[ubuntu] NFSv4 Problems

view story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I have simple little home file server, currently running fedora 10 and long in need of being upgraded. So i built a new server using ubuntu 12.04 and it was fine until i tried to get nfs working. uids and usernames dont match in my home so with fed 10 the way things worked was if i were on my desktop as "testuser" (uid 1000) and fed10 has a "testuser" (uid 500). If i wrote a file to nfs the server would store it as uid 1000, client would see uid 1000 and so everything worked ok (even if the server had no notion of who uid 1000 was) - this still works with 12.04 clients t (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] NFSv4 Problems

I tried to set up NFSv4 with idmapd between two Debian/lenny installations. On the client, the user "xyz" has the UID 501 and on the server "1000". Changing UIDs and setting up NIS is not possible, Kerberos unwanted.

NFSv4 idmapd.conf 13 weeks 5 days ago

Whacking my head on the keyboard over this one, hopefully someone can give some insight. Been googleling all over but no solutions work. Here goes:

I have a home network so kereberos and ldap would be overkill. I have the same username on the client and server but of course different uids. Both machines are Fedora 18 running nfsv4.

I am accessing a samba share on an Buffalo Terastation from 10.04. Mounting the share from the desktop (gvfs) and using smbclient works fine, all characters are displayed correctly. However, when I do a permanent mount all 8-bit characters show up as "?" and I get "invalid encoding" errors from the desktop file manager.

NFSv4 - ACLs not working 1 year 11 weeks ago

I've setup an NFSv4 server (Debian) and client (Ubuntu/Mythbuntu). It seems that uid username mapping is working nicely out-of-the-box (I get correct usernames on ls -l if the usernames match between the two boxes, even if the uids don't), but ACLs are not working.

Hi all,

I am trying to set up a print and file server for my home network using Ubuntu Server. The file server part of the task seems to working well. I can see the shared directories from my Macbook and my wife's Windows Laptop. I am stuck on the printer setup, though.

I have an HP Photosmart printer connected to the Ubuntu Server machine via USB cable.

I've just converted a server from Fedora 14 to Ubuntu 12.04. "Converted" of course means a clean install.

I'm now trying to get all of the services back up and running and have some working pretty quickly, but I'm stymied on getting automount to mount work with a local directory.

I Installed 12.04 in July, worked with the office printer perfectly. tried to print today and it wont.

in the printer settings dialog it says:

Quote:

printing service not available.
