Chris,

To allow world read-write access, try
exportfs with 'exportfs -i -o anon=0 /vol/volname'?

Subject: Root permissions failing.

I have one Solaris host using a NetApp for home directories.

I want to transition the content over to a newer NetApp, and take the
other system out of commision.

However, when I tried to rsync the files, it complained about
permissions
errors. I tried a manual chown, which failed, and I discovered that
chmod
fails as well.

So, it would look like the Solaris client does not have root permissions
on the NetApp. But, the export configs on both NetApps are
identical, and I did specify root access in the exports file (and tried
a
couple of variations using "exportfs -i", including specifying the whole

class C the Solaris host was in).

Hostname resolution is going through the local files table, and then
DNS. The new NetApp and the Solaris client both have host table entries
for the IP of the other host.

The new NetApp is a 720, running 5.3.6r1.

Any ideas?
