% An E-Z Guide to Remote UNIX Disk Mounting %
Remote disk mounting on UNIX systems requires root access on the base
system. The procedure is as follows:
1. Create a temporary directory (/tmp/lame in this example).
2. Query target with "showmount -e host.addr.addr".
This will illuminate you as to which (if any) filesystems may be
mounted from your machine. It will reply with:
hostname:/directory/directory -options
where options are the mounting options (rw, ro), who may access
(host1:host2:...) and other sundry niceities.
showmount -e hostname uses mountd on the remote to read the remote's
/etc/exports.
If your machine is listed in the access field, or if access reads
"everyone," you may mount that filesystem.
3. Pick a filesystem you would like to mount. Remember that you can
mount the subdierctories of the mountable directories.
4. Mount the filesystem.
mount hostname:/filesystem/remote /tmp/lame
5. Do whatever you want with the filesystem.
6. Unmount the filesystem.
umount /tmp/lame OR #umount hostname:/filesystem/remote
REMEMBER:
- You must leave the directory you are unmounting.
- ALL mounts (failed or successful) are noted in /etc/rmtab on
the remote system. /etc/rmtab remains until purged.
- You must specify full pathnames when mounting and unmounting.
MORE:
- An entry of "/filesystem/directory " with no options in
a host's /etc/exports will allow world-mounting of that system.
- Remote mounting often uses RPC and NFS. It will work most
often on Suns and workstations networked with Suns (ie: using NFS).
