NFS FAQ

  • When changing the mount command options, NFS file system needs to be unmounted first, for example: 
    umount /home/exports
df

    Mount the file system again with the required options: 
     
mount -o rw,intr,hard  unisys02:/home/exports /home/exports

  • The automount is installed and configured on NFS client 
    apt-get install autofs

    Configure Master map, file /etc/auto.master: 
    /mnt   /etc/auto.exports  --timeout=60
    Make sure directory /mnt already exists.

    Configure the indirect map, file /etc/auto.exports: 
    exports  -rw,hard,intr  unisys16:/home/exports

    Restart or reload autofs: 
    /etc/init.d/autofs restart

    Access the file system and check if it gets mounted: 
    cd /mnt/exports
df
