Hi, I am trying to mount a nfs file system from a remote server. I am using a non-root user account to do that, but the user is part of root group. I have the following line added to /etc/fstab file remoteserver:/abc /abc nfs user 1 still, when I try
mount remoteserver:/abc /abc
I get following error mount: only root can do that How to get rid of this? thanks

If it's already in fstab, use "mount /abc" Regards, -Kastus

Or change your uid to 0 - gotta be a root user, not just a member of the root group, in order to specify a filesystem and mount point. --Danny, not actually recommending changing UID to 0, since that's evil
