Issue

  • NFS client trying to write but failed and getting permission denied error:

[root@host mount]# mkdir test
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘test’: Permission denied

  • NFS server does not provide required permission.
  • NFS path has 777 access which means any user should be able to read/write:

::> vserver file-directory show -vserver vs1 -path /volume1
