I was just recently reminded of this on a Mdv list. Is there a way to
make the setting of NFS shares easier for users. Way back in Mandriva
2008 the NFS process was very well done and users would only have to
establish NFS shares with other computers and the etc/fstab was properly
written.
Since Mdv 2009 the process seems to have been broken and I have had to
go into the fstab and change manually the pathway to from "computername"
to "ip pathway".
I had posted the fix on the MDV forums and put in a bug for this. I am
not sure if my bug was not well written and maybe that is why it was
never really taken up by the dev team.
You can find the post here:
http://forum.mandriva.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=87&t=113793 and you will
find the process to establish NFS shares at the very bottom of the post.
NOTE that the shortcut to the bugzilla no longer works.
I still use this process with MDV2010.2 and set my fstab by hand. I have
4 networked MDV boxes in the house and they all use NFS shares.
It would be nice if this were fixed with Mageia as it would be quite an
advantage from a user's point of view as this would make the setting of
shares fullproof. Setting up of NFS shares could then be advertised as a
positive point from a marketing point of view.
Note the the setting of NFS shares comes up constantly on helplists and
most of these involve the fstab.

while we're on the subject, imo, user accessible NFS shares could be used with
the notification area; like it was a USB disk, then people can mount/unmount it
easier; or perhaps less problems if network is suddenly disabled and we have
mounted NFS hosts.
This would certainly be quite handy as many households have more than 1
computer and they could then manage share easier.
