how do i use automount with nfs

[ruang]

Hi people:

I need some assistants here: I'm wanne auto mount some filesystems, and dont know where to start please help!!

What I wanna do is: automount

SERVER G1: has nfs running, I want to automount /BLUE on server G1 to server G2 to mount point /BLUE1 were do I start and with file should I edit. Must I first just mount it normally e.g mount G1:/BLUE /BLUE1 or is there some other tricks.

I really looked for howto's and I cant understand it to good. Please help me with an easy example.

I thank you in advanced :confused: :mad:

Lets see if I understand the question. You want to map the directory Blue1 which resides on you G1 server to your G2 machine. If I got that right, you have to edit your fstab on your G2 machine and add a line something like this:

G1:/Blue1 /Blue1 nfs rsize=8192,wsze=8192

Look at the nfs man pages for more options.

Hope this helps.
