Full Discussion: mounting /proc or /usr
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users mounting /proc or /usr Post 58936 by moxxx68 on Sunday 5th of December 2004 04:23:29 AM
Old 12-05-2004
speaking of servers I have acually just done precisely that, I downlowded samba and installed it i tried to configure it to specs.. and now I am trying to figure out exactly how to implement it.(i know that sounds funny but the reason I downloaded is so that I could cross the NFS platform). I was'nt aware of the firewall actually being on the system so i guess I will have to take a look at that.. (I am not a security freak, but still I worry!), as for mounting /usr ro correct me if I am wrong i would umount /dev/hdd /usr and the
mount -t autofs -o ro /dev/hdd /usr .
as for IP tables I would need a clue as to where to start
thanx moxxx68

NAME
mountdtab - Table of local file systems mounted by remote NFS clients SYNOPSIS
/etc/mountdtab DESCRIPTION
The mountdtab file resides in the /etc directory and contains a list of all remote hosts that have mounted local file systems using the NFS protocols. Whenever a client performs a remote mount, the server machine's mount daemon makes an entry in the server machine's mountdtab file. The umount command instructs the server's mount daemon to remove the entry. The umount -b command broadcasts to all servers and informs them that they should remove all entries from mountdtab created by the sender of the broadcast message. By placing an umount -b command in a system startup file, mountdtab tables on NFS servers can be purged of entries made by a crashed client, who, upon rebooting, did not remount the same file systems that it had before the system crashed. Tru64 UNIX systems automatically call umount -b at system startup The format for entries in the mountdtab file is as follows: hostname:directory Rather than rewrite the mountdtab file on each umount request, the mount daemon comments out unmounted entries by placing a number sign (#) in the first character position of the appropriate line. The mount daemon rewrites the entire file, without commented out entries, no more frequently than every 30 minutes. The frequency depends on the occurrence of umount requests. The mountdtab table is used only to preserve information between crashes and is read only by the mountd daemon when it starts up. The mountd daemon keeps an in-core table, which it uses to handle requests from programs like showmount and shutdown. RESTRICTIONS
Although the mountdtab table is close to the truth, it may contain erroneous information if NFS client machines fail to execute a umount -a command when they reboot. RELATED INFORMATION
