BTW, I resolved this by mounting the whole share from the netapp, instead of just exporting /.snapshot to the Debian box.. it's still unclear whether this is a bug a feature.
This is not a problem on Solaris, so I would call it a bug. Also, mount does not work as it is documented in the manpage that comes with the 2.2 release. I filed a bug against the mount package. ----- Forwarded message from Rob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Date: Wed, 25 Oct 2000 19:47:58 -0700 From: Rob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: nfs mounting from netapp User-Agent: Mutt/1.0.1i Organization: Namodn Artists - http://www.namodn.com X-OS-Type: Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 Hello, I'm running Debian 2.2 and I'm having a problem mounting an NFS share from a NetApp. I can successfully mount the share ( it is a snapshot directory ) and browse the tree as root, but I cannot read all of the files as root. There is a directory in the share that is owned by UID 1001. If I create a user with this UID on the Debian box, it can read these files fine, but I cannot read the same files as root. When I try as root, I get either Input/Output error or Permission denied ( alternating ) Doing this from a Solaris box works fine as root. Additionally, the man page for mount specifies some options like "uid=0,gid=0,umask=666" that the mount command does not recognize. I do this : mount -o uid=0,gid=0,umask=666 192.168.1.1:/.snapshot /mnt/snapshot I get back : unknown nfs mount parameter: uid=0 Or gid=0, or umask=666, depending on which is first on the command line. Thanks for any hints. BTW: please CC: my email account, as I am not on debian-user ----- End forwarded message -----
