Explain the NFS server configuration files.

By
61.Explain the NFS server configuration files.
Ans.
1. The server configuration file is ‘/etc/exports’, which contains a list of file system to export, the clients permitted to mount them and several export options that apply to client mounts.

 2. Each line in ‘/etc/exports’ has following syntax:
Dir [Host] (option)[….]
Dir specifies one or more mount options
Host specifies one or more mount options.

 3. If user omits host, the listed options apply to every possible client system and if options are omitted then the default mount options will be applied.

 4. Consider the sample of ‘/etc/exports’ file as follows:
a) /usr/share *.mu.ac.in(ro)
It permitsall host on mu.ac.in to mount /usr/share as read only directory.
b) ./courses/tyit 192.168.166.0/24 (rw)
It uses the address/netmask form in which the net mask is specified in classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) format.
c) /home 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 (rw)
It permits any host with an IP address in the range 192.168.166.0 to 192.168.166.254 to mount /home in read-write mode.
d) /projects @dev (rw)
It permits any member of NIS net group named dev to mount /projects
e) /var/spool/mail 192.168.166.12 (rw)
It permits only the host whose IP address is 192.168.166.12 to mount /var/mail
f) /opt/kde gss/krbs (ro)
Any host using RPCSEC-GSS security to mount /opt/kde in read only mode.

How to configure Network file system version 4 (NFSv4) client?

By
69.How to configure Network file system version 4 (NFSv4) client? Ans. 1. There are two new options listed in NFSv4 are introduced as: clientaddr and ports 2. The version 3 of NFS introduced NFS over TCP, which improved NFS’s reliability. 3. In NFSv3, users use the mount option i.e., tcp as client whether client wants to use TCP or UDP to communicate with the server. NFSv4 replaces tcp or udp with a single option i.e. ports=tcp or udp 4. The default buffer size for NFSv4 is 8192 bytes, but it can grow to as large and by 32,678 bytes, which results performance improvements. 5. Following are the mount options: clientaddr=n – Declares client to be multihomed proto=type – Declares port as either udp or tcp resize=n – declares read size of clients buffer wsize=n – Declares write size of clients buffer sec=mod – Declares security model as either krb, krb5 etc.

Absolute Links vs. Relative Links – SEO Value The debate between  absolute links and relative links  continues to live on in the SEO world. The individual significance of each has been contested, but it is widely regarded that absolute links provide better SEO value on the whole than relative links. Many believe that absolute links have less potential for getting messed up when search engines index your page. It shouldn’t really make a difference, but many conclude that this is reason enough.
