NFS Mounts

We have multiple LAN interfaces on our servers to isolate different types of traffic. One interface is used just for server to server communications.

When doing an NFS mount of a file system between servers, is it possible to direct which LAN interface it uses for it's traffic ?

Re: NFS Mounts

Hi,

I have often used multiple hostnames for this purpose: The 1st interface would just be the hostname, the 2nd interface would be configured as hostnameB in DNS/hosts.

Then, you could explicitly tell any command to approach the 'B-interface'.

( # mount myhostB:/home/wout ..... )

Hope that helps,
Cheers,
Wout

Re: NFS Mounts

Thanks, I wasn't thinking, used separate hostname for the interface I wanted to go over..
