NFS: Permission denied

0
0

Not sure since what kernel, but you need to mount nfsd virtual file system on server. Otherwise you will get:

mount: 10.1.0.1:/var/cache/yum failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

To resolve it type:

on server root console

mount -t nfsd none /proc/fs/nfsd

You can safely make that permanent (automount on boot):

edit /etc/fstab and add following line

none                    /proc/fs/nfsd   nfsd     defaults 0 0

It took me a few hours to resolve this issue… There are so many questions about above Permission denied message over the Internet, but I didn’t find single answer with this hint…

More troubleshooting

  • Make sure you have NFS compiled in kernel.
  • Check the firewall settings and SELinux settings. Eventually disable both for test.
  • On Fedora Core 5 I found out the I’m getting:
    (...)
    _sqlite.OperationalError: database is locked

    Until I start NFS locking service on both server & client:

    service nfslock start

More resources: sharing between SELinux Fedora Core and non-SELinux system

Post Scriptum: this is an import of information that I wrote a while ago. Things might have changed since then.
