- Hi, all
-
- After experimenting with NFS for a while there are a couple
- of questions left unanswered. I hope you can help me to find
- the answers on the following questions:
-
- 1. Apart from the SHOW DEV NFS, is there a way to see what
- filesystems are mounted on remote systems?
-
- 2. What does the /SEMANTICS=(NOVMS_ACCESS_CHECK) qualifier do
- when supplied with the NFSMOUNT command? I know what's on
- page 6-5 of the manual. But without this semantic quali-
- fier I have no access to directories I own on the unix
- system and which are nonaccessible to the world. It looks
- like the NFS RPC query on the target unix system runs
- under a username which has no access to such a directory.
- What danger is in using this sematic??
-
- 3. In relation with the first question: where does the client
- save it's information on mounted filesystems, in order to
- survive a reboot? Or is the information in NFS_MOUNT*.COM
- used to survive such a reboot?
-
- 4. Do I *really* need to create this NFS_MOUNT*.COM command
- procedures, or is there a Unix-like fstab approach?
-
- Hope you can help,
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
