I'm running Ubuntu server 14.04 as an NFS server to another 14.04 machine (one's a mail server the other a web server where I'd like to run the MailMan admin GUI). I'm using autofs to mount the exports on the other side:
In my /etc/exports I have the following:
/etc/mailman 10.10.10.102(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) /usr/lib/mailman 10.10.10.102(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) /var/lib/mailman 10.10.10.102(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) /run/lock/mailman 10.10.10.102(fsid=1,rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
On the client, I have an auto.master file with:
/net /etc/auto.net
and the auto.net script has the following:
opts="-fstype=nfs4,hard,intr,nodev,suid,async"
The first three all turn up as mounts on the other machine (under /net/10.10.10.103/) and I can use them fine.
The problem is that the last one appears, but the final directory beneath it gives me permission denied errors. I suspect this is because it's a lock directory, but don't know what that might mean for NFS:
root@alice:/# ls /net/10.10.10.103/run/lock/ mailman
root@alice:/# ls /net/10.10.10.103/run/lock/mailman/ ls: cannot access /net/10.10.10.103/run/lock/mailman/: No such file or directory
On the server I have the following in /etc/default/nfs-common (and similar on the client)
NEED_STATD=1 (because I'm using nfs3?) STATDOPTS="-n 10.10.10.103" NEED_GSSD=
How can I get /run/lock/mailman to export with the same permissions as it has on the server?
EDIT: I think this may be because /run/lock is on tmpfs on the server. /proc/mounts shows:
none /run/lock tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=5120k,nr_inodes=567757 0 0
I see that /run/lock/mailman is replicated as /var/lock/mailman though, which isn't tmpfs. However, when I try to export /var/lock/mailman it exports as /run/lock/mailman anyway.
Does NFS not export from tmpfs or something?
