Moving to confirmed, created an NFS share named test_share with export path of 192.168.0.118:/bef1720c-b108-4a2f-baf7-f5b7d3d7cc61, it is possible to mount the share with read-write level access but not with read-only level access. With default of no rules we are denied mount access for the share on our Linux vm irco1sd9vm25: stack@irco1sd9vm01:~/simon$ manila list +--------------------------------------+----------------+------+-------------+-----------+-----------+-----------------+---------------------------------+-------------------+ | ID | Name | Size | Share Proto | Status | Is Public | Share Type Name | Host | Availability Zone | +--------------------------------------+----------------+------+-------------+-----------+-----------+-----------------+---------------------------------+-------------------+ | b223511f-6c04-40bc-bbb6-c2d723f9c385 | test_share | 1 | NFS | available | False | default | irco1sd9vm01@VMAX#os-manila-sg1 | nova | | +--------------------------------------+----------------+------+-------------+-----------+-----------+---- -------------+---------------------------------+-------------------+ stack@irco1sd9vm01:~/simon$ manila access-list test_share +----+-------------+-----------+--------------+-------+------------+------------+------------+ | id | access_type | access_to | access_level | state | access_key | created_at | updated_at | +----+-------------+-----------+--------------+-------+------------+------------+------------+ +----+-------------+-----------+--------------+-------+------------+------------+------------+ stack@irco1sd9vm25:~$ mkdir mnt stack@irco1sd9vm25:~$ sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.0.118:/bef1720c-b108-4a2f-baf7-f5b7d3d7cc61 mnt/ mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.0.118:/bef1720c-b108-4a2f-baf7-f5b7d3d7cc61 Add a read-write rule with IP 0.0.0.0/0 to the share and we are then allowed to mount the share: stack@irco1sd9vm01:~/simon$ manila access-allow test_share ip 0.0.0.0/0 --access-level rw +--------------+--------------------------------------+ | Property | Value | +--------------+--------------------------------------+ | access_key | None | | share_id | b223511f-6c04-40bc-bbb6-c2d723f9c385 | | created_at | 2019-09-27T14:42:15.000000 | | updated_at | None | | access_type | ip | | access_to | 0.0.0.0/0 | | access_level | rw | | state | queued_to_apply | | id | b352be58-e13e-4e0e-9305-88ce83c84177 | | metadata | {} | +--------------+--------------------------------------+ stack@irco1sd9vm25:~$ sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.0.118:/bef1720c-b108-4a2f-baf7-f5b7d3d7cc61 mnt/ stack@irco1sd9vm25:~$ mount | grep mnt 192.168.0.118:/bef1720c-b108-4a2f-baf7-f5b7d3d7cc61 on /opt/stack/mnt type nfs (rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=262144,wsize=262144,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=192.168.0.118,mountvers=3,mountport=1234,mountproto=udp,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.0.118) stack@irco1sd9vm25:~$ cd mnt/ stack@irco1sd9vm25:~/mnt$ ls lost+found Remove the read-write access-level and add read-only instead and try to mount again: stack@irco1sd9vm01:~/simon$ manila access-allow test_share ip 0.0.0.0/0 --access-level ro +--------------+--------------------------------------+ | Property | Value | +--------------+--------------------------------------+ | access_key | None | | share_id | b223511f-6c04-40bc-bbb6-c2d723f9c385 | | created_at | 2019-09-27T14:49:53.000000 | | updated_at | None | | access_type | ip | | access_to | 0.0.0.0/0 | | access_level | ro | | state | queued_to_apply | | id | 2385be0b-abc1-4966-b158-8da8d7504382 | | metadata | {} | +--------------+--------------------------------------+ stack@irco1sd9vm25:~$ sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.0.118:/bef1720c-b108-4a2f-baf7-f5b7d3d7cc61 mnt/ mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.0.118:/bef1720c-b108-4a2f-baf7-f5b7d3d7cc61
