OK. This is now all working. For anyone else who wants to use TFTP+NFS:
# in /nfs/exports we need to use the no_xxx_squash options else both root+normal users get mapped to nobody # without *both* options set neither root nor normal users can log in /home/path/to/rootfs <board ip address>(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_all_squash,no_root_squash) BTW the NFS host here is Debian which appears to default to all_squash. ~$ uname -a Linux debi7 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt11-1 (2015-05-24) x86_64 GNU/Linux # see User ID mapping documentation here: http://linux.die.net/man/5/exports From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: 03 July 2015 15:30 To: [email protected] Subject: [beagleboard] NFS root. Caanot log in ... So this is odd. Using TFTP boot and an export NFS file system, board boots and initializes correctly. I then get the usual prompt: Debian GNU/Linux 8 arm ttyO0 default username:password is [debian:temppwd] arm login: debian Password: But the login fails. Is there anything else that needs to be configured in the exported file system? The FS in question is the standard Debian Jessie image. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
