Yes. But I would advise using automount instead of NFS.
Really? How does one do that? :-) Whether or not you use automount, you won't get around using NFS.
Automount provides NFS mounts "on demand" rather than a one-time try at boot up
Earlier on this list reported an issue I was having with NFS where two systems were booting at the same time, and one wanted to mount an NFS volume from the other. Despite advertised option of background booting, I never got this to work. I later found that the reason was that the system serving the NFS reports access denied during the short time the network comes up and before NFS is ready. The guy mounting may be in the background. But when it sees this access problem, it gives up. I saw no way to gewt the serving system to report something less catastrophic when things were just starting, so, I came up with a different solution, which I do not really like. I think using automount sounds more reasonable. What is the absolute easiest way to set it up for an NFS mount on a secure private network? I seem to recall that automount was 'feature rich' in configuration. But perhaps I should re-investigate it as an option to my own NFS issues. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
