UC-7420/7410 User’s Manual Managing Communication

no_root_squash

If no_root_squash is selected, then the root on the client machine will have the same level of access to files on the system as the root on the server. This can have serious security implications, although it may be necessary if you want to do administrative work on the client machine that involves the exported directories. You should only specify this option when you have a good reason.

root_squash

Any file request made by the user root on the client machine is treated as if it is made by user nobody on the server. (Exactly which UID the request is mapped to depends on the UID of user “nobody” on the server, not the client.)

sync

Sync data to memory and flash disk.

async

The async option instructs the server to lie to the client, telling the client that all data has been written to the stable storage.

Example 1

/tmp *(rw,no_root_squash)

In this example, UC-7420/7410 shares the /tmp directory to everyone, gives everyone both read and write authority. The root user on the client machine will have the same level of access to files on the system as the root on the server.

Example 2

/home/public 192.168.0.0/24(rw) *(ro)

In this example, UC-7420/7410 shares the directory /home/public to a local network 192.168.0.0/24, with read and write authority. NFS clients can just read /home/public; they do not have write authority.

Example 3

/home/test 192.168.3.100(rw)

In this example, UC-7420/7410 shares the directory /home/test to an NFS Client 192.168.3.100, with both read and write authority.

NOTE After editing the NFS Server configuration file, remember to use the following command to restart and activate the NFS server.

/etc/init.d/nfs-user-server restart

Setting up UC-7420/7410 as an NFS Client

The following procedure is used to mount a remote NFS Server.
