mount: failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

[propro]

Hi ,

I have a filesystem on AIX 4.3.3 which i need to share with other clients who use Windows NT and Redhat linux 7.3.

I use samba to share this with Windows NT Clients.

Now i was to share this with Linux clients.

When i try to nfs mount this on Linux i get

"mount: failed, reason given by server: Permission denied"

I have gone thru and tried out solutions given in many documents found on the Internet but it did not help.

I am however able to mount this filesystem on a differnet AIX machine.



I am able to share this file system on Linux with

mount -t smbfs -o username=<>,passwd=<>

But the problem is that ,once i reboot this machine, this mount point is not visible, and only root can mount this filesystem.



I guess there must be a lot of people here who have been working on UNIX for some time now..



Any help will be appreciated..



Thanks in advance..

More Information:

1. you try mounting another directory in the remote system which is not shared, you will get a "Permission denied error" as shown below
2. I'm getting permission denied on my new RHES4 Server, when mounting to my nfs server
3. umount command attempts to contact the server, and then all outstanding requests to the server will be failed, thus making the processes killable
4. If, instead of mounting the file system, mount produces a error message like mount: eris:/mn/eris/local failed, reason given by server: Permission denied then the exports file
5. mount: tower:/mnt/unRAID/Movies failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

You can only mount a Samba share on linux systems. The linux kernel can have smbfs either compiled in, or as a loadable module.



This cannot be done on AIX - you can use samba, but you just can't mount a directory to a drive.

More Information:

1. When I try as root to cd to the mounted directory, I receive a "permission denied"
2. When I try to mount the nfs share I got a permission denied error: $ sudo mount -t nfs localhost:/wuala /media/disk/wuala/direct mount
3. nfs: mount to NFS server 'rpcbind' failed: RPC Error: Program not registered mount
4. nfs: localhost:/wuala failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
5. i failed to mount one harddrive taken from Red Hat to centos 5 server, the thing is that this drive is one of 2 drives in Raid 1
6. For various reasons this prevented the ability to mount NFS Version 4 servers at the same time as NFS Version 2 and 3 servers were mounted
7. 2: Problems Mounting Filesystems on a Client Q: Why do I get "permission denied" or "access denied" when I try to mount a remote filesystem? A1: Your remote NFS server is not exporting or sharing
8. Sometimes my client gets a "permission denied" error when attempting to mount a file system, even though it managed it a few hours earlier with no change
9. mount failed, reason given by server: Permission denied so that's the combo that worked for me
