Share drives and directories using NFS

draknfs

Prerequisites

When the wizard^[38] is launched for the first time, it may display the following + message:

The package nfs-utils needs to be installed. Do you want to + install it?

After completing the installation, a window with an empty list is + displayed.

Main window

A list of directories which are shared is displayed. At this step, + the list is empty. The Add button gives access to a + configuration tool.

Modify entry

The configuration tool is labeled "Modify entry". It may be also + launched with the Modify button. The following + parameters are available.

NFS Directory

Here you can specify which directory is to be shared. The + Directory button gives access to a browser to + choose it.

Host access

Here you can specify the hosts that are authorized to access the + shared directory.

NFS clients may be specified in a number of ways:

single host: a host either by an abbreviated + name recognized be the resolver, fully qualified domain name, or an IP + address

netgroups: NIS netgroups may be given as + @group.

wildcards: machine names may contain the + wildcard characters * and ?. For instance: *.cs.foo.edu matches all + hosts in the domain cs.foo.edu.

IP networks: you can also export directories + to all hosts on an IP (sub-)network simultaneously. For example, either + `/255.255.252.0' or `/22' appended to the network base address.

User ID Mapping

map root user as anonymous: maps requests + from uid/gid 0 to the anonymous uid/gid (root_squash). The root user + from the client cannot read or write to the files on the server which + are created by root on the server itself.

allow real remote root access: turn off root + squashing. This option is mainly useful for diskless clients + (no_root_squash).

map all users to anonymous user: maps all + uids and gids to the anonymous user (all_squash). Useful for + NFS-exported public FTP directories, news spool directories, etc. The + opposite option is no user UID mapping (no_all_squash), which is the + default setting.

anonuid and anongid: explicitly set the uid + and gid of the anonymous account.

Advanced options

Secured Connection: this option requires that + requests originate on an internet port less than IPPORT_RESERVED (1024). + This option is on by default.

Read-Only share: allow either only read or + both read and write requests on this NFS volume. The default is to + disallow any request which changes the filesystem. This can also be made + explicit by using this option.

Synchronous access: prevents the NFS server + from violating the NFS protocol and to reply to requests before any + changes made by these requests have been committed to stable storage + (e.g. disc drive).

Subtree checking: enable subtree checking + which can help improve security in some cases, but can decrease + reliability. See exports(5) man page for more details.

Menu entries

So far the list has at least one entry.

File|Write conf

Save the current configuration.

NFS Server|Restart

The server is stopped and restarted with the current configuration + files.

NFS Server|Reload

The configuration displayed is reloaded from the current + configuration files.

^[38]You can start this tool from the command line, by typing + draknfs as root.
