nfs

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5

I’ve used the following to mount nfs shares:

mount -t nfs target:/temp/folder1 /opt/folder1
mount -o vers=3 win1:/archive /opt/archive

Works fine but I need to get them to mount automatically after a reboot. I’m told I need to make entries in /etc/auto.master and /etc/auto.misc but would like to know the syntax.

Thanks,
Dave

You want to put something like this in your /etc/fstab file - not auto.master or auto.misc:

target:/temp/folder1    /opt/folder1   nfs   defaults
win1:/archive           /opt/archive   nfs   vers=3

These should then be mounted automatically on reboot... this is assuming you want them mounted all the time. If you want them to timeout and "unmount" while not in use, then you will want to research using auto.master, etc.

You should define ur nfs mounting point in /etc/exportfs
