Figure 8-5 File System Mounting
You can specify a remote directory to be mounted automatically at boot
time. To do this, you need to to log in as root and add a line to the
/etc/vfstab
file using a text editor, such as vi.
For example, to automount
/usr / anywork
on a machine called merlot
as
/mywork
on a machine called medoc (as in the previous example),
the following line would be added to the
/etc/vfstab
file on medoc:
merlot:/usr/anywork - /export/home/bs/myworknfs - yes rw,hard,intr
Where the fields are assigned as follows:
device to mount
This is the device name for a local file system or
host: pathname
for a remote directory.
device to fsck
This specifies raw device to
fsck.
In the case of an NFS
filesystem, a dash ( - ) should be used.
