I'm trying to set up (one-way) file sharing between my two PC's using NFS. The target file system on the server appears to get mounted on the client, but I can't see any files on it. For troubleshooting I'm using the troubleshooting section of the NFS-HOWTO v3.1 2002-08-25. The answer might be staring me in the face but I don't see it. Can someone help?
NFS Server: 1. Running Fedora 9 2. Static IP: 192.168.1.150 3. /etc/exports: /mnt 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw) 4. /mnt has two files systems mounted on it: /windows and /large_downloads 5. /etc/fstab entries for the two subdirectories of /mnt: UUID=768B-E069 /mnt/windows vfat uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=0000 0 0 UUID=4f26a47f-28c3-4e5e-b6d0-6817891af123 /mnt/large_downloads ext3 defaults 1 2 (I changed the uid, gid from 500 to 1000 to match my client) 6. My user account has UID=500,GID=500 NFS Client: 1. Running Ubuntu 8.04 2. Dynamic IP (set by DHCP) 3. I manually issue: sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.150:/mnt /mnt/nfs 4. My user account has UID=1000,GID=1000 On my client, if I follow GNOME Places -> Computer -> Filesystem -> /mnt I see the two directories /windows and /large_downloads. However, if I try to display the contents of the /windows directory, nothing is displayed. The same thing happens if I try to view the contents of /windows via "sudo gedit" (i.e root access). The same thing happens for /large_downloads, but this is an ext3 where all the files are owned by UID=500,GID=500 (although the permissions are "read" for "others"). I tried two things suggested by the "Troubleshootng" section of the NFS-HOWTO: 1. On client view /proc/mounts: 192.168.1.150:/mnt /mnt/nfs nfs rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,hard,nointr,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,addr=192.168.1.150 0 0 2. on server view /proc/fs/nfs/exports: /mnt 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,root_squash,sync,wdelay,no_subtree_check) My NFS setup was based on two sources: 1. NFS HOWTO (referenced above) 2.
