Like I said – “I’m sure it is a filesystem issue on the server”.

What I mean is that none of the articles seem to specify what “sensible” permissions are. You can fix this by running “chmod -R 777” on the NFS share but that’s universally known to be bad practice.

In reply to C.

Maybe the file permissions on the directory you are trying to access can cross-check to ensure that the NFS user has permissions to access/read/write in that directory.

On CentOS 8 none of the steps above or in the comments seem to fix NFS permissions. I’ve tried root_squash, no_root_squash, all_squash, and made sure export is rw for my entire network. I still get access denied no matter what I do.

I’m sure it is a filesystem issue on the server but this article does not cover anything related to that. It seems to be the one thing missing from all articles like this.
