NFS : Configure NFS Client2023/12/26

Configure NFS Client to mount NFS Share on NFS Client.
This example is based on the environment like follows.

+----------------------+          |          +----------------------+
| [    NFS Server    ] |10.0.0.30 | 10.0.0.51| [    NFS Client    ] |
|     dlp.srv.world    +----------+----------+    node01.srv.world  |
|                      |                     |                      |
+----------------------+                     +----------------------+

[1]

Configure NFS Client.

root@node01:~ #

vi /etc/rc.conf

# add to last line
nfsuserd_enable="YES"
# specify your domain name that is the same one on NFS server
nfsuserd_flags="-domain srv.world"

# mount NFS share with NFSv4
# for NFSv4 mounting,
# specify the relative path for the NFS shared directory from the NFSv4 root directory you specified on the server side

root@node01:~ #

mount -t nfs -o nfsv4 dlp.srv.world:/nfsshare /mnt

root@node01:~ #

df -hT /mnt

Filesystem               Type    Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
dlp.srv.world:/nfsshare  nfs      26G    184K     26G     0%    /mnt

root@node01:~ #

umount /mnt

# mount NFS share with NFSv3
# for NFSv3 mounting,
# it's not the relative path, specify the full path

root@node01:~ #

mount -t nfs -o nfsv3 dlp.srv.world:/home/nfsshare /mnt

root@node01:~ #

df -hT /mnt

Filesystem                    Type    Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
dlp.srv.world:/home/nfsshare  nfs      26G    168K     26G     0%    /mnt

[2]	To mount automatically when System starts, add setting in [/etc/fstab].

root@node01:~ #

vi /etc/fstab

# add to last line : set NFSv4 share

# Device                Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump    Pass#
/dev/gpt/efiboot0               /boot/efi       msdosfs rw              2       2
/dev/vtbd0p3            none    swap    sw              0       0
dlp.srv.world:/nfsshare /mnt    nfs     nfsv4,rw        0       0

[3]	To mount dynamically when anyone access to NFS Share, Configure Automount.

root@node01:~ #

vi /etc/fstab

# add [noauto] option

# Device                Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump    Pass#
/dev/gpt/efiboot0               /boot/efi       msdosfs rw              2       2
/dev/vtbd0p3            none    swap    sw              0       0
dlp.srv.world:/nfsshare /mnt    nfs     nfsv4,rw,noauto        0       0

root@node01:~ #

vi /etc/auto_master

# comment out
#/net           -hosts          -nobrowse,nosuid,intr

# uncomment
/-              -noauto

root@node01:~ #

echo 'autofs_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf

root@node01:~ #

service automountd start

root@node01:~ #

df -hT /mnt

Filesystem   Type      Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
map -noauto  autofs      0B      0B      0B   100%    /mnt

root@node01:~ #

ls -l /mnt
