NFS

I followed this site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo I set everything up as recommended. But I was unable to change the permissions. I was using sudo rsync -azv So, after a bit of googling I changed /etc/exports /export 192.168.1.0/24(rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,async) /export/backup 192.168.1.0/24(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async) /export 192.168.1.0/24(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash) /export/backup 192.168.1.0/24(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash) The key was no_root_squash Then I could read and write as root.
