NFS Question

[Mark Phillips]

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/

drwxr-xr-x   4 root root  4096 Jan 27 12:22 .
drwxr-xr-x  23 root root  4096 May 30  2005 ..

gandalf (192.168.25.114)
-----------------------------------------
/etc/exports 
/backups/mark latitude610(rw,root_squash,secure)

ls -al /backups/

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 ..


After mounting, the owner/group changed for /mnt/softball/backups/mark, but 
not for /mnt/gandalf/backups/mark:

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  3 1001 1001 4096 Jan 27 12:31 mark

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  5 mark mark 4096 Jan 26 12:17 mark

I cannot figure out why the owner/group for /mnt/softball/backups/mark changed 
from mark.mark to 1001.1001.

What am I missing? How do I fix it?

Thanks
