> I suspect that your client is trying something other than AUTH_SYS, perhaps AUTH_NONE?
I have specified auth=sys on the client side, hopefully that is working. Here's the entire mount string from my vm.cfg (i've tried quite a few variations of this as well): extra = "nfsroot=10.10.3.26:/volumes/datavol/nfsboottest,v3,tcp,noacl,sec=sys selinux=0" > Does 10.10.3.191 need access for this test? Or is there an error between it and 171? That is another server - i believe its the one I cloned/created the nfs root volume from, so safe to disregard. I've also tried exporting to * with no luck. Opensolaris build : I'm not sure, this is actually a NexentaStor install (i've been working with their support but no luck yet, so I thought I'd ask here), uname gives me SunOS nexentastor 5.11 NexentaOS_20081207. Which brings up a good point - I will setup a stock opensolaris VM and try to boot against that, to rule out nexenta or opensolaris as the issue - I'll report back soon. Here's snoop -v info from the end of that conversation, I've tried to remove irrelevant info (ether info, tcp header,etc). First up is a successful one, the fsinfo3 request and OK response. Second block is the denied request. Thanks so much for helping out, I will get back after I look at this against a stock install. ****Successful conversation in snoop -v:**** ETHER: ----- Ether Header ----- IP: ----- IP Header ----- IP: IP: Version = 4 IP: Source address = 10.10.3.147, nfstest.mycompany.com IP: Destination address = 10.10.3.26, solarisstorage.mycompany.com IP: No options IP: TCP: ----- TCP Header ----- TCP: TCP: Source port = 875 TCP: Destination port = 2049 (Sun RPC) TCP: RPC: ----- SUN RPC Header ----- RPC: RPC: Record Mark: last fragment, length = 104 RPC: Transaction id = 3782673754 RPC: Type = 0 (Call) RPC: RPC version = 2 RPC: Program = 100003 (NFS), version = 3, procedure = 19 RPC: Credentials: Flavor = 1 (Unix), len = 28 bytes RPC: Time = 17179575 RPC: Hostname = nfstest RPC: Uid = 0, Gid = 0 RPC: Groups = (none) RPC: Verifier : Flavor = 0 (None), len = 0 bytes RPC: NFS: ----- Sun NFS ----- NFS: NFS: Proc = 19 (Get filesystem information) NFS: File handle = [92A5] NFS: 25724DBD0808F2620A0003000000000098435C000A0003000000000098435C00 NFS: ETHER: ----- Ether Header ----- IP: ----- IP Header ----- IP: IP: Version = 4 IP: Source address = 10.10.3.26, solarisstorage.mycompany.com IP: Destination address = 10.10.3.147, nfstest.mycompany.com IP: No options IP: TCP: ----- TCP Header ----- TCP: TCP: Source port = 2049 TCP: Destination port = 875 (Sun RPC) TCP: RPC: ----- SUN RPC Header ----- RPC: RPC: Record Mark: last fragment, length = 164 RPC: Transaction id = 3782673754 RPC: Type = 1 (Reply) RPC: This is a reply to frame 44 RPC: Status = 0 (Accepted) RPC: Verifier : Flavor = 0 (None), len = 0 bytes RPC: Accept status = 0 (Success) RPC: NFS: ----- Sun NFS ----- NFS: NFS: Proc = 19 (Get filesystem information) NFS: Status = 0 (OK) NFS: Post-operation attributes: NFS: File type = 2 (Directory) NFS: Mode = 0755 NFS: Setuid = 0, Setgid = 0, Sticky = 0 NFS: Owner's permissions = rwx NFS: Group's permissions = r-x NFS: Other's permissions = r-x NFS: Link count = 16, User ID = 0, Group ID = 0 NFS: File size = 16, Used = 2560 NFS: Special: Major = 4294967295, Minor = 4294967295 NFS: File system id = 781684113433, File id = 3 NFS: Last access time = 13-Sep-09 10:15:18.093840277 GMT NFS: Modification time = 03-Sep-09 00:37:04.241715002 GMT NFS: Attribute change time = 03-Sep-09 00:37:04.241715002 GMT NFS: NFS: Read transfer sizes: NFS: Maximum = 1048576 bytes NFS: Preferred = 1048576 bytes NFS: Suggested multiple = 512 bytes NFS: Write transfer sizes: NFS: Maximum = 1048576 bytes NFS: Preferred = 1048576 bytes NFS: Suggested multiple = 512 bytes NFS: Directory read size: NFS: Preferred = 8192 bytes NFS: File system limits: NFS: Max file size = 9223372036854775807 bytes NFS: Server minimum time discrimination = 0.001000 sec NFS: Properties = 0x1b NFS: .... ...1 = Hard links supported NFS: .... ..1. = Symbolic links supported NFS: .... 1... = Pathconf cannot vary per file NFS: ...1 .... = Server can always set file times ****End successful conversation**** ****Unsuccessful / access denied conversation****** ETHER: ----- Ether Header ----- IP: ----- IP Header ----- IP: IP: Version = 4 IP: Source address = 10.10.3.147, nfstest.mycompany.com IP: Destination address = 10.10.3.26, solarisstorage.mycompany.com IP: No options IP: TCP: ----- TCP Header ----- TCP: TCP: Source port = 875 TCP: Destination port = 2049 (Sun RPC) RPC: ----- SUN RPC Header ----- RPC: RPC: Record Mark: last fragment, length = 76 RPC: Transaction id = 3799450970 RPC: Type = 0 (Call) RPC: RPC version = 2 RPC: Program = 100003 (NFS), version = 3, procedure = 20 RPC: Credentials: Flavor = 0 (None), len = 0 bytes RPC: Verifier : Flavor = 0 (None), len = 0 bytes RPC: NFS: ----- Sun NFS ----- NFS: NFS: Proc = 20 (Get POSIX information) NFS: File handle = [92A5] NFS: 25724DBD0808F2620A0003000000000098435C000A0003000000000098435C00 NFS: ETHER: ----- Ether Header ----- IP: ----- IP Header ----- IP: IP: Version = 4 IP: Source address = 10.10.3.26, solarisstorage.mycompany.com IP: Destination address = 10.10.3.147, nfstest.mycompany.com IP: No options IP: TCP: ----- TCP Header ----- TCP: TCP: Source port = 2049 TCP: Destination port = 875 (Sun RPC) TCP: RPC: ----- SUN RPC Header ----- RPC: RPC: Record Mark: last fragment, length = 20 RPC: Transaction id = 3799450970 RPC: Type = 1 (Reply) RPC: This is a reply to frame 47 RPC: Status = 1 (Denied) RPC: Reject status = 1 (can't authenticate) RPC: Why = 5 (too weak) ****End unsuccessful conversation***** -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
