NFS and nobody.nogroup
Support knowledgebase (kukuk_nfs)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Versions since 6.0
Symptom:
You mount an NFS directory on a SuSE Linux server. You notice that
all of the files belong to nobody.nogroup or that all newly
created files are owned by nobody.nogroup.
Reason:
This is a Bug in Userland rpc.nfsd. The Kernel NFSD should not
be affected by this. For a currently unknown reason, the rpc.nfsd
"forgets" its default settings.
Solution:
Use the no_all_squash option for the exported directory in the /etc/exports
configuration file, as shown below:
/src prometheus(rw,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)
/src *.suse.de(rw,root_squash,no_all_squash)
