A network file system is a computer file system that supports sharing of files, printers, etc over a computer network.<\/p>\n
Package : nfs-utils.rpm<\/p>\n
Configuration file : \/etc\/exports<\/p>\n
Daemon : nfs<\/p>\n
Procedure to share a folder via NFS. Here we are going to share \/abc<\/p>\n
mkdir \/abc
\ntouch \/abc\/file_1
\necho “\/abc *(ro)” >> \/etc\/exports
\nservice nfs restart<\/p>\n
Procedure to mount the ‘\/abc’ folder from ‘genuinewebhosting.net’ to a local folder ‘\/mnt\/temp’
\nClinet_host ] # mount genuinewebhosting.net:\/abc \/mnt\/temp<\/p>\n
If the above mount has to be permanent, we need to add the following entry in \/etc\/fstab in the client host.
\ngenuinewebhosting.net:\/abc \/mnt\/temp nfs defaults 0 0<\/p>\n
client _host ] # mount -a : This command reads the fstab and mounts points not already mounted.<\/p>\n
client _host ] # showmount -e genuinewebhosting.net
\n: This command lists all folders shared by genuinewebhosting.net
\nAutoFS<\/p>\n
Autofs controls the operation of the automount daemons, which automatically mount file systems when you access it, and un-mount them after when not used for a small period of time.<\/p>\n
Procedure to share a folder \/abc from genuinewebhosting.net using autofs<\/p>\n
mkdir \/new
\necho “\/new \/etc\/auto.misc” >> \/etc\/auto.master
\necho “xyz -fstype=nfs 10.146.179.113:\/abc” >> \/etc\/ auto.misc
\nservice autofs restart
