List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Archive: I have a strange problem with an NFS client that can not mount file systems from some NFS servers. e.g.: mount clark:/disk1 /mnt/tmp mount: clark:/disk1 failed, reason given by server: Permission denied The server logs: Jan 23 12:56:02 clark rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from rc0478:623 for /disk1 (/disk1) Jan 23 12:56:02 clark rpc.mountd: getfh failed: Operation not permitted However, doing: mount clark:/disk2 /mnt/tmp works fine - after this mount, /proc/mounts shows: clark:/disk2 /mnt/tmp nfs rw,v3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,udp,lock,addr=clark 0 0 On the server, /disk1 and /disk2 are separate disks exported in exactly the same way: /disk1 *(rw) /disk2 *(rw) The server is running a 2.4.19 based kernel with nfs-utils v0.3.3 (RedHat 7.2) (all a bit old, but they work fine) The same client (running a 2.4.23 based kernel) is having the same problem with a few other servers (but not all). Some of these other servers are running a 2.4.21 based kernel. However, every other client (100's of them) has no problems mounting these same filesystems. Any ideas?
