Network file Sharing (NFS)in linux

has any done this?

well my problem is dependent ang client workstation sa server. whenever ma down ang server ma wala pud ang naka mount nga files. murag mirroring siya


is it possible nga ma permanent ang naka mount nga files client workstation. and ma edit and delete pud nimu ang naka mount nga files.

[javapenguin]

place the mount points in etc/fstab

[1nsane]

mao raman gihapon bai

ma wala man ang files kung ma wala pud ang server.

Try kuno check if your nfs server ni-dagan ba?

Try use ps or telnet.

[1nsane]

asa man akong e check

ang client o ang server?

i think nag dagan man ang nfs server. makita man naku ang naka mount nga files

problem lang kung ma down ang server. ma wala pud ang naka mount nga file

dili pud naku ma delete ug edit ang naka mount nga files. ma copy ra naku

[eax]

asa man akong e check

ang client o ang server?

Probably both.

Try sab kuno check imong client kung wala ba na-block ang nfs port?

To check use netstat or telnet.

dili pud naku ma delete ug edit ang naka mount nga files. ma copy ra naku

I think wala kay permission to write sa mga mounted files.

Sa ako mo balik ra man connection bisan ma restart ang server, mo auto mount ra man siya, gamit nako pag configure kay Yast kay Suse Linux akong gi gamit. Peru wala nako gi configure as read and write ang nfs server, check lang file permission ug enable rw sa nfs server ug mao ni imo gusto. Sulayi lang ang suggestion ni eax.

I no longer use NFS because it locks up the system, especially on FreeBSD, if your server goes down. It's also not secure and the permissions are messed up when they are mounted on your system.

I find that sshfs-fuse is a better alternative. As I work on a heterogeneous environment, this works on all operating systems as long as SSH is present (haven't tried this with Windows though).

indeed.


thats one of my problems now. if server goes down the client hangs up. then i have to reboot the client. tsk tsk
can't seem to find the solution on the web.

Why not use SAMBA.
Windows client compatible and mountable in linux as a filesystem using smbfs.
