NFS trouble

I am having a hard time with NFS. Trying to mount an nfs directory from linux to windows. I did it successfully but the only thing is I can't write from Windows to the NFS folder.

My /etc/exports is
/music myIP(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
and I mounted it on windows with mount serverIP://music D:
and still can't write.
The /music folder is set to nobody [65534]:nogroup [65534] and 755 as the permissions.

  • In your export add no_root_squash

    Re-export and remount

  • ^ above tip should do the trick let us know.

    I added no_root_squash and still the same thing.

    Hello,

    I never set up NFS but, i don't get the point of setting nobody+nogroup is it to let everyone write in the folder ?
    If so maybe you can change permission to 777 but it is a security flaw.

    Can't you create a user account for /music and set it as folder owner ?

  • User mapping... very annoying and prone to fail
