I have xfs filesystems on a software raid 5 mounted over NFS, they are set up
by the NFS client tool in YaST and effectively end up in /etc/fstab therefore.
No idea how else to do it :)
The entries copied from fstab are:
192.168.1.10:/home/username /home/quentinj/NFS/username nfs
defaults 0 0
192.168.1.10:/mnt/data1/Video /home/quentinj/NFS/Video nfs
defaults 0 0
192.168.1.10:/mnt/data1/Audio /home/quentinj/NFS/Audio nfs
defaults 0 0
192.168.1.10:/mnt/data1/MyPics /home/quentinj/NFS/MyPics nfs
defaults 0 0
Hadn't heard of the bg option before, should that be added so that YaST adds it
automatically here or does it cause other side effects?
I have never knowingly used UDP or TCP specifically for NFS and I don't have
the 10.3 any more sorry, though I would install it if I wasn't so scared I'd
get burnt by the beta 1 grub problem that I was lucky to get around! :) What
I do know is that there were quite a few new problems with NFS in OpenSuSE
11.0 and to date I still turn off NFS 4 options as I cannot get a connection
with them, so I still find the NFS stuff suspicious. I also notice interesting
behaviour with the network manager in that nowadays it maintains 2 simultaneous
connections rather than switching between the two and I don't think it updates
the correct route to send traffic through. Wireless doesn't even work for me
since beta 1 so I can't test it any longer anyway.
I just tried replicating the unplugging of the NIC card and the PC didn't
crash, it used to on 11.0 (a seperate machine I've got) so I guess that's been
fixed via network update.
Looking forward no one is going to set up a vpn to get NFS working sorry. The
suggestion higher up to have network manager unmount and remount sounds more
doable though. Hey, windows can do it, Linux should be able to do it much
easier! ;)
