On my net the same users have different numeric IDs on different machines. While id mapping takes care of this for the file ownership attribute, it won't work for user authentication for sec=sys mounted systems as I had hoped. So even though the files get displayed with correct user names on both ends, the server may think you a different person, most probably "nobody". I found out about this in mail archives: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.nfsv4/466 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.nfsv4/7103/focus=7105
On the whole, this issue seems to be a whishlist item for NFS (v5?), but not an actual bug in Ubuntu. I have to say that the complete lack of a comprehensive error message makes it quite difficult to understand, though. -- idmapping with nfs4 mounts not working in feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106401 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
