RE: Problems mounting root filesystem off of NFS
Ok, I think I got the uid/gid issue figured out. My server.map file looks like this (I want all the files in my filesystem with tberger1 ownership to show up as root on the client): uid 0 895260 # user id for tberger1 gid 0 10545 # group id for tberger1 uid 0 1007# user id for Administrator gid 0 513 # group id for Administrator My exports line is as follows: /nfsmount_drop3 (rw,sync,no_root_squash,map_static=/etc/nfs/server.map) >From a Linux box, I can mount this and the files look OK (e.g: total 5 drwxr-xr-x 18 root root0 Mar 15 10:22 . drwxr-xr-x 9 tberger1 tberger1 4096 Mar 17 23:07 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root0 Mar 17 14:09 .autofsck drwxr-xr-x 2 root root0 Mar 15 10:23 bin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root0 Mar 3 16:11 boot drwxr-xr-x 4 root root0 Mar 3 16:28 dev drwxr-xr-x 23 root root0 Mar 15 10:23 etc drwxr-sr-x 3 root root0 Mar 15 10:23 home drwxr-xr-x 2 root root0 Mar 3 16:11 initrd drwxr-xr-x 5 root root0 Mar 3 16:27 lib drwxr-xr-x 2 root root0 Mar 3 16:11 mnt drwxr-sr-x 4 root root0 Mar 15 10:23 opt However, I see a bunch of these errors being logged to /var/log/nfsd.log on the cygwin side: nfsd[3836] 03/17/106 14:18 auth_clnt.c 352 : Unable to seteuid(-2): Invalid argu ment nfsd[3836] 03/17/106 14:18 auth_clnt.c 307 : Unable to setegid(-2): Invalid argu ment nfsd[3836] 03/17/106 14:18 auth_clnt.c 332 : Unable to setgroups: Invalid argume nt nfsd[3836] 03/17/106 14:18 auth_clnt.c 352 : Unable to seteuid(-2): Invalid argu ment When I try to boot my PPC board using this RFS, it gets stuck at runlevel 1, presumably because of these errors (I see them in nfsd.log as the PPC board boots). Any help greatly appreciated, thank you! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Problems-mounting-root-filesystem-off-of-NFS-t1293038.html#a3463433 Sent from the Cygwin Users forum at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

I'm completely unfamiliar with configuring static map files for NFS so I'm gonna have to do some reading here.

While it > mounts OK, Linux fails to come up due to various errors, e.g. 1) Did you install the server using the nfs-server-config script? 2) Can you post your /etc/exports and and static map files you're using? If you're able to mount the RFS, the only thing I could think to suggest would be to look at your /etc/exports and make sure that you're using a proper map file for your NFS export. Try "man exports" and look for the map_static section. That may help you clear up your permissions issues. You might want to try and mount the exported RFS from a desktop linux system; this will give you some idea of what permissions are being translated incorrectly, and how you can go about correcting your static map files to deal with them. > Has anybody successfully booted Linux off of a cygwin NFS > exported root filesystem?
