mount a remote file system

[RufusBuddy]

Hi...

I am trying to mount a remote file system. This is what I have done so far:
- On the remote Server, I shared a file system
share -F nfs -o rw /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s1

- On the local Server, I mounted the file system to a local directory
mount <REMOTE IP ADDRESS>:/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s1 /Karen

Now here is the problem. Before I mounted the remote file system, the rights on /Karen were drwxr-xr-x and after I mounted, the rights become brw-r and I cannot open the directory.

Should I have specified more rights when I shared or mounted?

Thank You

What does share command return on your server ?
When i try this on my station, the share returns the name of the physical device.

Why do you want to share a partition instead of the mount point directory ? I'd like to know

Thank you for your help. I started thinking about what you said and of course it made sense )

Anyways, this is what I did and everything is perfect now:
On the Remote Server A:
1 - mount partition on a directory on Server A.
2 - share the new directory on Server A to allow root access for my local server B.

cd /
mkdir KarenA
mount /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s1 /KarenA
share -F nfs -o root=<SERVER B's IP> /KarenA

On the Local Server B:
1 - mount the directory from Server A onto a directory on Server B

cd /
mkdir /KarenB
mount <SERVER A's IP>:/KarenA /KarenB

I know you already know this but I put it in here just in case there is someone else out there that is as new to this as I am.

Thanks again for your help.
