 |
|
After reading the NFS FAQ for Gentoo, as well as the sourceforge one, I am led to believe that all I need to do in order to allow write access via NFS is make sure the drives are mounted with the "rw" option as defined in my /etc/exports file. Is this true? Writes fail, and I suspect I am missing something. All shares mount cleanly and can be read from.
My kernel config for both the client and server machines have the following enabled:
| Code: | <*> NFS file system support
│ │ [*] Provide NFSv3 client support
│ │ <*> NFS server support
│ │ [*] Provide NFSv3 server support
│ │ [*] Provide NFS server over TCP support |
And this is my /etc/exports file:
| Code: | | /home/$USER/public_html $IP_ADDRESS/MASK(async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,rw) |
Do any of you know what I am missing?

a) try to write a file on the client as root there, because the server will still check permissions - user ID etc.
b) mount the exported directory on the server itself - for debugging purposes. |

The exported directory is already mounted on the server, it mounts at boot. Writing under root from the client to the server worked; is this because root has the same UID and GID on both machines? Will I have to have an identical user, with the same ID, on both machines to be able to write?
