59.How to plan NFS installation?
Ans.
1. User need to decide few things before start installing the Network file system and they are as follows:
• Decide the file system to export.
• Decide which users are permitted to mount the expected file system.
• Decide the schemes i.e. auto mounting or manual mounting that clients will use to access exported file system.
• Select naming convention and mounting scheme.
2. Better NFS exports include any file system that is shared among a huge number of users, such as home, workgroup projects directories, shared data directories such as ‘/usr/share’, ‘/var/mail/spool’.
3. Make use of ‘/home/username’ to mount home directories since most of home directories are accessed in similar way.
4. If exported file grow large, so far this subdivision is necessary, which becomes tedious for administration , that when clients mounts, it should be updated to reflect new set of exports.
5. Create logical volume set on NFS server, if it has large number of NFS mount for client.
6. Use RAID and logical volumes for flexibility, for large sites, distribute multiple NFS exports across multiple disks so that a single disk failure will have less effect.
7. User cannot export a file system that is itself already a NFS mount.
