export NFS to only 1 user on a machine

[David_246]

Hi,

Is there a possebility to export an FS to two servers to one userid only?

We only want the oracle user to be able to mount the NFS FS in on a cluster, so NFS server1 would export an FS that can be mounted on one of the both clusternodes?

The /etc/exports on NFS server1 would look like :

/oradblogs -access=clustern1:clustern2, anon=


Does anyone have an idea if this is the correct way?

David, can't you just use normal unix permissions to stop users using the nfs mount?

Hi,

First of all a normal user will not be able to use the mount command (autofs is an exception). Instead give the access to both the cluster nodes and change the directory ownership of the exporeted directory to oracle:dba and set the permissions as 770 so that no one else will be able to access the data.

Hi David,

If you setup sudo for the oracle user, you could ecport the filesystem with a specific user id.

Kind regards,

And a small reminder that you probably already know, If you go the permissions route, the users ID (oracle) need to match between the systems.
