i'm getting serious borkage from /etc/exports.... for instance, a lot of the things i export are exported as read only, even though i specifiy rw....it also appears that having a "ro" in the hostname makes it export read only... now this may all be a bunch of crap, i'm running a really experimental setup (masked baselayout, kernel 2.5.65-mm3, etc...) but all i have to do is change etc/exports and restart nfs, and things work or don't work (dependond on the changes....) so i doubt its kernel level....
can you post your /etc/exports ? I run nfs on a number of machines and have no issues like you state. And I *do* have hostnames with 'ro' in them ex: froggy I am able to export rw without issue to a box like 'froggy'. I am also using baselayout 1.8.6.4 & 1.8.6.4-r1 on all of my machines. I do not run any 2.5.x series kernels. All of my kernels are based on 2.4.20 I use nfs-utils-1.0.1-r1 (a few may still have nfs-utils-1.0.1) Here are a few entries from one of my /etc/exports (i modified the names) /foo/stuff/ \ froggy(rw,sync) foo(rw,sync) /foo/morestuff/ \ foo(sync) foo2(sync) froggy(sync) /foo/xtrastuff/ \ froggy(rw,sync) And entries in the corresponding fstab for 'froggy': server:/foo/stuff /bar/stuff nfs defaults 0 0 server:/foo/morestuff /bar/morestuff nfs defaults 0 0 server:/foo/xtrastuff /bar/xtrastuff nfs defaults 0 0 Have a good one, Jay
well, cannot reproduce and do not have additional info. please reopen if you have more info. Jay
turns out this was a bug on some kernels i was running at the time, anyone operating the -mm branch of 2.5 a couple months ago would have been bit =)
