I'm having a problem with my NFS server on a Debian 2.2 system. I've got a fresh installation of Debian on an old Pentium, on a LAN with the nfs-server package running. I have an export in /etc/exports set to be read-write without root squashing and mounted it read-write on another computer on the LAN. But when I try to write anything to the mounted filesystem on the client I get the error message "Read-only file system." It doesn't matter whether I'm a regular user or whether I'm root, I can't write anything to the mount. Even when I mount the export locally I can't write to it. I ensured that the export is indeed mounted rw by typing 'mount' to list the mounts.
Here is my /etc/exports file: / *.lan(rw,no_root_squash,nohide) /usr *.lan(rw,no_root_squash,nohide) /home *.lan(rw,no_root_squash,nohide) (The nohides are there so that when I mount "/" it recursively mounts "/usr" and "/home".) This is the command I issue to mount the "/" export locally and remotely: mount -t nfs -o rw gateway:/ /mnt This is the entry that appears when I type "mount" to see that the file system is mounted rw: gateway:/ on /mnt type nfs (rw,addr=192.168.1.1) This is what appears in /var/log/syslog when I mount the filesystem: Jul 31 11:39:29 gateway mountd[2373]: NFS mount of / attempted from 192.168.1.1 Jul 31 11:39:29 gateway mountd[2373]: / has been mounted by 192.168.1.1 My version of nfs-server is 2.2beta47. Any idea what I am doing wrong that's causing my NFS server to provide just read-only access? I am able to mount other NFS shares read-write on other systems not running Debian, so I don't think it's a problem with "mount". Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
