Sun Studio 12 Installation Reference Guide

Installation Fails on an NFS-Mounted Filesystem

If the installation fails on an NFS-mounted filesystem, ensure that you have write permission on that filesystem. You can check for write permission by following these instructions. See "Choosing Local Display or Remote Display of the Installer" in the Sun Studio 12 Quick Installation guide for more information about installing on an NFS-mounted filesystem.

ProcedureChecking for Write Permission

  1. Check for write permission by typing:


    touch /net/remote-system/opt/testfile

    If you receive an error message, then you do not have write permission. For example:


    touch /net/harker/opt/testfile
touch: /net/harker/opt/testfile cannot create

  2. Choose another installation directory on which you have write permission, or contact your system administrator to change the filesystem permissions.
