Public bug reported: Hi folks. I'm trying to connect two Ubuntu machines so that machine 1 can access a FAT32 partition on machine 2, and machine 2 can access a NTFS partition on machine 1. To explain myself better, let's say machine 1 is my own machine, located in my bedroom, and machine 2 is my mother's machine, located in the living room. I store my personal data on my machine, in a NTFS partition and machine 2 stores personal data on a FAT32 partition. I followed this guide: http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#NFS_Server in order to set up a NFS server and client on both machines (so that both have access to each other). The point is, after following the procedure in the guide, I can access my mother's machine from mine, but I can't access my own machine (machine 1) from my mother's PC. I'm not sure why, but my guess is that this is due to the fact that the partition on machine 1 I want to share is in NTFS format? I say this because, when following the procedure in the guide, I get these messages on machine 1 when running the following commands: ______________________________________________________________ sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart [sudo] password for vicente: * Stopping NFS kernel daemon [ OK ] * Unexporting directories for NFS kernel daemon... [ OK ] * Exporting directories for NFS kernel daemon... exportfs: /etc/exports [1]: Neither 'subtree_check' or 'no_subtree_check' specified for export "192.168.1.1:/media/sda5". Assuming default behaviour ('no_subtree_check'). NOTE: this default has changed since nfs-utils version 1.0.x exportfs: Warning: /media/sda5 does not support NFS export. [ OK ] * Starting NFS kernel daemon [ OK ] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo exportfs -a exportfs: /etc/exports [1]: Neither 'subtree_check' or 'no_subtree_check' specified for export "192.168.1.1:/media/sda5". Assuming default behaviour ('no_subtree_check'). NOTE: this default has changed since nfs-utils version 1.0.x exportfs: Warning: /media/sda5 does not support NFS export. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/media/sda5 is the mount point for my NTFS partition; please note the "Warning: /media/sda5 does not support NFS export" message. Instead, when running the previous commands on my mother's machine (exporting a FAT32 partition), I didn't get this warning. I'm not sure to which package this bug is related, but I guess it's the linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic kernel image package? So, is there a temporarily workaround/fix for this issue at the moment, or do I have to wait for the next kernel? Oh, and by the way, this can be of interest here: http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#nfs Regards and thanks in advance. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Can't share a NTFS partition through NFS on Gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159004 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
