Mount NFS4 share as different user

  • 772

I have an AWS EFS NFS4 share (shareA) that is mounted by some servers where all files are owned by userA/uid=800. I'd like to mount that share onto the b-series servers, configured to look like userB/uid=900 owns all of the files. How can I do this?

  1. The way NFS operates is that is wants UIDs/GIDs synchronized across all participants. Newer versions support mappings (with idmapd) of local deviations, but that's pretty much it.

    Aside from working with ACLs, I fear that you are out of luck.
