Let's say I have two centos hosts, vmhost and vmhost2, which both have the homedirs mounted using autofs: [root@vmhost2 ~]# cat /etc/auto.home /etc/auto.home # # File: /etc/auto.home # * -fstype=nfs4,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 fileserver.in.example.com:/home /& [root@vmhost2 ~]# [root@vmhost ~]$ cat /etc/auto.home /etc/auto.home # # File: /etc/auto.home # * -fstype=nfs4,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 fileserver.in.example.com:/home /& [root@vmhost ~]$ I am logged into both hosts and /rpoc/mount shows my homedir mounted. Note the options listed are slightly different [root@vmhost2 ~]# fgrep raub /proc/mounts fileserver.in.example.com:/home/raub /home/raub nfs4 rw,relatime,vers=4.0,rsize= 8192,wsize=8192,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr =192.168.15.20,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.1518 0 0 [root@vmhost2 ~]# [root@vmhost ~]$ fgrep raub /proc/mounts fileserver.in.example.com:/home/raub /home/raub nfs4 rw,relatime,vers=4,rsize=81 92,wsize=8192,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,port=0,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clien taddr=192.168.15.19,minorversion=0,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.15.18 0 0 [root@vmhost ~]$ I am not able to write to my homedir in vmhost2. I do not see anything in /var/log/messages, /var/log/audit/audit.log, or /var/log/secure [raub@vmhost2 ~]$ touch me touch: cannot touch 'me': Permission denied [raub@vmhost2 ~]$ It does show the right uid/gid though [raub@vmhost2 ~]$ ls -lh bogus -rw-r--r--. 1 raub raub 408 Jun 23 2008 bogus [raub@vmhost2 ~]$ Where else should I be looking for clues? It feels like I missed something on vmhost2... but can't figure out what. Suggestions?
