[Cialug] nfs issue

[Mike]

Check the "nas box" and see how it is being exported via
*# cat /etc/exports*

  showmount does not list the mounting options

for example:


*# cat /etc/exports*
/remote_mount 192.168.0.50(ro,all_squash) 192.168.0.100(ro) 
192.168.0.200(rw)

*# showmount -e localhost*
Export list for localhost:
/remote_mount 192.168.0.50,192.168.0.100,192.168.0.200

when I look at the exports file I have defined read-only for 2 locations 
and read write for one but showmount only lists the locations

If you are exporting as (ro) simply change to (rw).
