Goal to get a NFS mount where the ESX can mount a NFS export/share but do it in a secure manner. I will limit it down to the two ESX servers and the unix filesystem perms are limited to only rw for those two ESX "users" and RO for local unix users
Linux Host:
10.0.0.1
/etc/exportfs
/bigfndrive/ *(no_root_squash)
Perms: (in /biffndrive folder)
drwxr_xr_x root vmwarenfs .
drwxr_xr_x . root vmwarenfs isoimages
ESX Server (in gui via VCMS)
New VMFS Volume -> "server" 10.0.0.1 "folder " /bigfndrive
The volume adds and connects, but the VMWare server only has RO permisions (which implies it is falling back to an everyone connection).
What user context does the NFS service connect as?
Can I change this?
What is the UID? (so I can match it on the Linux box so I can match Unix Perms to reflect the ESX server connection)
thanks,
