Link new directory to directory/jfs on remote server 1

[dickiebird]

Hi
Where can I read info on setting up permanent links to another server.
I have a large filesystem on one machine and I'd like this
to be available to another (smaller) server.
Both servers are IBM RS6000.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
TIA

Hi Dickie Bird,
you have to do two things,
1. export filesystem from source server.
For example its hostname is snode and filesystem is /large_fs and hostname of (smaller) server is dnode.
On the snode add line to the file /etc/exports
/large_fs -rw=dnode
and run
# exportfs /large_fs
2. mount exported from snode filesystem.
Assume you would like to see this filesystem with name /snode_large_fs.
# mkdir /snode_large_fs
# mount snode:/large_fs /snode_large_fs
And no more. I assume than NFS is started
