I have three Debian sarge machines on a network. Two servers (softball and gandalf) have kernel 2.6 and the laptop (latitude610) has kernel 2.4. NFS works when I connect to gandalf from latitude610, but I cannot write anything to softball. I can read the mount point on softball. The setup for the two servers is the same. softball (192.168.25.115) -------------------------------------------- /etc/exports /backups/mark latitude610(rw,root_squash,secure) ls -al /backups/ total 28 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan 27 12:22 . drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 May 30 2005 .. drwx------ 2 root root 16384 May 30 2005 lost+found drwxr-xr-x 3 mark mark 4096 Jan 27 12:31 mark gandalf (192.168.25.114) ----------------------------------------- /etc/exports /backups/mark latitude610(rw,root_squash,secure) ls -al /backups/ total 64 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jan 25 15:09 . drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 May 28 2005 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 49152 May 28 2005 lost+found drwxr-xr-x 5 mark mark 4096 Jan 26 12:17 mark drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 27 00:00 mysql latitude610 ---------------------- /etc/fstab 192.168.25.114:/backups/mark /mnt/gandalf/backups/mark nfs rw,noauto,user,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid,noexec,tcp,nfsvers=3 0 0 192.168.25.115:/backups/mark /mnt/softball/backups/mark nfs rw,noauto,user,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid,noexec,tcp,nfsvers=3 0 0 Before mounting: latitude610:/# ls -al /mnt/gandalf/ total 12 drwxr-xr-x 3 mark mark 4096 Jan 25 14:19 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jan 27 11:59 .. drwxr-xr-x 3 mark mark 4096 Jan 25 14:19 backups latitude610:/# ls -al /mnt/gandalf/backups/ total 12 drwxr-xr-x 3 mark mark 4096 Jan 25 14:19 . drwxr-xr-x 3 mark mark 4096 Jan 25 14:19 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 mark mark 4096 Jan 25 14:19 mark latitude610:/# ls -al /mnt/gandalf/backups/mark/ total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 mark mark 4096 Jan 25 14:19 . drwxr-xr-x 3 mark mark 4096 Jan 25 14:19 .. latitude610:/# ls -al /mnt/softball/ total 12 drwxr-xr-x 3 mark mark 4096 Jan 27 11:59 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jan 27 11:59 .. drwxr-xr-x 3 mark mark 4096 Jan 27 11:59 backups latitude610:/# ls -al /mnt/softball/backups/ total 12 drwxr-xr-x 3 mark mark 4096 Jan 27 11:59 . drwxr-xr-x 3 mark mark 4096 Jan 27 11:59 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 mark mark 4096 Jan 27 11:59 mark latitude610:/# ls -al /mnt/softball/backups/mark/ total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 mark mark 4096 Jan 27 11:59 . drwxr-xr-x 3 mark mark 4096 Jan 27 11:59 ..
