Mounting problem

Hi All,


While I mounting a file system of another unix mathine to my unix system I got nobody ownership for mounted file system.

e.g
mount umachine:/dir/path /mpoint
ls -lrtd /mpoint
drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody nobody 1024 Jul 21 06:33 /mpoint

Please help me in this regard

Thank you

Weird.

Also, not that I've tried it, but can root not just chmod nobody's files?

Taken out of context, that sentence is just bizarre ...

Hi,

I am unable to change the ownership for the mounted folder and I am unable to create any sub folders.

I also created a exports file also. But nothing happend.

Please try it.

Thank you

what does that show you for /mpoint?
can you chown /mpoint with it unmounted then remount it?

Hi,

After unmounting I am able to do chown. After remounting it shows nobody again.

Thank you.

Is the path on the remote machine exported read-only (ro)?

Hi,

First of all there was no /etc/exports file in remote machine. So I created the file and gave read/write (rw) permission for the file system in remote machine. And I ran exportfs -a command. But nothing happend in my machine.
So currently I removed that file and ran again the same command in remote machine.
So exports file might be in some other location with some other name OR there is no need to create this file and there should be another logic/technique used.

Please help me.

Thank you.
