I can read the network drive, but I cannot write to it. I have the following: server (192.168.25.115) in /etc/exports /backups/mark/inspiron 192.168.25.220(rw,all_squash) client (192.168.25.220) mount 192.168.25.115:/backups/mark/inspiron /mnt/inspiron -o rw After mounting, I can read files in /mnt/inspiron, but I cannot write them. The 'dd' command fails with 'Permission denied'. The mount command reveals: 192.168.25:115:/backups/mark/inspiron /mnt/inspiron type nfs (rw,address=192.168.25.115) I am running the client with a knoppix cd in the root console for knoppix. The root user on knoppix has uid/guid=0. Any ideas?
