allows all systems with 192.168.1.* IP addresses read-write access to the /shared/ directory:
Q: – 192.168.1.51:/data is exported by NFS Server and i want to add this NFS share to client /etc/fstab file. How you will add this entry in /etc/fstab file?
# device mount-point fs-type options dump fsckorder
192.168.1.51:/data /mnt nfs rw 0 0
Q: – What will happened if a space is given in between allowed_hosts and (options)
If a space is included, the options are applied to any and all IP addresses, which can be quite dangerous if write permission is granted.
The portmapper keeps a list of what services are running on what ports. This list is used by a connecting machine to see what ports it wants to talk to access certain services.
# device mount-point fs-type options dump fsckorder
192.168.1.51:/data /mnt nfs rw 0 0
Q: – What is the role of "sync" option for NFS server
If sync is specified, the server waits until the request is written to disk before responding to the client. The sync option is recommended because it follows the NFS protocol.
It will show statistics for NFS version 3 server.
No, Window XP operating system doesn’t support nfs protocol.
