nfs permissions

I think the nfs volume is exported with 700 as the permissions and root:root as owner. I cannot change it at the system level, and that needs to be done by IT on the volume/filer itself. Can you please ask them to change permissions to 755 so you can cd to it.

this is issue - What should be change from filer end in the export-policy ?

Superuser Security Types: sys -> this option should be changed to ?

If you have superuser mount permission (to the svm and the volume), you can mount netapp-svm:/

Then you will see your directory and can likely change the rwx bits there.

volume security style is ntfs - how does that work ?

So you cannot set any Unix permission then.
in order to modify security you need to modify the acl or have the security style of the volume changed to Unix
