Hello,
a local account on a nfs client couldn’t write to a ganesha nfs export even with directory
permissions 777. The solution was to create the account on the ganesha servers, too.
Please can you confirm that this is the intended behaviour? is there an option to change
this and to map unknown accounts to nobody instead? We often have embedded Linux
appliances or similar as nfs clients which need to place some data on the nfs exports
using uid/gid of local accounts.
We manage gids on the server side and allow NFS v3 client access only.
I crosspost this to ganesha support and to the gpfsug mailing list.
Thank you,
Heiner Billich
