NFS Client

Using NFS on the NURDspace infrastructure

Perform the following steps to get deterministic NFS behaviour on machines on the NURDspace network:

• Install /usr/local/bin/manual-mount-nfs.sh with the following content:

#!/bin/bash

grep nfs /etc/fstab | grep noauto | while read FSTAB; do
    LMOUNT="$(echo "${FSTAB}" | awk '{ print $2 }')"
    grep -q "${LMOUNT}" /etc/mtab
    if [[ ${?} -eq 0 ]]; then
	echo "[W] ${LMOUNT} already mounted, skipping..."
	continue
    fi
    SHARE="$(echo "${FSTAB}" | awk '{ print $1 }')"
    SERVER="$(echo "${SHARE}" | awk -F\: '{print $1}')"
    RMOUNT="$(echo "${SHARE}" | awk -F\: '{print $2}')"
    LMOUNT="$(echo "${FSTAB}" | awk '{ print $2 }')"
    echo -n "[+] Waiting for ${SERVER}: "
    while [[ -z "$(showmount -e "${SERVER}" | grep "^${RMOUNT}")" ]]; do
	echo -n '.'
	sleep 1
    done
    echo 'reachable'
    mount "${LMOUNT}"
done

• Make this script executable
• Add this script to /etc/rc.local
• Add your mountpount to /etc/fstab, with the 'noauto' flag
• Reboot
