If you have mounts like

/dev/wrong-device pointing to /my-preferred-storage-space

Simply change the device to the one you actually want.

--------------------------
.

Server end:

# df -h /home/exports/home
Filesystem               Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/mapper/fedora-home  2.7T  4.8G  2.5T   1% /home

So that's where I want to put ,y nfs data.

I have a directory /home/exports/home/ where I put an empty file "xxxtest."

# ll /home/exports/home/
total 0
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Apr 18 11:05 xxxtest

Did:  # exportfs -r

Then:

# showmount -e box86
clnt_create: RPC: Unknown host
Uhm, that looks like "box86" either isn't in DNS or /etc/hosts so it
can't be resolved. If this is on the server, try "showmount -e" or
"showmount -e localhost".

Client end:

No access from the client -

bobg]# mount 192.168.1.86:/home/exports/home  /mnt/test
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting
192.168.1.86:/home/exports/home

What am I missing and/or doing wrong?
We don't know what your server's /etc/exports line that exports the
directory looks like, so there's no way to tell. The line should be
something like:

        /home/exports/home     192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_root_squash)

From a subsequent mail in this thread it seems to me that Bob has the following in /etc/exports (using Rick's syntax above):

                /exports/home 192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_root_squash)

which seems to me to be providing network access to the exports/home directory on whatever device in the server is the "/" mount point.

If this is the case it seems to me that /etc/exports should have a specification like Rick's, assuming directory /home/exports/home exists on the server, and then the client should have the follow in /etc/fstab:

                192.168.1.86:/home/exports/home/ /mnt/test/        nfs4    defaults    0 0

or am I missing something?


regards,

Steve



meaning that /home/exports/home is exported with read/write privileges
to all hosts on the 192.168.1.* network, and that if a client mounts it
as the root user, the root user ID is NOT squashed to the "anonymous"
user on the server. You could run

        showmount -e 192.168.1.86

on the client to see what the server is exporting.
