Hello,
I am trying to do something relatively straightforward (one might think) but, so far, I can't get it working.
I am trying to access a home directory for userA on RedHat machine X (kernel ver 2.4.21-4-ELsmp) from machine Y (also RedHat kernel ver: 2.4.18-smp).
On machine Y, the directory seems to be a Read-only filesystem even though it was mounted rw.
On machine X: the /etc/exports file has the entry:
/home/userA machineY's ip address (rw,no_root_squash,sync)
I have issued the exportfs command to tell nfs which directory to share.
On machine Y:
The /etc/fstab entry has something like this:
machine X's ip address:/home/userA /remote rw,hard,intr 0 0
The mount command shows that the directory was mounted as rw but when I try to update a file created on file X, I get a message saying it is a Read-only file system.
The /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files on machine A both exist but currently have no entries.
What do I have to do to get this file system (or directory) to be read/writable on machine Y?
Thanks.
