share [g+] share [fb]

I want to try mounting a folder with NFS - I set up the NFS sharing on a windows 2008 R2 server, specified hosts in the NFS permissions (by IP address) and mounted via /etc/fstab

it mounts, but when I try to list the folder, I get 'input/output error'

the owner/group on the local mount point look weird too?

drwx------ 2 4294967294 4294967294 4096 2011-02-10 19:15 data/

I mounted in /etc/fstab as:

10.0.6.55:/share$ /media/data nfs soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192

What am I doing wrong?

UID/GID mapping can be messed up, but you could try and chown the mount to yourself

tried mounting with a specific gid/uid, didnt work. any other ideas? – pablo Feb 14 '11 at 20:10

The issue was on the Windows Server side and it could not map the unix account to AD.

This blog post+comments led me to the solution.
