The Shore Value-Added Server is, among
other things, an NFS daemon and a Mount daemon [SGK+85].
If you configure and run
the server as it is distributed,
the NFS and Mount services will be available.
If you want to use them, you have to mount the
Shore file system as an NFS file system on one or
more of your workstations.
Take the following steps on each workstation
from which you want to access to the Shore file system using NFS.
- 1.
- Become super-user by typing "su."
Most versions of Unix do not allow anybody but the super-user to issue
the mount command.
- 2.
- Identify or create a Unix mount point, which is
an empty Unix directory on your workstation.
- 3.
- The installed $SHORE/bin directory must be in your (super-user's) path.
- 4.
- Run the script mnt, which
takes 2 arguments: the name of a host, and the
pathname for the mount point you have chosen.
It calls the program smount (also in the installed bin directory)
with a string of arguments, the last two of which are constructed
from the host name and the mount point.
You can
use the script mnt as it is, or you
can edit it if you want to use different arguments
to smount.
You can also just use smount directly.
See the manual page
smount(SHORE) for assistance.
- 5.
- Check the mount.
You don't have to be super-user to do this.
Type
mount
or
smount
and see if your mount point shows up in the mount table.
The mount program that comes with Linux already has the features
that Shore needs and therefore there is no need for the
smount program.
In the above instructions, replace
smount with mount and mnt with mnt.linux.
See your Linux mount manual page for more information.
