Mounting a directory from a remote host is pretty simple. All you have to
know is the host's name (remote-host
), the directory exported by the
remote host (remote-dir
) and the directory from which you want to
access those files (local-dir
, must be absolute!).
All you have to do then is:
# mount <remote-host>:<remote-dir> <local-dir>
To make the same mount permanent, put the following line into
`/etc/fstab' (See mount
(8) for a description of all those options:
rw, ...
):
<remote-host>:<remote-dir> <local-dir> nfs rw 0 0
Here's an example I use on DUSK: How to mount
`/usr/aftp/pub/os/NetBSD/NetBSD-Amiga' from ftp.uni-regensburg.de
(which is only an alias for the rrzs3) on DUSKs
`/usr/ftp/pub/NetBSD-Amiga'. This can be done by issuing
mount ftp.uni-regensburg.de:/usr/aftp/pub/os/NetBSD/NetBSD-Amiga
/usr/ftp/pub/NetBSD-Amiga
or putting the following line into
`/etc/fstab':
rrzs3:/usr/aftp/pub/os/NetBSD/NetBSD-Amiga /usr/ftp/pub/NetBSD-Amiga nfs rw 0 0
(This line is split only to fit on the page. Put this all in one line!)
