VFSTAB edit

xeroxguy · #1 (**permalink**) 09-27-2005

Hello all... I have a Ultra 60 that that is used for connecting a large Xerox printer to the network. This computer takes PDF's and converts them to tiffs and sends them back to a pc

. In order to transfer data back and forth a mount is manually performed on the UNIX box. The mount of course is lost every time a boot or system reset is performed. My question is "how would I enter into the VFSTAB the following mount"

mount 10.1.1.10:/c/DigiPath/Decomp /var/spool/decomp

So the UNIX box would perform the mount every time the machine is booted...

Thanks in advance.

It should look something like this:

10.1.1.10:/c/DigiPath/Decomp /var/spool/decomp nfs rw,soft,intr 0 0

Before you reboot, test it by typing `mount /var/spool/decomp` and make sure you don't get any errors(this is assuming that you don't already have it mounted). This should all be in the man page for mount, btw.
