Title: NFS Contrib?
Post by: dtech on January 09, 2010, 04:40:46 PM

Hi All,

I'm not sure what happened but I can't seem to find any trace of how to use SME as an NFS server. I can still get the contrib from the contribs repository, but no howto. Anyone? Daniel at firewall-services.com used to be the maintainer, now the site makes no mention of SME at all.

Thanks in advance,

-dtech

OK, so after searching around for quite a while and not finding anything complete, this is what I've cobbled together. Please reply with corrections/additions.

1. Install the smeserver-nfs contrib like this:

Code: [Select]

yum install smeserver-nfs --enablerepo=smecontribs --enablerepo=smeupdates-testing

2. Then execute the following:

Code: [Select]

config setprop nfs status enabled
config setprop portmap status enabled
3. Edit /etc/exports to add the directories to be shared (this line exports user home directories and ibays):

Code: [Select]

/home/e-smith/files    *.mydomain(rw,sync,no_wdelay,nohide,no_root_squash)
Make sure to leave a bank line at the end of the file.

4. Then, the following, which will reboot the server:

Code: [Select]

signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
5. Finally, after rebooting, check to see what is being exported:

Code: [Select]

showmount -e

I´ll try to use this info and install smeserver-nfs contrib... and if you agree, create a HowTo about this.

Do you have any news about this ?

Thanks

I agree, just used this again today on a new SME 7.5 install and it works. One spelling correction, at this line:

Code: [Select]

Make sure to leave a bank line at the end of the file.
"bank" should be "blank".

HowTo created: http://wiki.contribs.org/NFS

It's not well formated... but isn't at forum only now! ;)

I'll update format ASAP (anyone wishing help is welcome) or as soon as I remember how :)
Regards

On SME 7.5.1 and a very small server nfsd freezes the system after some hours.
don't find errors, clients with debian 6.0.
