NFS Shares Mac


Recommended Posts

I set my user share 'media' to read + write for everyone. *(rw,insecure)

 

In MAC OSX,  under disk utility:

remote nfs url: nfs://tower/mnt/user/media

mount location: /volumes/network/media

I press save, it verifies and says its fine.

under finder, i found /volumes/network but when I click media I get "you don't have permission to view its contents".

 

What have I done wrong?

 

I did exactly the same on my dad's macbook and it loaded perfectly but for mine, I keep having permissions rejected.

Shouldn't the remote NFS path be "nfs://tower/media/" ? At least for Samba and AFP shares, including the flash drive and cache drive with Samba, are accessed by {protocol}://{server name}/{share}

 

I don't use NFS so I don't know if that works differently for some reason.

In my personal case it was because the files were created by root:root and not nobody:users in addition to that they also had very restrictive file permissions. I ran two commands, 'chown' then 'chmod' and all was fixed.

 

Also i am now using AFP instead to restrict access with different users.
