Yeah, I know it should go in the General PC forum, but anyway:
Does anyone know why, when I have explicitly included ro in the /etc/fstab options, SuSE Linux 10.1 should still be mounting an NFS file system as rwxrwxrwx?
Sample /etc/fstab entry:
VB Code:
Try mounting the drive manually using mount from the console.
I think it would be something like... (at your own risk)
mount -t nfs -o ro bsp27:/u2 /bsp27_u2
See if that gives you the same result.
Yep, that does exactly the same thing. I also loathe you for the fact that your advice made me type "man mount"!
"man touch" is also most amusing.
What is the native filesystem on the drive that you are mounting? Its not NTFS by any chance is it?
Nah, it's HTFS (SCO specific file system) but it mounts with the correct options on an older redhat box which is why it puzzles me.
Maybe the -n option may be of use (with the mount command). Other than that, this is out of my depth mate.
Nah, -n relates to when the fstab file is on an ro file system. Thanks for trying tho - a bit ouf of my depth too, which sucks given that I'm the sysadmin :p Linux file systems I'm fine with but SCO is a strange scary world with lots of badly documented stuff....
Ignore the permissions of the mount directory. Try writing to a file beneath the mount point and it should fail.Quote:

Man, I was having the same problem just a little while ago. :P
Is this just Need For Speed? or the New NFS Most wanted?
NFS:Carbon is coming soon!! woot!
