[NFS] Problem in Mounting NFS

[Linda]

Ted,

Don't know if this will help you but here are my cheat notes for the NFS 
set up I use

typing man exports at a terminal prompt will give you all off the 
information on options for exports

Setting up NFS


Add files you want to share to /etc/exports

/usr/local/lib/letters 192.168.1.2 (rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

Then run the command

exportfs -ra

On the client

mount 192.168.1.1:/usr/local/ib/letters /usr/local/lib/letters

(Mount point must exsist!


To allow users to mount nfs try a line like something like this in 
/etc/fstab :

hostname:/home/foo /mount-point/nfs-foo nfs noauto,users,rw,hard,intr 0 0

Substitute IP numbers of course, if needed.

Good luck
Linda
