Hallo, because of a lack of diskspace I want to use another computer (HP-Workstation) as NFS-server. So I installed the base disks of debian and wanted to move /usr to the NFS server by
tar -cf usr.tar /usr and tar -xf usr.tar in the approriate directory of the server mounted via NFS. But I got: tar: Cannot change mode of file <...> to <644/755>: Operation not permitted for each file which is untared. The files exists after this mess of errormessages and have the right rights but the owner is root (the root of the server) and so rm -r usr ends with rm: <...> : Permisssion denied. OK, the reason is that the information in /etc/exports of the NFS-Server is not correct. I played around with several combinations of /usr/local/linux -access=<my.pc> /usr/local/linux -access=<my.pc>,root=<my.pc> /usr/local/linux -rw=<my.pc> ... Please don't ask me what ever I tried but nothing helped. Yes I did not forget to call exportfs -a after every change in /etc/exports. Is anybody out there who knows the right way to setup the server correctly???? Any help appreciatet Andreas.
