37.2 Importing File Systems with YaST

Users authorized to do so can mount NFS directories from an NFS server into their
own file trees. This can be achieved using the YaST module NFS Client. Just enter the
hostname of the NFS server, the directory to import, and the mount point at which to
mount this directory locally. The changes will take effect after Add is clicked in the
first dialog. Click Open Port in Firewall to open the firewall to allow access to the
service from remote computers. The firewall status is displayed next to the check box.
Clicking Finish to saves your changes. See Figure 37.1, "NFS Client Configuration
with YaST" (page 704).
The configuration is written to /etc/fstab and the specified file systems are
mounted. When you start the YaST configuration client at a later point in time, it also
reads the existing configuration from this file.
An NFSv4 file system can currently only be imported manually. This is explained in
Section 37.3, "Importing File Systems Manually" (page 705).
