I have a vfat partition mounted on box A and I am then trying to nfs mount that from box B. Box A looks to accept the nfs mount request OK judging by the /proc/fs/nfs and /var/lib/nfs entries, but box B is still denied the access; the message from box B (NFS client) being:
mount 192.168.255.131:/mnt/hda /mnt/disk/ mount: 192.168.255.131:/mnt/hda failed, reason given by server: Permission denied I have /etc/exports and /etc/hosts.allow set up OK. >From the NFS server (box A): cat /proc/fs/nfs/exports # Version 1.0 # Path Client(Flags) # IPs /mnt/hda 192.168.255.17(ro,no_root_squash,async,wdelay) # 192.168.255.17 cat /var/lib/nfs/etab /mnt/hda 192.168.252.0/255.255.252.0(ro,async,wdelay,hide,secure,no_root_squash,no_all_squash,subtree_check,secure_locks,mapping=identity,anonuid=-2,anongid=-2) cat /var/lib/nfs/xtab /mnt/hda 192.168.255.17(ro,async,wdelay,hide,secure,no_root_squash,no_all_squash,subtree_check,secure_locks,mapping=identity,anonuid=-2,anongid=-2) tail /var/log/messages Feb 19 19:54:38 lan-255-131 rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from 192.168.255.17:783 for /mnt/hda (/mnt/hda) Feb 19 19:54:38 lan-255-131 rpc.mountd: getfh failed: Operation not permitted Clues anyone? -- Howard.
