[attachment=16756]

Network File Service

Daemons: netfs, nfs, nfslock (also uses portmap and rpc service)

NFS Client Configuration

Configuration File : /etc/fstab
server1:/data /users/data nfs defaults 0 0

mount server1:/data /users/data
(Note: The mount point must exist before /etc/fstab is read or the
filesystem is manually mounted)


NFS Troubleshooting


Use exportfs command to find and verify which areas are exported by the server

Use mount command to find and verify which areas are mounted by the client
