvf
ripley:/dev/st0' issued from weaver. My problem is that when I try to
issue this command from weaver as root (weaver's root), I get the error:
Permission denied.
tar: Cannot open ripley:/dev/st0: Input/output error
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
I was told that this is due to root squashing. I looked up root
squashing in man exports. So then I added this line to ripley's
/etc/exports:
/dev/st0 weaver(rw,no_root_squash)
I also have this line in weaver's /etc/fstab:
ripley:/dev/st0 /mnt/tape nfs defaults
I sill can't get weaver's root to access ripley's tape drive. What am I
doing wrong? Thanks,
Hidong
