/sbin/rpc.statd /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd -r

Once the above servers are started, you can mount a remote NFS file system.

mount rhost:nfs_file_system local_mount_point

If the remote NFS file system you’re mounting is on an OA switch, you should mount with caching disabled.

mount rhost:nfs_file_system –o noac local_mount_point

All the necessary servers are included in /etc/init.d/rcS but are commented out by default. To automatically start all NFS client services each time you boot, uncomment the NFS Client servers. Go to the /etc/init.d/rcS file. Uncomment the following command lines by

removing the # sign.

/sbin/portmap

/sbin/rpc.statd /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd -r

You can also include commands to mount remote NFS file systems at boot time. There is an example line included at the appropriate location in /etc/init.d/rcS. Uncomment and alter the mount command included for your particular configuration.

NOTE: A “sleep” of 5 seconds is included to allow time for the links to come up prior to attempting the mount.

sleep 5

mount 10.0.0.1:/nfs –t nfs –o noac /mnt

NFS Server Configuration

The switch also contains an NFS server so that you can mount the switch file system from other systems. To enable the NFS server, first follow the steps to enable the NFS client. Then, edit

/etc/exports to include the file systems you wish to export. Consult a standard Linux Network Administrator’s Guide (or man pages) regarding options for exported file systems. Generally, an

entry in /etc/exports looks like the following:

/nfs *.localdomain.com(ro)
