[Mageia-dev] Setting NFS shars and making the process more user friendly
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. Marc

I wanted to mark some words in another Color to highlight them such as files or something like that but didn't find the keywords for that, if someone knows them I'll change that.

Marc 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. Marc
