RE: nfs questions!!!

["bruce" <bedouglas earthlink net>]

hi frank!

i looked in the /etc/exports file.

i've made a number of changes trying to resolve this issue.

/college		192.168.1.*(ro)

i've tried (ro), (rw,ro), (ro,rw), etc...

on my client, i've done a umount/mount after each change. i've also
stopped/restarted the nfs before/after each change to the exports file.

on the client, when i try to edit a file, i still get that it's a readonly
file...

any thoughts... (i'm running a linux FC3 server, with a FC4 client)

thanks

Edit /etc/fstab and include the fileserver in that.

Example:

fileserver:/nas/NASDisk-00002/files  /mnt/fileserver  nfs  defaults     0 0

The /etc/exports file on your fileserver needs to have (rw) specified
instead
of (ro).
