Hi Michael,
Thanks for the reply and useful guides.
It took me quite a while to realize that I also need to mount the
network drive on the clients
(http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/NFS-HOWTO/client.html). I finally got things
to work. :)
It seems that I need to edit the file /etc/fstab on the clients if I
want the NFS file systems to
be mounted at boot time. Can you please help me check if the following
is the correct procedure
to do so? Thanks a lot.
1. Edit "/var/lib/systemimager/images/oscarimage/etc/fstab" to include
the network drives
2. Run "cexec updateclient -server tele -image oscarimage" to update the
file on the clients
I am a bit worried about this procedure because I notice that originally
there is no
file fstab in the server's image directory
(/var/lib/systemimager/images/oscarimage/etc/).
However, I can find this file in the client nodes. I am curious how the
clients got this file
setup in the first place. If I edit this file on the server's image now,
would it be in conflict
with the copy on the clients?
Thanks in advance for any hint.
Sincerely,
Shiang-Tai

You should only have to edit the /etc/exports file and not the others
because oscar sets up those types of things. If you look at how oscar
set up these files it should give you a good clue as to how to export
your server's /temp1 directory.
It would probably not be a good idea to set up the clients to share
their directories back to the server in the same way. You can have
multiple NFS servers, but it is generally to increase the bandwith and
not to talk back and forth like that. You might want to look into
more truly parallel file systems than NFS, it is more for one point to
many sharing and not for many points to many point sharing.

Hi,
I have a cluster setup with OSCAR 4. The default setting allows all the
clients to access /home on the server locally (I guess /home is mounted
as a network drive on each client node). Can anyone teach me what to do
if I wish share other folders on the sever (e.g.. /temp1 on the server)?
Also, is it possible to share the disk of the clients to the server
and/or other clients as well?
Thanks for any hint.
