I'm not modifying the /etc/exports file. I tried the following command in the remote machine exportfs -v -i 192.168.0.100:/root/dvddir/ -o no_root_squash
And tried to mount it in the local machine using the following command. mount -t nfs 192.168.0.101:/root/dvddir/ laptopdvd/ It displays the following message. mount: 192.168.0.101:/root/dvddir/ failed, reason given by server: Permission denied - Jos Collin On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 7:47 PM, François Cerbelle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > > Le Mar 19 août 2008 15:53, Jos Collin a écrit : > > debian:~# mount -t nfs 192.168.0.101:/root/dvddir/ laptopdvd/ > > mount: 192.168.0.101:/root/dvddir/ failed, reason given by server: > > Permission denied > > I don't know whether it is a problem because of the read-only file > system. > > No, I think it is because [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not allowed to mount > /root/dvddir > with NFS. > Add the option "no_root_squash" on the "/root/dvddir" line, in the > /etc/exports file > > Francois >
