RE: Issue mounting an NFS drive from the System i

Erick,
I always set the Anonymous UID and GID to 0, check the Allow anonymous access and add the ANONYMOUS LOGON user as a user with full access on the server. Not sure if that's the best way to do it but it works for me.

Hi Jack,

I issued services.msc from the command line, and in the extended
services tab ensured that 'Service for NFS' was running and was
configured to start automatically. After making some changes, I have
refreshed the serivces but didn't end and restored the services.

Thanks,
Erick

Eric, just asking, you do have NFS services started on host side, correct.
You probably do but needed to ask.

Jack,

Thanks for your suggestion. I issued another mount command with the
updated options. Unfortunately, that did not remedy the problem.

maybe try something like this:

OPTIONS('rw,nosuid,retry=5,rsize=8096,wsize+
=8096,timeo=20,retrans=5,acregmin=30,acregm+
ax=60,acdirmin=30,acdirmax=60,soft') +

I am attempting to mount an external drive from my PC to a directory
on the IFS. Once this is complete, I would like to use the CPY command
to transfer files from
the IFS to the mounted drive. In preparation for this I have loaded
Unix Services for Windows on my Windows XP system. Additionally, I
have ensured that the service 'Service for NFS' is up and running.

Next, from Windows Explorer, I created a share and disabled the read
only attribute.  Additionally, on the NFS sharing tab, I allowed for
anonymous access and in the NFS Share Permissions window, I set the
type of access to 'Read-Write' and marked the check box 'Allow root
access'.

MOUNT TYPE(*NFS) MFS('192.168.89.2:/otirv-backups')
MNTOVRDIR('/home/mymount')

File system mounted.

CPY OBJ('/home/egarske/msgq.txt') TODIR('/home/mymount')

Not authorized to object.  Object is /home/mymount/msgq.txt.

 Cause . . . . . :   You do not have the correct authority for object
  /home/mymount/msgq.txt or for one of the directories in the object

path.

After seeing this message and searching on the CPF code, CPFA09C, I
dismounted the drive
and issued the command below to relax the authority:

chmod a=rwx otirv-backups

But after remounting the drive and attempting to copy, I received the
same error message.

Is there a configuration step that I am missing that would enable the
authority to be relaxed enough to allow a file to be copied to the
share?

Thanks.
