Hello EB,

I am using dual boot windows XP and Redhat. I mounted ntfs partition using ntfsmount command(ntfsprogs-1.13.1)
#ntfsmount /dev/sda1 /windows -o rw,fmask=0000,dmask=0000

Now I am tring to share using nfs - /etc/exportfs
/windows *(rw)

But when i try to mount this partition on client machine I am getting following error -
[root@client root]# mount -o ro 172.30.0.8:/windows win/
mount: 172.30.0.8:/windows failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

Logs on Nfs server shows -
[root@client tmp]# tail -f /var/log/messages
Apr 26 15:13:41 ud8 rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from 172.30.0.7:726 for /windows (/windows)
Apr 26 15:13:41 ud8 rpc.mountd: getfh failed: Operation not permitted

Anybody have any solution on this???
Can we share ntfs partition using nfs or is there any different way to do this??

Thanks,

Try to replace

Restart NFS and mount again

Hello Vivek,

Tried with root_squash

[root@nfs tmp]# cat /etc/exports
#
/windows *(rw,root_squash)


[root@client root]# mount 172.30.0.8:/windows win/
mount: 172.30.0.8:/windows failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

What is the output of following?
The output from the above command shows you the directories exported, and to whom they are exported.

Also run
Make sure rpc and nfs client services are running on client

Make sure rpc and nfs server running on server itself


Also make sure your client IP address exists in /etc/hosts on nfs server and server IP exists in /etc/hosts on client

Lemme know

NFS doesn't work correctly with IP Tables, you need to do some specific config to make it work with iptables, this may help:
Linux NFS-HOWTO
Tutorial: Configure NFS under Linux for IPTABLES control

Or if you want a quick solution just turn the iptables off when you finish work enable it again
