Mounting nfs from solaris client on linux server

Hi folks,

I'm having a lot of trouble mounting an NFS share on a solaris machine
(SunOs 5.10) that has been exported on a SuSE 10.2 linux. Probably
someone has a smart idea:

On the server side (linux), we have:

# cat /etc/exportfs:

latraviata:/home/thor # cat /etc/exports
Importing Net File System (NFS) done
latraviata:/home/thor # cat /etc/exports
# See the exports(5) manpage for a description of the syntax of this file.
# This file contains a list of all directories that are to be exported to
# other computers via NFS (Network File System).
# This file used by rpc.nfsd and rpc.mountd. See their manpages for details
# on how make changes in this file effective.

/local_data/thor/store
129.69.12.14(ro,subtree_check,nohide,insecure,inse cure_locks)
/local_data/thor/store moon(ro,subtree_check,nohide,insecure_locks)
#/local_data/thor/store *(ro,subtree_check)
#/ *(ro,subtree_check)

# ls -ld /local_data/thor/store/
drwxr-xr-x 42 thor root 1264 31. Jul 16:24 /local_data/thor/store/

Thus, the directory exists and is accessible. I only want and need a
read-only access on it, see the vfstab below.

# exportfs
/local_data/thor/store
moon
/local_data/thor/store
129.69.12.14

Directories are exported.

Portmap and mountd are running:

root 7322 1 0 17:06 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd
nobody 7047 1 0 16:44 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/portmap

# cat /etc/hosts.allow:

portmap: 129.69.12.7
portmap: 129.69.12.14
mountd: 129.69.12.7
mountd: 129.69.12.14
rpc.mountd: 129.69.12.7
rpc.mountd: 129.69.12.14
rpc.nfsd: 129.69.12.7
rpc.nfsd: 129.69.12.14

This machine (server) is 129.69.12.7, the solaris (client) is 129.69.12.14.

On the solaris machine, we have this in the vfstab:

129.69.12.7:/local_data/thor/store - /local/store nfs
- yes ro

I can ping both ways, ssh both ways, etc. The network is fine.

Then, if I run a

# mount /local/store/
nfs mount: 129.69.12.7:/local_data/thore/store: No such file or directory

on the client (solaris) it won't let me on the linux server.

I run wireshark (ethereal) on the linux server, get the RPC/NFS packets
fine, but I do see the following:

Network File System
[Program Version: 4]
[V4 Procedure: COMPOUND (1)]
Tag: mount
minorversion: 0
Operations (count: 11)
Opcode: PUTROOTFH (24)
Opcode: GETFH (10)
Opcode: LOOKUP (15)
Filename: local_data
Opcode: GETFH (10)
Opcode: GETATTR (9)
Opcode: LOOKUP (15)
Filename: thor
Opcode: GETFH (10)
Opcode: GETATTR (9)
Opcode: LOOKUP (15)
Filename: store
Opcode: GETFH (10)
Opcode: GETATTR (9)


Thus, apparently, solaris is trying to locate /local_data/thor/store,
which, as you see above, is available.

I get the following back from the server:

Network File System
[Program Version: 4]
[V4 Procedure: COMPOUND (1)]
Status: NFS4ERR_NOENT (2)
Tag: secinfo
Operations (count: 1)


NOENT, i.e. "no such file or directory". What's this, please?
"Tag: secinfo" does that mean anything to you?

Any hints?

Greetings,
Thomas
