Issue

  • Why do NFS clients access files with read-only permissions when exported from an NFS share with "all_squash" and "no_root_squash" options?
  • When exporting an NFS share with "all_squash" and "no_root_squash" from an NFS server and files are created with root in the shared directory, if a client mounts the NFS share and accesses a file with the root user, the file can only be accessed with read-only permissions.
