I have an weird problem with a RedHat Linux server running v8.0. Here is what I have... Hostname Type of host L2000 HP-UX v11.00 Imaging-2k Windows 2000 Server nfstest RedHat Linux v8.0 (current up2date rpm's) I use the "nfstest" machine to mount a Windows share on the "Imaging-2k" server, then NFS export it out the HP/UX server. When I mount the directory from the "nfstest" machine, I cannot mount it. Here is what's configured on the "nfstest" machine. # rpm -qa | grep "nfs" redhat-config-nfs-1.0.1-3 nfs-utils-1.0.1-2 # rpm -qa | grep "samba" samba-client-2.2.7-2 samba-swat-2.2.7-2 samba-2.2.7-2 samba-common-2.2.7-2 # uname -a Linux nfstest 2.4.18-19.8.0 #1 Thu Dec 12 05:39:29 EST 2002 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux # cat /etc/fstab /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hda3 / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/hda5 /usr ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda6 /var ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda7 /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda8 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda9 /public ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 #none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 //imaging-2k/images /mnt/images smbfs username=administrator,password=xxxxxxxx,rw,fmask=777,dmask=777 1 2 # cat /etc/exports /mnt/images *(ro,sync,no_root_squash) # df -k Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 31079 11376 18099 39% /boot /dev/hda3 132221 95538 29856 77% / /dev/hda5 909136 485412 377540 57% /usr /dev/hda6 521748 60016 435228 13% /var /dev/hda7 256667 8241 235174 4% /tmp /dev/hda8 256667 8239 235176 4% /home /dev/hda9 3874076 2093608 1583676 57% /public //imaging-2k/images 138059776 122925056 15134720 90% /mnt/images -------------------------------------------------- Now on the HP/UX Unix host... # cat /etc/fstab /dev/vg00/lvol1 /stand hfs defaults 0 1 /dev/vg00/lvol3 / vxfs delaylog 0 1 /dev/vg00/lvol4 /home vxfs delaylog 0 2 /dev/vg00/lvol5 /opt vxfs delaylog 0 2 /dev/vg00/lvol6 /tmp vxfs delaylog 0 2 /dev/vg00/lvol7 /usr vxfs delaylog 0 2 /dev/vg00/lvol8 /usr/uv vxfs delaylog 0 2 /dev/vg00/lvol9 /var vxfs delaylog 0 2 /dev/vg00/lvol10a /pcexport vxfs rw,suid,delaylog,datainlog 0 2 /dev/vg00/lvol10b /pcshare vxfs rw,suid,delaylog,datainlog 0 2 /dev/vg00/lvol10c /webshare vxfs rw,suid,delaylog,datainlog 0 2 nfstest:/mnt/images /test nfs rw,bg,soft,suid 0 0 I try to mount the "/test" directory... # mount /test Permission denied -------------------------------------------------- Back on the "nfstest" server... # tail /var/log/messages Jan 8 09:21:30 nfstest rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from l2000:850 for /mnt/images (/mnt/images) Jan 8 09:21:30 nfstest rpc.mountd: getfh failed: Operation not permitted -------------------------------------------------- And here is the interesting twist, this worked fine before for about a year when the "nfstest" machine was originally RedHat v6.2. Now after I upgraded it to RedHat v8.0 using the same config files, it does not. Anyone have any idea how I can get around this???
