Normally if you want your NFS to be seen by all users on i, you need to set uid and gid to 0. Maybe that has loosened in V7R1, but we had lots of issues with Windows Services for Unix.

Also make sure you don't have an IP restriction on the NFS export that limits who can see data.

subject: Re: NFS files are invisible ?

Scott,

I realized that it is only "invisible" from one V5R3 machine.
I tried from V7R1 machine without such a problem.
Just as you said.
But I really need it on the V5R3 machine.

Thanks,

Zvi

Hmmm... I can see all the files/directories when I mount my FreeBSD box
via NFS, all works exactly as expected.

Could this be an authority problem?

Authority in NFS works based on the numeric uid/gid values. So if uid
1000 is granted authority to the file on the Linux box and you mount it
from IBM i, then whomever is uid 1000 on IBM i will have authority to
it.

This can cause strange results if your numeric uid/gid values on IBM i
don't match the ones on the Linux box.

Hi,

I mounted linux NFS folder :
MOUNT TYPE(*NFS) MFS('1.1.1.214:/nfs/FW') MNTOVRDIR('/P')
Now I am trying to list files on /P from QSHELL , and got nothing
- no
files:
ls -l /P
$
But if I try to use specific file like:
ls -l /P/CD_S520/20_i/install/config.txt
-rw-rwxrwx 1 1000 1000 87 Sep 24 2012
/P/CD_S520/20_i/install/config.txt

then I can discover and work with the file.
How can I make the folders visible ?

Regards,

Zvi
