Nfs

[hirohitosan]

Hi there!
I just installed Ub9.1. I installed NFS server + client for transferring files. I have another FreeBSD box where I have both NFS server and client. I cannot write/delete files on mu Ub box.

On Ububtu /etc/exports

/home/my-folder    free.bsd.server(rw,sync,no_root_squash)

how can I set my NFS server to write on home folder

I assume you have mounted the share. Do the userIDs match across machines?

What have you got in your /etc/fstab to mount the share? It should look something like this on the client machine but with your details:

# Entry for /server/media/your_share
192.168.0.102:/media/your_share /media/local_mountpoint_for_share nfs users,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr

... where IP is the static IP of the other server. You don't need this so omit if you are not running with static IPs. You may need to run something to resolve DNS if this is the case. Hope that is of some help.

yes, of course. I can copy but I cannot write. The users ID are the same.

I have other two FreeBSD machines and with same user ID and I can also write on the mounted volume, but here I got "permission denied" message when I try to write.

nothing I didn't modify the fstab. I just mount the volume like this:
(on BSD machine, client)

# mount ubuntu.nfs.server:/home/my-folder /mnt/my-share/

and the volume was mounted successfully, but I cannot write (delete) on server export directory
