Introduction
This tool
You can start this tool from the command line, by typing diskdrake --nfs as root.
allows you to declare some
shared directories to be accessible to all users on the machine. The
protocol used for this is NFS which is available on most Linux or Unix
systems. The shared directory will be thus available directly at
boot. Shared directories can be also accessible directly in a single session
for a user with tools such as file browsers.
Procedure
Select search servers to obtain a list of servers
which share directories.
Click on the > symbol before the server name to display the list of the
shared directories and select the directory you want to access.
The button Mount point will be available and you have
to specify where to mount the directory.
After choosing the mount point, You can mount it. You can also verify and
change some options with the Options button. After
mounting the directory, you can unmount it with the same button.
On accepting the configuration with the Done button, a message will
displayed, asking "Do you want to save the /etc/fstab modifications". This
will make the directory available at each boot, if the network is
accessible. The new directory is then available in your file browser, for
example in dolphin.
