Can't copy over NFS

English Network/Internet

Hi!
I have setup a NFS-share from an SUSE Enterprise Server 10 SP1
This NFS-share i connect on my OpenSUSE11.2 64bits and mount is in /mnt

I can list files and directorys, but can’t copy. It manage to “copy” some folders, but then it stop and say it cant copy tjhe files and ask to skip files. Only folders are copyed/created localy but no files.

Where is the problem? Is it SLES or is it my local OpenSUSE?

What permissions have you given the nfs share on the server?
(Have a look at the /etc/fstab file)

I use NFS shares on SLES10 with no problems.

I read the fstab-file but there is nothing about NFS-shares.
I used NSF-server in Yast(GUI) to setup NFS-share.

In NFS-server(GUI) it say:
/root/Backup * fsid=0,ro,sync,root_squash

Its set to Read-Only, but i should be able to copy.

You need to set the permissions on the /root/backup directory to allow everyone to read.
It’s easier to control the permissions if you use ldap login. (it’s owned by root and usually root isn’t world readable - change the /root/backup to say /home/backup. Try reading /root as a normal user.)
Have a look at http://www.pcc-services.com/sles/nfs.html.
It’s well worth getting the pdf book for reference and the author responds to emails.

You don’t have write access in /mnt by default. And, AFAIK, you should set the NFS export to “rw”.
