Debian Diskless client mounts FS as Read Only

Debian Diskless client mounts FS as Read Only

[Bill Shupp]

I am trying to setup a Debian Woody diskless client.  I followed 
instructions located here to make it work with my PXE enabled 3com NIC:

http://zeewier.blub.net/~jdv/pxe-debian.html

Everything is working fine, except the root file system is still being 
mounted as read only, and I don't know why.  Here's my entry in 
/etc/exports:

/nfsroot/webcam 192.168.1.31(no_root_squash,rw,sync)

Here's what's in /proc/fs/nfs/exports:

/nfsroot/webcam 192.168.1.31(rw,no_root_squash,sync,wdelay) # 192.168.1.31


The server is also Debian Woody, both using the 2.4.18 kernel (the 
client's kernel was compiled manually to avoid modules).

Here's what apt-get show nfs-common shows for the version:

Source: nfs-utils
Version: 1:1.0-2woody3

Lastly, here are the kernel boot parameters I'm using:

ip=dhcp nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/nfsroot/webcam root=/dev/nfs init=/sbin/init

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Bill Shupp

Sorry folks.. the debootstrap didn't setup the fstab in the client's etc 
directory (how could it?).  Anyway, once I put the right entries in 
there, all is working well.

Thanks!
