38.2 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 most easily 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. All this is done 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 38.1, "NFS Client Configuration with YaST"
(page 712).
This saves the changes to /etc/fstab and imports the specified file systems. When
you start the client at a later point in time, it reads the information from this file.
An NFSv4 file system can currently only be imported manually. This is explained in
Section 38.3, "Importing File Systems Manually" (page 713).
