NFS

Hi I was wondering if anyone has set up NFS in ubuntu server edition for ESXi?

I have tried but it keeps on giving me access denied in vsphere client

Thanks

Yes, take a look at your NFS log on the Ubuntu box (/var/log/daemon.log). It will usually tell you exactly why you are getting denied.

Are you using nfs-kernel-server?

Can you post what your /etc/exports looks like?

Have a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1005948

Make sure you are using NFS v3.
