I'm having a problem mounting a nfs share exported by my gentoo server. The client problem occurs on an opensolaris box running 2008-11 build 109.
I have an ancient /etc/exports that may be way out of date... I rarely use nfs. But I've begun setting up a NAS that consists of an OpenSolaris server with ZFS file sytem. I hoped to use NFS to handle backs ups and other work between linux boxes and solaris NAS, with windows boxes using CIFS. It doesn't really make sense to mount the other way round, like serving from OpenSol and client at gentoo host since a general backup plan will be running from the Solaris box and effecting all lan machines. At least that was my first thought. But really would like to understand what is needed in either direction. Here is the line from /etc/exports (on gentoo server): /pub 192.168.0.0/22(rw,insecure,o_root_squash,subtree_check) This is the command [and result] from Opensolaris client: mount -F nfs -o ro reader:/pub /pub nfs mount: security mode does not match the server exporting reader:/pub I think it is some basic problem between the two NFS implementations and even found a redhat bug saying as much here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=467613 Those export lines (in the bug report) are vastly different than mine.. I know next to nothing about what `should' be on those lines.... I probably copy/pasted the one I'm using years ago from somewhere. So, there is some chance, probably even a good chance that its just some dopey error of mine causing the problem.
