[Klug-general] NFS + GIDs

[jwm- art.net]

Hello,

Hoping someone can help... I've setup NFS to run under Arch Linux, and a
client running Debian.

>From the client machine, the UIDs + GIDs of files look like so:

-rw-r--r-- 1 4294967294 4294967294  0 Nov  4 14:05 pop
-rw-r--r-- 1 4294967294 4294967294 12 Nov  4 13:11 test

I want at least for the GID to have some sensible value and decided to
create a new group on both machines with the same GID of 10000. So in the
/etc/exports I have this:

/srv/nfs/shared
Laptop(rw,all_squash,sync,no_subtree_check,anongid=10000)

setup as per: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nfs#Server

And in the client's /etc/fstab:

Desktop:/srv/nfs/shared       /desktop/shared       nfs     rw,bg,hard,intr
0 0

I didn't want to set anonuid in the server /etc/exports as I want to give
two user accounts on the client rw access to a shared folder, and ro access
to another folder.

Thanks for any help,
James.
