What a Linux hodge-podge…<\/p>\n

Command Line approach<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/a>19.2.\u00a0NFS Client Configuration<\/h2>\n

NFS shares are mounted on the client side using the mount<\/span><\/code> command. The format of the command is as follows:<\/p>\n

mount -t <nfs-type><\/code><\/em> -o <options><\/code><\/em><host><\/code><\/em>:<\/remote\/export><\/code><\/em><\/local\/directory><\/code><\/em><\/code>\r\n<\/pre>\n
Replace <nfs-type><\/span><\/code><\/em> with either nfs<\/span><\/code> for NFSv2 or NFSv3 servers, or nfs4<\/span><\/code> for NFSv4 servers. Replace <options><\/span><\/code><\/em> with a comma separated list of options for the NFS file system (refer to Section\u00a019.4, \u201cCommon NFS Mount Options\u201d<\/span><\/u><\/a> for details). Replace <host><\/span><\/code><\/em> with the remote host, <\/remote\/export><\/span><\/code><\/em> with the remote directory being mounted, and <\/local\/directory><\/span><\/code><\/em> with the local directory where the remote file system is to be mounted.<\/p>\n
Refer to the mount<\/span><\/code> man page for more details.<\/p>\n
If accessing an NFS share by manually issuing the mount<\/span><\/code> command, the file system must be remounted manually after the system is rebooted. Red Hat Enterprise Linux offers two methods for mounting remote file systems automatically at boot time: the \/etc\/fstab<\/span><\/code> file or the autofs<\/span><\/code> service.<\/p>\n
\/etc\/fstab Approach<\/span><\/h2>\n
<\/a>19.2.1.\u00a0Mounting NFS File Systems using \/etc\/fstab<\/code><\/p>\n
<\/a> <\/a> An alternate way to mount an NFS share from another machine is to add a line to the \/etc\/fstab<\/code> file. The line must state the hostname of the NFS server, the directory on the server being exported, and the directory on the local machine where the NFS share is to be mounted. You must be root to modify the \/etc\/fstab<\/code> file.<\/p>\n
The general syntax for the line in \/etc\/fstab<\/code> is as follows:<\/p>\n
server:\/usr\/local\/pub \/pub nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr<\/code>\r\n<\/pre>\n
The mount point \/pub<\/code> must exist on the client machine before this command can be executed. After adding this line to \/etc\/fstab<\/code> on the client system, type the command mount \/pub<\/code> at a shell prompt, and the mount point \/pub<\/code> is mounted from the server.<\/p>\n
The \/etc\/fstab<\/code> file is referenced by the netfs<\/code> service at boot time, so lines referencing NFS shares have the same effect as manually typing the mount<\/code> command during the boot process.<\/p>\n
A sample \/etc\/fstab<\/code> line to mount an NFS export looks like the following example:<\/p>\n
<server><\/code><\/em>:<\/remote\/export><\/code><\/em><\/local\/directory><\/code><\/em><nfs-type><\/code><\/em><options><\/code><\/em> 0 0<\/code>\r\n<\/pre>\n
Replace <server><\/code><\/em><\/code> with the hostname, IP address, or fully qualified domain name of the server exporting the file system.<\/p>\n
Replace <\/remote\/export><\/code><\/em><\/code> with the path to the exported directory.<\/p>\n
Replace <\/local\/directory><\/code><\/em><\/code> with the local file system on which the exported directory is mounted. This mount point must exist before \/etc\/fstab<\/code> is read or the mount fails.<\/p>\n
Replace <nfs-type><\/code><\/em><\/code> with either nfs<\/code> for NFSv2 or NFSv3 servers, or nfs4<\/code> for NFSv4 servers.<\/p>\n
