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.
