NFS client mount issues

Hello,

I have been trying to configure the Alfresco as NFS server.
I have done following configurations in file-servers.xml file-

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="NFS Server">
<serverEnable enabled="true"/>
<enablePortMapper/>
<MountServerPort>1678</MountServerPort>
<NFSServerPort>2049</NFSServerPort>
<rpcAuthenticator>
<userMappings>
<user name="admin" uid="0" gid="1"/>
</userMappings>
</rpcAuthenticator>
</config>


When we execute "showmount -e <IP address>" command from the client I am able to see the shared folders of Alfresco.
But when I try to mount to the shared folder using following command from the client I am getting I/O Error.
mount -F nfs -o rw <IPAddress>/<remotesharedfolder> <localfolder>

Error that I am facing -
nfs mount: mount: /export/home/alfresco215: I/O error

Some times I am facing following error -
NFS fsinfo failed for server 10.200.171.215: error 2 (RPC: Can't decode result)
nfs mount: mount: /export/home/alfresco215: I/O error


We are stuck with this issue since couple of days and we need to re-design the entire solution if this doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Raju

Hi,

Some time you give uid=0 is not always be same on gid=0 or 1
please checkout that on linux machine.

Thanks Ghanshyam.

I looked at the link but we tried almost all options but no luck. Are you able to configure the NFS? We are trying this on Solaris. Any workarounds to resolve this issue?
