I am running RH 6.1 and mounting Solaris 2.6 filesystems using NFS. I would like to mount them ro. Users could not open files in directories mounted this way, so reviewed the posts from the recent past and found this one: >Date: Wed, 12 May 1999 16:19:18 -0400 (EDT) >From: "Steve \"Stevers!\" Coile" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: NFS between 2.2.6 and 2.0.36 >Message-ID: ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII > >On Wed, 12 May 1999, Zach Tippit wrote: > > I've just upgraded one of our servers to 2.2.6.

For example, this doesn't work (users see files as locked, can't open them): ro,nosuid,nolock,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,intr,soft But this does (users can open files): nosuid,nolock,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,intr,soft (the file system is mounted rw) By the way ... the order doesn't matter. Nolock,ro and ro,nolock both lock the users out of the files. Can anyone tell me how to get ro and nolock to work together? Am I expecting too much to think that RH should work with Solaris out of the box? -- Peter Stoddard System Administrator, Environmental Monitoring and Pest Management Branch California Department of Pesticide Regulation California Environmental Protection Agency (916) 324-4078, (916) 801-2395 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1* -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
