Hi! Could any user (not the root) mount a export with the command mount ? I use the insecure option on the export-options but doesn work. Thank you -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
nfs question
Hello list, I've set up a nfs server, and I was having a problem when booting the system. I was getting the following message: rpc.nfsd: nfssvc: Address already in use Well, I found out the problem. My server is a nfs server but also a nfs client (through netfs). Redhat setup application made boot service order like that: 1) nfslock 2) netfs 3) nfs Starting nfslock and after netfs makes nfs 2049 port unavailable. So I forced netfs to be started after netfs and the problem was solved. Does anyone knows why that happens? Is my solution the best one? Why redhat setup application does not put the correct boot order in this case? Thanks, Joao. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

RE: NFS Question
I'm jumping into the middle of this thread, so please forgive if I'm ignorant of what you've alread discussed, but this "soft" option seems to be the answer to a problem I periodically have. How do you specify "soft" in the /etc/fstab? For example, I'm currently mounting NFS drives via my fstab with: GW2000:/usr /mnt/GW2000/usr nfs GW2000:/home/mnt/GW2000/homenfs GW2000:/mnt /mnt/GW2000/mnt nfs How would I change this to include "soft"?

NFS Question
I sometimes manually mount NFS volumes on my internal lan. This works fine until the system containing the NFS volumes is rebooted or turned off. Once this happens I can't find a way to umount those volumes except rebooting the client machine. What is the correct way to get my client machine to release those volumes?

RE: NFS Question
> Is your client mounting the NFS exports with the "soft" option? > > -Steve In my /etc/exports file I just have the rw option. After that I manually mount the nfs volume by doing: mount -t nfs host:/home/gerry /mnt/nfs This successfully mounts host:/home/gerry on the mount point /mnt/nfs. The problem I'm getting is if I forget and reboot "host" then I can't umount this volume. Generally I end up having to reboot to get this to release. It sure doesn't unmount just by umount /mnt/nfs There's got to be a more gracefull way of unmounting an nfs volume if the server disappears.

Try using the "soft" option on the client when you mount the filesystem. mount -o soft host:/home/gerry /mnt/fns Read "man mount" for other options. -Steve > -Original Message- > From: Gerry Doris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 12:07 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: NFS Question > > > > Is your client mounting the NFS exports with the "soft" option? > > > > -Steve > > In my /etc/exports file I just have the rw option.

Ah, so you aren't sharing FROM Windows XP, but from Linux. That makes a difference. You're going to need to use smbpasswd to configure your SMB passwords file; recent versions of Windows use encrypted passwords unless deliberately broken by hacking the registry.

No quarrel with the above, but I'd suggest that it's more justifiable if you are restricting the export to a net block which you control, or to a single address. If you're only connecting from a single static IP address, and you have faith that you alone control that address, you might be ok with this.

I've done it--once, 9 years ago, for 10 minutes. (FTP wasn't working, and I needed to move a file to a server I was maintaining in Bulgaria.) It's not a good idea, as anyone able to connect to the network in between can listen to your traffic (see your files) as the traffic goes across the wire. Even if you protect your server so that only certain clients can send NFS requests to it, a man-in-the-middle attack could change your IO requests... Investigate scp (man ssh, man sshd) and winscp (winscp.org) for moving your files around instead.

I have the exports file setup correctly. /home (rw,no_root_squash) # Home mounted from server The problem I am having is that I had this setup working and the machines would mount /home automatically. I then shutdown the whole setup and I get an error stating that I have an 'mount : RPC: Time Out'. Does anyone have any clues as to how to fix this? I am running an Intel box with RH6.2 and ALL available updates. Now mind you, I can mount this /home directory via NFS on the same machine. I can't do it from the 6 other slave nodes.

Try it as a test: put anything in /etc/exports /mnt/cdrom for example (assuming you first mounted a cd on /mnt/cdrom) Then run /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start you will see several messages saying that it is starting up nfs services (Starting NFS services, Starting NFS quotas, Starting NFS mountd, Starting NFS daemon) Look at ps (ps aux | grep nfs) and you will see several nfsd's running). Then /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs status will also tell you that nfs is running. Then /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs stop and it will tell you Shutting donw NFS mountd Shutting down NFS daemon ... and ps will show that nfs stopped. Thus, if /etc/exports is non-existant or empty, nfs will not successfully start up.

PCNFS/NFS Question
Hi, We have a RH 4.2 box setup at work to be used as a NFS server for a couple of PC's running DOS and PCNFS (very old version of PCTCP). Each morning the systems are rebooted (DOS systems) and they load up PCTCP and mount a directory on our Linux box, download some files, then reboot without PCTCP. As far as I can tell there is no log made of this action anywhere on the Linux box. I know that I could modify the autoexec.bat to write a file to the Linux system when this happens but I'm trying to avoid this if possible. What I would like is to be able to see if this action really took place or not and at what time/date it happened. Is there anyway to find out if this action actually happened or a log file that I might be missing of what actually happened on the Linux box? Looking though all the NFS documentation I could locate I don't see anywhere that a log file is created or logged to, on a simple mounting of a Linux drive and copying of files. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I don't think that there is a free version of NFS for Windows (could be wrong). With Samba you can set up your linux box to act as a NT server or just another workstation, but it does understand Windows Shares. If you are looking for info on Samba, http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba appears to be a good source. -- Keith Schoenefeld -- ~ ~ Keith Schoenefeld Systems Manager ~ ~ The University of Tulsa[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ ~ Keplinger Hall Room #L1-A (918) 631-2548 ~ ~ 600 S.

NFS Question
Ok thanks ahead of time for reading this email. I would like to have a question about Linux NFS explain to me. It's in my understanding that if we(my company) have Linux with NFS and Samba installed, we can from say from a Win95/NT box install software to the Linux hard drive and then access that application via the Win95/NT machine. So say for example if I'm installing Office 97 and in the setup wizard I could choose the Linux box as the hard drive I would like the software installed to. And then after installation I can double click on my Office 97 Word application and it will load up? If anyone could direct me to some books it would be great.
