NFS shared volume fine but permission denied when access

penangmis — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 23:44:36 GMT

We are running on 8.2.3P4 7-Mode FAS2554.

We tried to shared a volume /vol/BKP_engnfs as below in /etc/exportfs :

/vol/BKP_engnfs -sec=sys,rw,root=<ipaddress>

We are able to mount from the linux client without issue.

mount filer:/vol/BKP_engnfs /engnfs2

However when we cd /engnfs2, we get permission denied.

Any idea what is missing?

We have this shared in our old 7.2.3 7-Mode FAS2020, without issue.

Hi,

The first thing i'd check is the security style of the volume. EG

controller1> vfiler run vfiler1 qtree status

Check that the volume and any qtrees within the volume have the security type of "unix".

By default they will inherit the security style of the vfiler.

If they are set to ntfs then change the volume and qtree security style to unix. EG

controller1> vfiler run vfiler1 qtree security /vol/vol1 unix
controller1> vfiler run vfiler1 qtree security /vol/vol1/qtree1 unix

Hope that helps

Consider close.

It's weird wafl.default_security_style is already set to unix

However the volume get set to nfts.

Have to check the qtree permission setting correctly. Change it to unix or ntfs accordingly.

qtree

qtree security /vol/[vol_name] unix

qtree security /vol/[vol_name] ntfs

hope this help
