How to use Automount services?

70.How to use Automount services?
Ans.
1. autofs is used for automatic mounting of NFS exports when the file system is first accessed.

2. autofs uses the automount daemon to mount and unmount.

3. autofs uses a set of map files to control automounting.

4. The master map file i.e. /etc/auto.master, associates mount points with the secondary map files.
The secondary map files in turn control the file system mounted under the corresponding mount points.
For example consider the following
/etc/auto.master autofs configuration file:
/media /etc/auto.home
/var /etc/auto.var -timeout 600
This file associates the secondary map file /etc/auto.home with the mount point /home and the map file /etc/auto.var with the /var mount point

5. Each entry in /etc/auto.master, refer to as master map files, and consist of at least two and possibly 3 fields:
1st field is the mount point.
2nd field identifies the full path to the secondary map file that controls the map point.
3rd field is optional, consist of options that control the behavior of the automount daemon.

6. The secondary map files defines the mount options that apply to the file system mounted under the corresponding directory.

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

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.
