{BBI}Nexus{BBI} Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Some assistance please. I've created a rw nfs export, but when I mount it locally I can't write to the directory. I've googled around and searched this forum to no avail. Can anyone tell me what is missing from this fstab entry to facilitate local writing? /home/xxx/radio nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,nosuid,soft 0 0 Thanks.

paul Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 cat /etc/exports # /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported # to NFS clients. See exports(5). /vm-machines/sources 131.203.126.145(rw,sync,no_root_squash) cat /etc/fstab | grep sources 131.203.126.140:/vm-machines/sources /usr/portage/distfiles nfs defaults 0 2 works for me.

{BBI}Nexus{BBI} Posted August 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Thanks for the reply paul, I have changed my /etc/exports & /etc/fstab to the same settings as yours but I still get a permission denied when trying to write to the mounted nfs. A couple of questions: Does it matter that the nfs drive is vfat? and when I ls -ls the mounted nfs, it has, owner: 500 and group: 500, I have no such user on my system.
