NFS (Network File System) is a protocol that allows a computer to access files over a network as if they were stored on its local hard drive. It was developed by Sun Microsystems in the 1980s and has become a popular file sharing protocol for Linux operating systems.
On RHEL-based distro
yum install nfs-utils -y
To mount NFS drive, use
mount -t nfs 10.160.0.5:/shared-data /var/www/html
In the above command 10.160.0.5:/shared-data is the NFS drive, replace it with your NFS drive.
Back to mount
When i try mount a HDD, i get error
root@super ~ # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt mount: /mnt: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member'. root@super ~ #
This is because the disk is part of RAID.
Lets check the disks avaialbe with parted -l
parted shows /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 as raid with same size. So its assemble raid array with command
mdadm --assemble --run /dev/md3 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
I used /dev/md3 as other device names (/dev/md0, /dev/md1 and /dev/md2) are already in use.
Now you can mount this drive with command
mount /dev/md3 /mnt
Remount a file system in rw mode
mount -o remount,rw /
On Ubuntu, install cifs-utils
apt-get install cifs-utils
First create a directory on which we can mount the windows share
mkdir /media/SHARE_NAME
Now create a file to store windows share username and password.
vi /etc/SHARE_NAME.smbcredentials
Add following to the file
username=YOUR_WINDOWS_SHARE_USER password=YOUR_WINDOWS_SHARE_PASSWORD
Now run
mount -t cifs //192.168.0.4/SHARE_NAME /media/SHARE_NAME -o credentials=/etc/SHARE_NAME.smbcredentials,uid=LINUX_USER_NAME,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm,rw,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0666
192.168.0.4 – Replace with IP of your Windows computer with share.
LINUX_USER_NAME – Replace with the Linux user name you want the files to be owned.
To make share mounted on boot, edit
vi /etc/fstab
Add
//192.168.0.4/SHARE_NAME /media/SHARE_NAME cifs credentials=/etc/SHARE_NAME.smbcredentials,uid=LINUX_USER_NAME,gid=GID_OF_LINUX_USER,_netdev,iocharset=utf8,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0666 0 0
