Mounting NFS on a Linux Client
Describes how to mount a NFS server on a Linux client.
About this task
You can manually mount NFS on a Linux client when your system starts up.
NOTE
On nodes running CentOS, use the VIP for mounting because, by default, the mount
command will use the physical IP of the node.Procedure
-
List the NFS shares exported on the server.
For example, run the following command for NFS version 4 servers:
maprcli nfs4mgmt list-exports
If the NFS protocol is not version 4 only, use the
showmount
command to retrieve the list of exported NFS shares. For example:showmount -e usa-node01
-
Mount the cluster using NFS.
For example:
mount -t nfs4 -o sec=krb5 usa-node01:/<psuedo_mapr> /mapr
Results
TIP
For the best performance, use NFS v4.0. Use the
vers=4.0
parameter in the mount command. For example:
mount -t nfs4 -o sec=krb5,vers=4.0 usa-node01:/<psuedo_mapr> /mapr
NOTE
When you mount manually from the command line, the mount point does not
persist after a reboot.
