NFS step 6

[mlennie]

Hello thank you for your work. I'm following the NFS instructions and first of all there was no profile file. I noticed you said if this is the case, I should upgrade but my boot2docker.iso is 1.5.0 . So I created the profile file and now ran echo mkdir /Users >> profile. It showed -sh: can't create profile: Permission denied. I even tried to run it with sudo. Any help would be appreciated thanks!

I just took a look at a boot2docker 1.5 vm that I create a few days ago. I have not setup anything in this vm yet - so it is clean. I created this vm using docker-machine. docker-machine uses the actual iso images from the boot2docker project. You can see the build version below when I ssh into the vm. Also check the permissioning. I had to sudo to modify the existing file. If you used boot2docker to create the vm then perhaps you should give docker-machine a try instead. It might be updating the vm after creation - but I doubt it.

$ docker-machine ssh
