    This document is the Operational Instruction on how to work with Auto FS file system on a Red Hat Linux Server.

    This article covers the adding and mounting of Auto FS file system in a Red Hat Linux servers.

  Prerequisites

 

   ·         Need to have root privileges to make necessary changes.
   ·         Take backup of /etc/exports before making any changes to this file.

  ·         On Master Server:


Ø  Edit /etc/exports, where an entry for the server and file system needs to be made in the following format:


            /abc/pqr/xyz                                           -rw,no_root                                         server1 server2
     (Dir that needs to be shared)            (Permissions)                         (Clients to which the
                                                                                                                       the filesystem needs to 
                                                                                                                        be mounted)

Ø  Run the command, on the master server.
                                      # expotfs –av



·      On Client Server:


Ø  Where we need to have the NFS share mounted, edit the /etc/auto.direct file and add an entry as below:
                 
                             /avinash                           servername:/abc/pqr/xyz
                           (Local Dir)                        (master server Name : Dir to be    
                                                                              shared)

 
Ø  Refresh the autofs service and we should not be able to see the /avinash dir

#service autofs reload.
