Re: NFS and remote image catalogs/saves ?

Rob, did you end up putting your mounts/unmounts in a program.

Don't worry too much about those myriad of options I used in the MOUNT
command. I simply prompted the command and changed 'hard' to 'soft' as
per a thread from within the last 45 days.

And, as much as I like the verb/noun or verb/adjective/noun naming on
native IBM i commands, I will use the open system naming for commands
popular outside. For example, I will never use VFYTCPCNN instead of PING,
or ADDMFS instead of MOUNT. This makes it easier for me to understand
other realms and helps me when I want to do this from my PC and elsewhere
(I do use ping from the dos prompt). It also helps others in the large
exodus from other platforms to ours.





ok, so it is Friday afternoon... :-)

Where GDISYS was the 'server', and MAIL1 was the 'client', here is a
recent setup from an actual email I sent a coworker:

<snip>
I ran this on GDISYS:
STRNFSSVR SERVER(*ALL)
EXPORTFS OPTIONS('-I -O') DIR('/tmp')
EXPORTFS OPTIONS('-I -O') DIR('/Accounting')

I ran this on MAIL1:
md '/gdisys'
md '/gdisys/tmp'
md '/gdisys/Accounting'

MOUNT TYPE(*NFS) MFS('gdisys:/tmp') MNTOVRDIR('/gdisys/tmp')

OPTIONS('rw,suid,retry=5,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,timeo=20,retrans=5,acregmin=30,acregmax=60,acdirmin=30,acdirmax=60,soft,async,sec=sys,vers=3:2,nocache')
MOUNT TYPE(*NFS) MFS('gdisys:/Accounting') MNTOVRDIR('/gdisys/Accounting')



OPTIONS('rw,suid,retry=5,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,timeo=20,retrans=5,acregmin=30,acregmax=60,acdirmin=30,acdirmax=60,soft,async,sec=sys,vers=3:2,nocache')

MAIL1 can do this
wrklnk '/gdisys/Accounting'
and
wrklnk '/gdisys/tmp'
</snip>

bcc'ing you because the list strips attachments but iNav does put an icon
on that folder if it is a mount on a remote system

but it does not put an icon on it if it is 'exported' like it does with
'shares'.

Apparently TAPVRT01 is not support via NFS, just optical only.

Could we step back a bit for those of us who don't have any experience at
working with NFS? I understand that mainstream platforms including IBM i
can run an NFS service. I see IBM i commands for starting and stopping NFS

servers. I understand that stream file APIs can be used against files on
remote servers, via NFS.

But how does IBM i act as an NFS client? I suppose the idea is to perform
file I/O against a local IFS directory which maps to a remote server, but
how do you set that up?
