cannot mount disk from a Sol8 system via nfs
Hi All
I have Sol10 up and running. I noticed that it was not very easy to mount a linux disk with nfs. I found out that I had to add-o vers=3. Now I would like to mount a disk from a Sol8 system
So far I only managed to get:mount sol8sys:/storage /mnt/sol8sys
nfs mount: sol8sys:/storage: Permission denied
This gives me the impression something is not configured well on the Sol8 system.
Well here is some info about that $ exportfs
-/storagerw=serv1:serv2:sol10sys,ro=serv3"Storage Array"
sol10sys represents the system I'm trying to mount on.......
Any suggestions why I cannot mount this disk ? or give me some hints on how to proceed solving this problem!
Thanks a lot

Perhaps the address of your Solaris 10 server does not reverse resolve to exactly one of those names. Remember, picking one possible name for an address is not sufficient. The name must match exactly the reverse resolution.
Perhaps the name resolves to 'sol10sys.company.com' or similar.
When logging in from sol10sys to the solaris 8 machine, where does it say you are logged in from?

The reverse resolution has to match exactly. Most machines are in DNS, so the reverse resolution will be a name, not an IP address. Therefore they won't match.
Also, how were you specifing the IP address? You can't just throw an IP address in an access list. From the share_nfs man page we can see that an access list contains:
hostname, netgroup, domain name suffix, or network. 'IP address' isn't a valid member.
