Cannot move files directly between two headless OMV servers.
by elsmandino from LinuxQuestions.org on (#505V1)
Hi there.
I have a really odd problem that I cannot get to the bottom of.
I have two headless servers running Openmediavault - one is sharing a folder called "Share1" (on server1) and the other "Share2" (on server2).
Both folders are shared on the network by both NFS and SMB.
Until recently, I was using a Linux Mint desktop PC (via SMB) to transfer files between the two folders.
However, I realised that this was a slow way of doing things for two reasons (I think - let me know if this is wrong):
1. SMB is slower than NFS and
2. Files are going from the each server, to the desktop PC, and back out again (rather than directly)
Here is what I tried:
On server1, via SSH:
Code:sudo mkdir /mnt/Share2
sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.40:/Server /mnt/Share2I can access the files on /mnt/Share2 but the folder seems to be read-only - i.e. if I try to create a directory of file, it keeps telling me that access is denied.
I then tried mounting the other way round - i.e. mounting Share1 on server2 but I get exactly the same error.
I cannot work out how to move files between the two folders now.
Is it, perhaps, that I am only temporarily mounting the folders as temporary NFS shares?
