Hi, Sylvain,
Thanks for the tip. The computer on which the tape drive is installed
is called ripley. I edited ripley's /etc/exports to include the line:
/dev/st0 weaver(rw,root_no_squash)
so that weaver's root could access ripley's tape drive. I'm still
getting the permission denied error. Is this the right syntax for
root_no_squash? Thanks,
Hidong
