View Full Version : mounting remote unix machine's directory in knoppix.
I would like to know how to mount a directory from a remote unix machine in the local network onto my current knoppix session. I did see information for mounting a remote windows directory, but not for a unix machine!
One thing I tried (and it works well on Mandrake Linux) was to edit the /etc/fstab as a root
and add a entry as shown below:
<remotemachinename>:/home/ndd /home/ndd nfs defaults
Then I cerated a directory called /home/ndd, and later
did a 'mount -a '
but there is no response and the terminal hangs up.
Please help.
Thanks.

Can someone please cut and paste these three step instruction on your FAQ for mounting a remote directory from a unix machine onto knoppix session?
Q. How to mount a remote directory from a unix machine in Knoppix session.
A. Step.1 Become root and edit /etc/fstab to add a entry of the form:
<remote_machine_namek>:<remote directory> <Local_directory_map> nfs defaults
Step 2. Start portmap deamon:
/etc/init.d/portmap start
Step 3. mkdir <local_directory_map>, and mount it using
mount -a
Thanks Dave for your kind support.
Appreciate your help.

> <remote_machine_namek>:<remote directory> <Local_directory_map> nfs defaults
--Example:
10.0.0.1:/mnt/bkps/local /mnt/bkps900 nfs defaults,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,retry=1,bg,soft,int r,rw 0 0
--If you increase the rsize the connection will be faster. I think 16384 and 32768 also work, but feel free to experiment.
