I have been having some trouble getting my nfs share to mount correctly. I am able to view, but can not write. The desktop client is a fresh install of openSuSe 12.2 x64.
Remote server 1 is Ubuntu Server 12.10 x64
Remote server 2 is FreeNAS 8.2 x64
The client’s fstab is as follows:
# mirrored backup on file server
192.168.1.148:/export/backup /mnt/backup nfs vers=3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,intr,noatime 0 0
# NAS on file server
192.168.1.148:/export/storage /mnt/remote nfs vers=3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,intr,noatime 0 0
# multimedia files on media server
192.168.1.122:/mnt/storage/media /mnt/media nfs rsize=131072,wsize=131072,intr,noatime 0 0
The multimedia files on 192.168.1.122 mounts and is rw, so no problem there.
Here is the exports file on the server that does not mount as rw
The multimedia share misses the “vers” option. That’s a thing I see. But … on my server / clients I use the “defaults” option, shares are mounted " rw " is the original share is " rw ".
WHen I look at the mounted files through the client, this is how it looks:

when I access the server, this is how it looks:

drwxrwxrwx 6 server users 63 Jan 31 14:57 SickBeard
The working nfs mount appears as such:
drwxr-xr-x 56 linux root 56 Jan 23 15:37 iTunes
drwxr-xr-x 4 linux root 4 Feb 5 11:47 movies
drwxr-xr-x 82 linux root 83 Jan 25 22:49 tvshows
when I try to create a file, I get the following error:
linux@suse-desktop:/mnt/remote> touch test
touch: cannot touch âtestâ: Read-only file system
what are your rights in /mnt/remote ? Based on that you should change the rights to be able to ‘touch’ a file. Not sure how it affects the NFS as I don’t know under what user that is mounted.
here is what I get when I do an ls -l in /mnt/remote
linux@suse-desktop:/mnt> cd remote/
linux@suse-desktop:/mnt/remote> ls -l

and in case I have something setup wrong, when logged in with the main user account and running ‘id’ I get the following:

That file has a strange format. The documented format in the man page is
like this:
> EXAMPLE
> # sample /etc/exports file
> / master(rw) trusty(rw,no_root_squash)
> /projects proj*.local.domain(rw)
> /usr *.local.domain(ro) @trusted(rw)

> /build buildhost[0-9].local.domain(rw)
>

> and an IPv4 subnet. The eighth line demonstrates a character class wildcard match.
I do not see the “-alldirs” parameter you use in the man page. I don’t
know what the “-network” means, either. And the last thing would be a
“()” with options inside.

The working exports / nfs mount is a FreeNAS / BSD system, hence the strange format. I did not set this up in the exports file manually, rather it was created by the FreeNAS GUI automatically.
As for my problem, I do not seem to be any further ahead, and I realize that my initial posts may be a little confusing… so… I am going to try again from the top.

as posted previous, here are the exports files on the file server:
I don’t know how you broke the formatting, so I can’t be absolutely
sure, but I think this is your problem. You are NOT allowed to have
whitespace between the client and the parenthesised list of options. So
I think you have requested default options, which includes ‘ro’.
BTW

One important thing to remember about NFS is that it uses UIDs and they,
and most other attributes of filesystems, are preserved across the mount
unless you do something special. For that reason, it is usual in most
networks that use NFS to make sure that the list of users and groups
(/etc/passwd & /etc/group) is the same on every machine, otherwise
confusions like this will happen.
So your ubuntu box has a user called ‘server’ and a group called
‘server’. We don’t know what the UIDs are but we can see that on your
desktop the user UID maps to a user called ‘linux’ whilst the group UID
is 1000 and there is no group on that machine with that UID.

I guess you’re trying to help. But please restrict your attempts to
subjects that you know something about. You clearly don’t understand how
NFS works, so please stop confusing people until you do.

Yes, don’t ask me how I know that particular gotcha!
