NFS share not allowing write access from host

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

    Is the VNX using NFSV4?

    I don’t think nfs4 is enabled by default.

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

    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
