How can I mount NFS directory on Unity?

  • 772

An NFS directory is shared by a SPARC server.

Utilizing a Samba application, it is not a problem to link a folder shared by an MS-Windows server.

But, it is hard to link a directory shared by an NFS server on Unity.

What should I do to link?

  1. Not really. First you need to install the package nfs-common:

    apt-get install nfs-common

    If the nfs server is already set, you need to add this line on the /etc/exports to allow your client to access:

    /File_to_share_on_the_server/ 192.168.1.x(rw,all_squash,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000,sync)

    Replace 192.168.1.x by your client's IP.

    I guess this step can be done by the GUI on your Sparc server.

    On your client, just need to mount your share now:

    Temporary:

    mount -t nfs -o rw 192.168.x.x:/File_to_share_on_the_server /mnt/yourfolder

    Permanent: Add a line in your /etc/fstab :

    192.168.x.x:/File_to_share_on_the_server      /mnt/yourfolders    nfs     defaults  0 2

    This time 192.168.x.x must to be replace by the IP of your server. You can find lots of tutorial on the web to install & configure nfs...
