I'm running OpenBSD 3.2 and shlight, which has a share from my Windows XP machine mounted to it. What I'd like to do is access the share from a Slackware box on my network using NFS. Is this a possibility? When I try to mount it using nfs I get the following error:This is not possible. As you may have noticed, Sharity-Light (and Sharity) connect to the kernel through NFS. It is forbidden (by the NFS specification) to re-export data imported with NFS. There are good reasons to forbid this.
root@ishmael:/home/quadmonk# mount -t nfs pappy:/mnt/palahniuk /mnt/pappy
mount: pappy:/mnt/palahniuk failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
I've messed around with the permissions of the directory on the box running shlight and the slack box - now both dirs are 777. I've also tried running shlight using the -f and -d modes with 777, and finally tried using the -S option to make read/write "safe".
Any ideas? Or is this even possible?
Even if you can trick your operating system to allow the re-export, you won't be very happy with the result. NFS relies on permanent file handles for full functionality (if server and client are not always rebooted at the same time). Sharity-Light and Sharity don't have them.
