Package: nfs-common Version: 1:1.1.2-6lenny1 Severity: wishlist It has taken me several attempts in the past weeks to switch from NFSv3 to NFSv4. Apparently the /nfs4exports directory I use as fsid=0 share needs to have 1777 (rwxrwxrwt) directory permissions. Otherwise the NFS client just hangs or throws error messages like "system call failed" or "access denied" problems on the client issuing the "mount" command. There are no decent log messages on the NFS server either. So it's apparently important to set the permissions correctly.
It would be nice to get a hint about directory permissions in the README.Debian.nfsv4. Could you please add that? -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages nfs-common depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii initscripts 2.86.ds1-61 Scripts for initializing and shutt ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomerr2 1.41.3-1 common error description library ii libevent1 1.3e-3 An asynchronous event notification ii libgssglue1 0.1-2 mechanism-switch gssapi library ii libkrb53 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-5lenny1 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libnfsidmap2 0.20-1 An nfs idmapping library ii librpcsecgss3 0.18-1 allows secure rpc communication us ii libwrap0 7.6.q-16 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii netbase 4.34 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii portmap 6.0-9 RPC port mapper ii ucf 3.0016 Update Configuration File: preserv nfs-common recommends no packages. nfs-common suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
