Describes how to mount a NFS server on a Linux client.
You can manually mount NFS on a Linux client when your system starts up.
Note: On nodes running CentOS, use the VIP for mounting because, by default, the mount
command will use the physical IP of the node.
-
List the NFS shares exported on the server.
For example, run the following command for NFS version 4 servers:
/opt/mapr/server/nfs4mgr list-exports
If the NFS protocol is not version 4 only, use the showmount
command to retrieve the list of exported NFS shares. For example:
showmount -e usa-node01
-
Mount the cluster using NFS.
For example:
mount -t nfs4 -o sec=krb5 usa-node01:/<psuedo_mapr> /mapr
Tip: For the best performance, use NFS v4.0.
Use the
vers=4.0 parameter in the mount command. For example:
mount -t nfs4 -o sec=krb5,vers=4.0 usa-node01:/<psuedo_mapr> /mapr
Note: When you mount manually from the command line, the mount point does not
persist after a reboot.
