NFS issue with OSX (not lion) and NV+
Hi, I'm having some difficulties setting up nfs acces to my NV+. I can start NFS and set a number of threads (what is this? value set to one..) but it doesn't show in Finder. AFP and CIFS share w...
That's interesting - I've had chance to take a look and I take back some of my previous comments. My apologies for the incorrect information
In the past I've never had success mounting NFS shares via finder but that did not surprise me due to the different way in which NFS works vs AFP & CIFS and that manual and automounting has always worked as expected and what I actually wanted. I therefore have always presumed mounting NFS shares via Finder is just not a supported option.
While NFS servers are still not automatically detected by Finder as CIFS and AFP servers are, it does now seem possible to mount nfs shares via cmd+k - wonder if that is a recent enhancement/fix in OSX? (I'm running 10.6.8) Or maybe I just screwed up when originally looking at this a looong time ago
So in finder: CMD+K -> nfs://server/share, results in "server" being listed under Shared items and the nfs share appearing as a mounted volume for that server. The share, by default, gets mounted at /Volumes/share, /Volumes being the default finder mount point for all protocols
So back to your issue, the above discovery suggests you are hitting a permissions issues so what permissions are set for the share? Go to the Advanced Options tab for the share setup and check for the following
My guess is that your setup in Frontview has
Share Folder Owner: <same name as share>
Share Folder Group: nogroup
Share Folder Everyone Rights: none <- Have you changed this?
The above settings would result in the same symptoms as you're seeing.
