Re: [PLUG] Help with NFS Share

["Eric H. Johnson" <ejohnson@camalytics.com>]

Conor,

I tried both IP addresses and putting the server name in the hosts file of the client and referencing that name. I get the same error in both cases. It seems to me it has to be a permissions issue on the client, because I can connect just fine through Windows file manager for example. Thus I do not think it is a problem on the server. 

I have been playing around with folder permissions, ownership, etc. but so far no real difference. I am no doubt looking in the wrong place.

Thanks,
Eric

In the example you posted (OP), you were not manually specifying allowed IPs in the server's exports file. Have you tried doing that?

I felt the same way about NFS, and I do think it is drop-dead simple to set up when you're in an all-nix environment. Samba does allow easily sharing cross platform, though, if that's of any interest to you. But you're right, on a home network, if you're using Linux all around, NFS can be a real breeze.

The current configuration problems notwithstanding, naturally.
