I am running 8.0-RELEASE. I am able to mount an nfsv4 share on a Debian GNU/Linux server, but I cannot write to it. I realise that nfsv4 is experimental on FreeBSD, but I am tantalisingly close to getting it working and thought that someone here could advise, or point me to some (web) reference. I have googled but have not found anything relevant to this problem.
I have enabled the following in /etc/rc.conf: nfs_client_enable="YES" nfsuserd_enable="YES" nfsuserd_flags="-domain localdomain" nfscbd_enable="YES" I have passed the domain "localdomain" to nfsuserd via nfsuserd_flags because that is what it is set to (by default) via /etc/idmapd.conf on the Linux server. I mount the remote location using: # mount -t nfs -o nfsv4,rw 192.168.x.x:/freeagent /mnt which succeeds.... (either with or without the "rw" option) # mount /dev/ad2s1a on / (ufs, local) devfs on /dev (devfs, local, multilabel) /dev/ad2s1e on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/ad2s1f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/ad2s1d on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates) 192.168.x.x:/freeagent on /mnt (newnfs) When I execute an ls -al on /mnt all the directories have the correct permissions, except for one.... (NOTE THE GROUP -- 32767) drwx------ 2 root 32767 16384 Jul 5 12:28 lost+found If I try, either as root, or as my regular user account, to write to the drive I get $ cd /mnt $ touch junk touch: junk: Permission denied I have checked the directory permissions for my user and they are correct. I use the same username (and group) on both the FreeBSD desktop and the Linux (NFS4) server and, according to the permissions, I own and should be able to write to the share: $ cd /mnt $ ls -ald . drwxr-xr-x 7 username username 4096 Dec 11 13:37 . I can successfully read from the nfs4 mounted drive, but I cannot write to it. Has anyone got any idea where I have gone wrong. (If I boot to Linux on the same client I can successfully mount and read/write, so I'm reasonably certain the server side is set up correctly.) -Richard _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
