Let me second what Dave Jones said: try the CMS NFS client. If you're
using CMS to manage Linux guests, it's a really handy tool. For
example, consider that Linux is running NFS to share a directory
called "/export/stuff". You could:
openvm mount /../VMBFS:VMSYS:ROOT/ /
openvm run /bin/mkdir -m 555 -p /import/stuff
openvm mount /../NFS:linuxhostname/export/stuff /import/stuff
openvm getbfs /import/stuff/the.file the file a (olddate
Look into the TRANS|NOTRANS option for both 'mount' and 'getbfs'.
Look into the LIST|NOLIST and other options for 'mount'.
And of course the REPLACE option for 'getbfs', if needed.
VM TCP/IP client tools disk required.
The CMS NFS client requires that you have a (non-NFS) byte filesystem
mounted as the root. (You do not need the rest of the shell and
utilities functioning for this example, except for the 'mkdir'
command. You do NOT need to launch a shell.) The nature of POSIX
mounts is that there be an empty directory already at the point where
you want to mount. (Thus the 'mkdir' command.)
