Configure NFS Client

This example is based on the environment below. +----------------------+          |          +----------------------+ | [    NFS Server    ] |10.0.0.30 | 10.0.0.31| [    NFS Client    ] | | localhost.manish.world     +----------+----------+ www.manish.world    | |                      |                     |                      | +----------------------+                     +----------------------+

Configure NFS Client.

[root@www ~]#  yum -y install nfs-utils [root@www ~]#  vi /etc/idmapd.conf # line 5: uncomment and change to your domain name Domain =  srv.world [root@www ~]#  systemctl start rpcbind  [root@www ~]#  systemctl enable rpcbind  [root@www ~]#  mount -t nfs dlp.srv.world:/home /home  [root@www ~]#  df -hT  Filesystem              Type      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/centos-root xfs        46G  1.4G   45G   4% / devtmpfs                devtmpfs  1.9G     0  1.9G   0% /dev tmpfs                   tmpfs     1.9G     0  1.9G   0% /dev/shm tmpfs                   tmpfs     1.9G  8.3M  1.9G   1% /run tmpfs                   tmpfs     1.9G     0  1.9G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/vda1               xfs       497M  219M  278M  45% /boot dlp.srv.world:/home  nfs4       46G  1.4G   45G   4% /home # /home from NFS server is mounted

Configure NFS mounting on fstab to  mount it when the system boots.

[root@www ~]#  vi /etc/fstab /dev/mapper/centos-root /                       xfs     defaults        1 1 UUID=a18716b4-cd67-4aec-af91-51be7bce2a0b /boot xfs     defaults        1 2 /dev/mapper/centos-swap swap                    swap    defaults        0 0 # add like follows to the end dlp.srv.world:/home  /home                   nfs     defaults        0 0

Configure auto-mounting.  For example, set NFS directory on /mntdir.

[root@www ~]#  yum -y install autofs [root@www ~]#  vi /etc/auto.master # add follows to the end /-    /etc/auto.mount [root@www ~]#  vi /etc/auto.mount # create new : [mount point] [option] [location] /mntdir -fstype=nfs,rw  dlp.srv.world:/home [root@www ~]#  mkdir /mntdir  [root@www ~]#  systemctl start autofs  [root@www ~]#  systemctl enable autofs  # move to the mount point to make sure it normally mounted [root@www ~]#  cd /mntdir  [root@www mntdir]#  ll  total 0 drwx------ 2 cent cent 59 Jul  9  2014 cent [root@www mntdir]#  cat /proc/mounts | grep mntdir  /etc/auto.mount /mntdir autofs rw,relatime,fd=18,pgrp=2093,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct 0 0 dlp.srv.world:/home /mntdir nfs4 rw,relatime,vers=4.0,rsize=524288,wsize=524288,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp, port=0,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=10.0.0.31,local_lock=none,addr=10.0.0.30 0 0
