Hi, these are permissions you should set at the server level, meaning at whatever machine is exporting the NFS drive. Make sure that the directory/drive being exported have the right permissions. So, on the server, have a look at the file /etc/exports. On my system, my server is exporting the directory /nfs_shares so the file looks like this:
Code: Select all
/nfs_shares   (insecure,rw,nohide,fsid=0)


If you are having trouble, please paste the output of these commands here:

A. On the server:
1. Check permissions :
Code: Select all
ls -l /path/to/nfs/dir/ | head -10

2. NFS export options:
Code: Select all
cat /etc/exports

B. On the client (replace <SERVER_NAME> with your server's name):
Code: Select all
cat /etc/auto.master
cat /etc/auto.<SERVER_NAME>
