[kcella]

I am trying to create an nfs mount on my SuSE Linux box, but I keep etting the follwoing error showing up in my nfs server log:

Mar 10 22:49:18 <server> kernel: fh_verify: home/<user> permission failure, acc=8, error=30
Mar 10 22:49:31 <server> kernel: fh_verify: home/<user> permission failure, acc=4, error=13

Please help!!

How have you configured your exports?

Check in /etc/exports. For more information on setting up exports, type "man exports".

Also make sure the appropriate services are running... from memory you need portmapper, nfs and nfslock running (on Redhat 7.3 at least).

When are you getting that error, when you are trying to mount the share from another box, if so, how are you trying to mount it?

mount -t nfs 192.168.0.1:/home /mynfsmount

Something like the above?

Hope that helps.

I got it to work! It turns out my UIDs on the two machines didn't match. I fixed that and now everything is good. Although, I keep seeing these messages, which i don't understand:

Mar 12 21:03:22 barney kernel: svc: unknown version (3)
Mar 12 21:03:22 barney last message repeated 2 times

Any ideas?

thanks,

A quick Google search on that error seems to suggest that one host is using NFS Version 3 and the other, Version 2. Not too sure of the implications of this... might need to clock one down, or update the V2 host. Or they might work away happily. :P

Have a read at this link:

Might be worth forcing NFS2 on the NFS3 host.
