NFS - Can read but can't write

[baragon0]

I'm trying to use NFS to share files between two boxes on RedHat 8.

On the "server", I set /etc/exports to:

/var *(rw,sync,all_squash)

Then, on my "server" terminal:

/usr/sbin/exportfs -a -v

I restart nfs and nfslock

Then, I mounted it on my "client" using

mount 192.168.x.x:/var /mnt/name

I can read all files, now, but I can't write to them.

Any ideas?

try checking permissions on the exported directories

Did you re-compile your kernel to support NTFS writing? You do know it's dangerous and can corrupt the NTFS as that support is experimental?

If you want to share with your Windows os, the usual way is to create a separate fat32 partition as that is supported.

who said anything about ntfs???

[hello]

I am facing the same problem what you are encountering. Can any body help us?

I have NFS working at home.
Had a quick look at what all_squash does.
Reckon you might not have enough permissions on the original folder.
check to see if your /var has RW on the 'other' users set of permissions.
You might want to try exporting your home folder on the remote machine if you have one (it's what i do) and see how the permissions handle that (as they tend to be a lot more closed than maybe /var is)

Hope this helps
