Hi all, - I experienced the same issue... I think it has something to do with filesystem antributes. To avoid this kind of situations on Solaris, a share option "anon=0" is defined on the solaris nfs server. <snip \\ solaris nfs share manpage> anon=uid Set uid to be the effective user ID of unknown users. By default, unknown users are given the effective user ID UID_NOBODY. If uid is set to -1, access is denied. </snip> - Are you using nfs version 3 or 4 ? - try a tcpdump and filter out all the sent and received from an to the nfs server/client. - Verify if you don't have any other security limitations on your nfs share defined. If any one knows the share option which needs to be defined in /etc/exports, I'll be glad to hear it! ;-) Hope this helps! grts, Kim Did you check if the filesystem(s) were mounted RW? Note that you can't always trust the output of mount. We ran into a kernel bug on some of our virtual servers a while ago where a file system became read-only in the event of busy I/O retry or path failover of the ESX Server's SAN storage (details available at http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd =displayKC&externalId=51306) Even though mount showed the file system mounted rw the file system was in fact write-protected as trying to remount it showed: # mount -o remount,rw / mount: block device /dev/rootvg/rootlv is write-protected, mounting read-only Considering 2 of your symptoms indicate a problem with the file system you might want to investigate in this direction.
