[gentoo-dev] Group limit for NFS exported file systems

[gentoo-dev] Group limit for NFS exported file systems

[Robert Szentmihalyi]

Hi,

is there a group limit for NFS exported file systems in recent kernels?
One if my users cannot access directories that belong to a group he actually _is_ a member of. That, however, is true only when accessing them over NFS. On the local file system, everything is fine. UIDs and GIDs are the same on client and server, so that cannot be the problem. Client and server run Gentoo Linux with kernel 2.6.16-gentoo-r9 on the server and 2.6.17-gentoo-r4 on the client.
Any ideas?

TIA,

You'll have a better chance of getting an answer to your question on the
gentoo-users mailing list, the #gentoo IRC channel on freenode, or an
NFS-specific mailing list/IRC channel.

Cheers
