Home / Other I-Appliances / 3Com Audrey NFSD installed on Mac. Now what? How do i set up and access a share on a Mac usinfgnfsd?

NFSD installed on Mac. Now what? (modified 0 times) ABJim Profile | Email I installed nfsd on my mac. Then I went to terminal on audrey and typed fs-nfs2 192.168.1.101:/Mac HD (Mac HD is the name of my harddrive) Terminal returned to the prompt. Can someone give me detailed instructions on what to do next? Mac nfsd can be found here http://prozac.cwru.edu/jude/macnfs/Macnfsd.html 05-19-2002 13:17:14

RE:NFSD installed on Mac. Now what? (modified 0 times) jukebox Profile Assuming you export the whole hard disk from the root and you name the share on Audrey mac the command normally would be: fs-nfs2 192.168.1.101:/ /mac You'll get this way a directory /mac on Audrey containing the share. Hope this works for you. jukebox http://www.prins.net/audrey/index.html 05-19-2002 13:46:48

RE:NFSD installed on Mac. Now what? (modified 0 times) ABJim Profile | Email Do i need to create the /mac directory in audrey or will that command di it? If it does, I havent found it. Jim 05-19-2002 14:02:40

RE:NFSD installed on Mac. Now what? (modified 0 times) ABJim Profile | Email OK, i figured out to mkdir a directory called mac. Now. how do I share just one subdirectory on my mac, for example, a subdirectory called Audrey on Mac HD? I tried fs-nfs2 192.168.1.101:/mac HD/audrey/ /mac, did not work. Jim 05-19-2002 14:40:06

RE:NFSD installed on Mac. Now what? (modified 0 times) jukebox Profile There should be no need to create the directory yourself. The fs-nfs2 command will create the directory as needed. Your command line will not work with the space in it. Follow my directions for the command line. You have to setup your nfs server first. Follow the directions that come with the server. Somehow you will have to create an exports file on the MAC determining which directory you want to make available and adjust the command line accordingly. Normally the exports file is setup in /etc/exports. jukebox http://www.prins.net/audrey/index.html 05-19-2002 18:08:04

RE:NFSD installed on Mac. Now what? (modified 0 times) ABJim Profile | Email I changed the name of Mac HD to MacHD and was able to mount a share! Now the only problem is that I get, in my share directory on Audrey, a list of the first 6 or 7 files on MacHD. I would like to mount a subdirectory on the Mac, not the wholw volume.. I don't know if this is possible. When I try this: fs-nfs2 192.168.1.101:/MacHD/audrey /share where /MacHD/audrey is the directory I want to share files from, I get nothing. The nfsd docs don't mention how to do this. How do you do this in windows? 05-20-2002 06:46:08

RE:NFSD installed on Mac. Now what? (modified 0 times) jukebox Profile The contents of the exports file determines what the share exactly will be. Currently your share is / and you want it to be /audrey With windows you woud have the exports file in the etc dir in the windows directory: c:\windows\etc\exports jukebox http://www.prins.net/audrey/index.html 05-20-2002 07:30:42

RE:NFSD installed on Mac. Now what? (modified 0 times) ABJim Profile | Email Sorry if I am being dense. How do you set the content of the export file? Jim 05-20-2002 08:26:27

RE:NFSD installed on Mac. Now what? (modified 0 times) jukebox Profile I'm not familiar with the MAC OS or the mac nfs server. A news group exists for mac-nfsd. If you subscribe I'm sure you will find the answer there. All I can see on the web is your server does have exports control, but I don't know the syntax of the exports file. jukebox 05-20-2002 09:14:40

RE:NFSD installed on Mac. Now what? (modified 0 times) ABJim Profile | Email OK- The experts say I can only mount a volume, still i should be able to use phjuke. Mac users, stay tuned. Jim 05-22-2002 15:56:27

RE:NFSD installed on Mac. Now what? (modified 0 times) Chester Profile I tried using nsfd last night and used: fs-nfs2 192.168.1.101:/MACHD /mac I got the /mac sub-directory on the Audrey, in the root directory. Opening it brought up only a few of the items in the MACHD directory, as you described. I set PhJuke to look in /MACHD in its settings screen. Running PhJuke again shows the partial MACHD directory. One of the folders had MP3s in it. Opening it similarily showed only a few files. I was able to select an MP3 and play it without a skip. Is this what you're getting Jim? Right now the only problems are mounting a selected directory instead of the whole volume (really only a minor inconvenience), and getting the Audrey to display the contents of the whole directory (this is a deal-breaker at this point). Any suggestions/solutions? Chester 05-22-2002 16:18:50

RE:NFSD installed on Mac. Now what? (modified 0 times) ABJim Profile | Email This is precisely what is happening to me! I will post to the mac-nfsd list about it tonight. Jim 05-23-2002 11:02:56

RE:NFSD installed on Mac. Now what? (modified 0 times) ABJim Profile | Email No reponse from the mac-nfsd list so far. Looks like there is no action there at all. In the meantime, i have found that this works as well and is simpler: fs-nfs2 192.168.1.101:MacHD /share Jim 05-25-2002 07:23:29

RE:NFSD installed on Mac. Now what? (modified 0 times) jukebox Profile Have you tried to do a search for your problem in the news group? I believe http://groups.google.com allows you to do a search in news groups. jukebox http://www.prins.net/audrey/index.html 05-25-2002 11:02:25
