Now I execute the following command on the sco server: # mount -f NFS 192.168.201.1:/vol2/backup_opensco /mnt # mount / on /dev/root read/write on Fri Sep 15 15:04:32 2006 /stand on /dev/boot read only on Fri Sep 15 15:04:33 2006 /mnt on 192.168.201.1:/vol2/backup_opensco read/write on Fri Sep 15 17:36:17 Now the filesystem is mounted in read-write mode, and it belongs to root: # ls -ald /mnt drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 Sep 15 16:23 /mnt but I cannot write to it! # cd /mnt # echo "ciao" > ciao.txt ciao.txt: cannot create Anyone can explain me why? I guess the NFS exporting is right, and also the mounting, but it looks like there's a problem with owner and group. Any idea? Thanks, Luca
