Linux NFS permissions

by d_frost . Updated 25 years, 10 months ago

I’ve got an NFS permissions problem, I think, between two RH6.2 machines. I’ve got a program that is dumping files out of an Oracle database. (I don’t have details on how) They are able to overwrite the files in the existing directories when they’rewriting to a local directory, but not when the dir they write to is an NFS Mounted dir on on another machine.

I’m open to any ideas as how to to best make the NFS mount directory permissions as close to the same as a local dir as possible.

I’mexporting the dir in /etc/exports with:(rw,all_squash,anonuid=400,anongid=400)

When I try to delete files I create from a console, I’m told they’re read only (but it lets me do it anyway?). The permissions appear to be 644 on files I create. Since I’m the owner (as my user or squashed to 400), why does it ask that? Is that problem why Oracle won’t overwrite those files, or something more? More details available on request….
