pfs_mount

[Carter Jay]

Hello,

How can I share a DVD Drive on a Hp box included in a NIS Domain, and access it from an "outNIS" server?
I've already mounted the DVD on the NIS server with:
#nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
#nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
#pfs_mount /cdrom
The /etc/pfs_fstab on the sharing server is:

/dev/dsk/c0t1d0 /cdrom pfs-rrip xlat=unix 0 0

Should i have the same /etc/pfs_fstab on my standalone server?
Must I :
Share -F [pfs,nfs] -o -[r]=(client) /cdrom
On the sharing server?

Thanks for your help

Regards

Jerome

Hi, Jerome!

I would strongly recommend to forget all about that pfs mount stuff.

Instead, one may install the patches for the new CDFS supporting Rockridge Extensions. Then a normal export via NFS should be easy.

Dietmar.

Hi,

like we all do for one or two months now: use the HP-UX "mount(1M)" with the option "-o rr" (RockRidge) after installing these three patches (PHKL_26448/PHCO_26249/PHKL_26250) and forget PFS!

Just my $0.02,
Wodisch

Hi Jerome


You may like to try this

A. Perform these steps on the local system:

1. nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &

2. nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &

3. Add the filesystem to /etc/pfs_fstab

4. Add the filesystem to /etc/pfs_exports

5. pfs_exportfs -a

6. pfs_mount /cdrom

B. Perform these steps on the remote system:

1. nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &

2. nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &

3. pfs_mount -o xlat=unix remotesystemA:/cdrom /localmnt_pnt
