NSF File Permission Denied

J

John Wright

Ok, I know there have be several posts on similar issues, but none that address this issue. I have posted to the Nas4Free board and they recommended I post it here as it most probably is a FreeBSD issue.

So, here goes.

I have several NSF shares on the NAS4Free server. Here is the exports file.
Code: 
/mnt/Media/camera -mapall=root -network 192.168.10.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
/mnt/Media/Photos -mapall=root -network 192.168.10.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
/mnt/Media/Music -mapall=root -network 192.168.10.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
/mnt/Media/Movies -mapall=root -network 192.168.10.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
/mnt/Files/Sheri -alldirs -mapall=root -network 192.168.10.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
/mnt/Files/NewJohn -mapall=root -network 192.168.10.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
/mnt/Files/John/FileCab1 -mapall=root -network 192.168.10.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
/mnt/Files/John/Documents -mapall=root -network 192.168.10.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
/mnt/Files/John/Applications -mapall=root -network 192.168.10.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
/mnt/Files/John -mapall=root -network 192.168.10.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
/mnt/Files/CalLib -mapall=root -network 192.168.10.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
/mnt/Files/Business -mapall=root -network 192.168.10.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
This file is generated by NAS4Free. Here is the result of the showmount -e localhost
Code: 
/mnt/Media/Photos                  192.168.10.0 
/mnt/Media/Music                   192.168.10.0 
/mnt/Media/Movies                  192.168.10.0 
/mnt/Media/camera                  192.168.10.0 
/mnt/Files/Sheri                   192.168.10.0 
/mnt/Files/John/FileCab1           192.168.10.0 
/mnt/Files/Business                192.168.10.0 
/mnt/Files/NewJohn                 192.168.10.0
Notice that CalLib, Documents, and Applications are all missing. I can mount all the directories that are being exported no problem. So the question is why are those three not being exported? I have checked privileges, ownership and about everything else I can think of all with no success.

I am really in a quandary and hope someone here is a lot smarter than me and can point me in the right direction.

Thanks.
 
There is no messages file. But the system.log file contains the following items:
Code:

But not totally sure what they mean. It is obvious that the problems involve the -mapall switch. But the other files have the same switch and export fine. So any help greatly appreciated.
 
Ok, So I think I have it figured out. The error codes sent me on a different search direction. It seems (and I should have known this) you can export file systems but not directories which is what I was trying to do. So I was able to export one of the directories but the rest in the same file system failed. Here's what I did, I exported the high level file system, then created links to the directories I need. Works like a charm.
By the way, here is the result of a df command:
Code: 
Files                          557G     39G    518G     7%    /mnt/Files
Files/Business                 525G    7.0G    518G     1%    /mnt/Files/Business
Files/John                     1.6T    1.1T    518G    69%    /mnt/Files/John
Files/Sheri                    599G     80G    518G    13%    /mnt/Files/Sheri
Media                          1.6T    534M    1.6T     0%    /mnt/Media
Media/Movies                   1.7T     98G    1.6T     6%    /mnt/Media/Movies
Media/Music                    1.6T     11G    1.6T     1%    /mnt/Media/Music
Media/Photos                   1.6T     43G    1.6T     3%    /mnt/Media/Photos
So I exported the /mnt/Files/John which has the files/directories I needed.
