Re: mount -u -o rw / not working on NFS?
diskless101#mkdir /aaa mkdir aaa: Read-only file system Question: if the remount did not succeed, why didn't it throw an error? If succeeded, why can't I write on the filesystem? The answer to the second portion is that you're mounted as a read only file system, so there's no write access. You were right. Actually I had /etc/exports file setup correctly, but I forgot to invoke "killall -HUP mountd" after the last change. My bad. :-( But... I'm still interested in the first portion. Why didn't I get an error message if the nfs share was read-only? There's an nfs permissions file you may need to edit, /etc/exports/, which controls whether NFS shares the file system as read only, read write, whether root can have root on the file system etc. The case is solved, but I still have this question. :-) Thanks, Laszlo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

mount -u -o rw / not working on NFS?
Hi All, I have a system where a diskless FreeBSD 6.3 i386 machine boots with pxeboot from a FreeBSD 6.3 amd64 machine. I have lines in /etc/fstab for the diskless machine like: # DeviceMountPoint FsType Options DumpPass 172.16.0.1:/usr /usrnfs rw 0 0 172.16.0.1:/mnt/d2/rootfs/root /root nfs rw 0 0 The machine boots from network nicely, then I can login as root and invoke these commands: mount -u -o rw / mount -u -o rw /usr mount -u -o rw /root There is no error message on the console, nor in the system log. However, this happens afterwards: diskless101#mkdir /aaa mkdir aaa: Read-only file system Question: if the remount did not succeed, why didn't it throw an error? If succeeded, why can't I write on the filesystem?
