Hello, I'm wondering why a mount of a nfs4 directory exported by a user mode linux image (hostname n22_uml) at a mount point of the host (hostname n22) doesn't work simply. Instead I've to specify the parameter "n22_uml:" oncy. After that all subsequent umount/mounts of that particular file systems works w/o specifying "n22_uml:". n22 ~ # mount /mnt/nfs/n22_uml mount.nfs4: No such device n22 ~ # mount -t nfs n22_uml: /mnt/nfs/n22_uml mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting n22_uml: n22 ~ # mount -t nfs4 n22_uml: /mnt/nfs/n22_uml n22 ~ # umount /mnt/nfs/n22_uml n22 ~ # mount /mnt/nfs/n22_uml n22 ~ # umount /mnt/nfs/n22_uml The fstab entry at the host system : n22 ~ # grep nfs /etc/fstab n22_uml: /mnt/nfs/n22_uml nfs4 noauto The exports file at the UML : n22_uml ~ # cat /etc/exports # /etc/exports: NFS file systems being exported. See exports(5). /tmp n22*(rw,fsid=0,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash) The host runs 2.6.30.5, the UML 2.6.31-rc8. -- MfG/Sincerely Toralf Förster pgp finger print: 7B1A 07F4 EC82 0F90 D4C2 8936 872A E508 7DB6 9DA3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
