nfs error: reason given by server: Permission denied
I am trying to mount a nfs filesystem confiugred on rhel4 server on a rhel5 server. I have added the mountpoint in /etc/exports file & have done exportfs -arv. But when i am trying the mount the filesystem on rhel5 system it is giving :
mount: epoaqa01:/filesystem failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
This filesystem is nfs mounted on rhel4 server using netapp storage on a folder & i am trying to mount that folder on rhel5 server getting above error. kindly help in this regard.
Thanks

What is the content of your exports file?
ASKER
/u01/app/oracle/product/ep
/xfile *.abc.com(rw,sync,insecure
first filesystem is getting mounted while the second filesystem is not getting mounted. giving error for second mount point.

Does "/xfile" exist on the server?What is the output of:ls -ald /u01 /xfile
You can not reshare a mounted partition which is what it sounds you are trying to do.
i.e.rhel4 mounts an NFS partition from somewhere. You now on the rhel4 want to extend access to this partition to the rhel5.
This can not be done since the altimate access is granted by the source of the partition.
You should confifigure rhel5 to access the NFS partition directly from the system that hosts it.

permission of /u01 and /xfile :-
[root@server ~]# ls -ald /u01 /xfile/
drwxr-xr-x 4 oracle dba 4096 Jun 15 09:58 /u01
drwxrwsr-x 10 oracle dba 4096 Sep 7 12:51 /xfile/
hi arnold,
Both the above mount points are nfs mounted from netapp storage, but one is able to mount & the other is not. That is wht i am figuring out.

Where, and how, are you trying to mount them on the remote end?
/file has a setgid set.
Any reason why you are not granting the rhe5 access to the device from the netapp?
NFS/netapp will arbitrate access/modifications to the files.
What is the source of /xfile how are the permissions on the netapp vary for the two partitions??

The filesystem is mounted on server1:/xfile from netapp storage which is rhel4. I am trying to mount it on server b (rhel5) as :
mount server1:/xfile /mnt
or
mount -t nfs server1:/xfile /mnt
Nothing is working. getting the permission denied error. exports file is already been provided for the same.
mount server1:/xfile /mnt
or
mount -t nfs server1:/xfile /mnt
Nothing is working. getting the permission denied error. exports file is already been provided for the same.
what do the logs on the netapp say? or on the client host?
ASKER
Arnold, i changed that permission to check if i am able to nfs mount the directory. The source of xfile on rhel4 server is the netapp volume mounted as nfs mount on mountpoint /xfile. On rhel5 server , we want to mount this mount point to copy the contents of this directory to the directory on rhel5 server.
Is anything else mounted under /mnt? If so, this could cause an issue. It is best to create a new mount, or really just used the standard of network mounted filesystems using the /net mount. You can create something like this:
/net/xfile
/net/xfile

Please post your /vol/vol0/etc/exports file from the netapp.

Currently i will not be able to provide the logs. Thanks for commenting on the questions. Got some hint on what to check from storage side.
