NFS share not allowing write access from host

Question

Hello,

I created an nfs share on the VNX. I added the host to the read/write access panel of the properties on the VNX. I can mount it, but when I try to create a file, I get permission denied. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You need to add the host to the 'root' list as well, otherwise the root user from that host will be seen as anonymous Claude

Thank you Dynamox and Bergec. I see it now and will add and test.

Is the VNX using NFSV4?

dynamox · Answer

I don’t think nfs4 is enabled by default.

dynamox · Answer

did you add the same host(s) under root

admingirl · Answer

I am still getting permission denied. I will check my syntax.

admingirl · Answer

Ok. I will continue to troubleshoot.

You Need to set the access rights to the Dir accordingly - see man chmod Rainer

Hi,

Thank you for your help. After opening a bunch of firewall ports and adding the host number into the root hosts, I can write to the directory but only as root. How do you open access for other users?

Thanks in advance!

You need to change after it's mounted

I know that, the strange thing is, for experimentation, I set the directory to 777, after the nfs mount is completed, it changes the directory permissions to 755.
