PART$-$A PART$-$A: NFS

$1.$ Configure Montreal as NFS server with $/$nfsexp as the nfs shared directory, create at least two files

nfs$1$ and nfs$2$ with data in $/$nfsexp and export $/$nfsexp as rw and sync options to Toronto which will be

NFS client and mount it on Toronto as $/$sharednfs$.$

$2.$ Check if the shared files in nfs client mount point can be read and written in toronto as regular user.

PART$-$B: NFS

$3.$ Create another share in NFS server$($montreal$)$ as $/$branchdocs$,$ create atleast two non$-$empty files branch$1$

and branch$2$ in it and export it with ro and sync options to NFS Client $($Toronto$)$ which is NFS client, and

mount it in Toronto as $/$hqdocs

$4.$ Check if you can read and write files branch$1$ and branch$2$ in toronto as regular user

PART$-$C: NFS with a partner in LAB

$5.$ Select a partner during lab, both create $/$labsharelast$4$digits$-$of$-$yourhumberid as NFS share with at least

two non$-$empty files lablast$4$digits$-$yourhumberid and nfslast$4$digits in NFS server and export the

directory to your partners NFS client.

$6.$ In your NFS client mount your partner's export directory as $/$partnerlast$4$digit$-$humber$-$id$-$of$-$partner

$7.$ Confirm you can view your partner$$s files and be able to edit at least one.

PART$-$D: NFS MONITORING

$23.$ Display NFS and RPC I$/$O statistics on NFS server $($SCREENSHOT$)$

$24.$ Display NFS and RPC I$/$O statistics on NFS client $($SCREENSHOT$)$

$25.$ In NFS client, provide rw statistics for each mounted share. $($SCREENSHOT$)$

PART$-$E: AUTOFS

$26.$ Create a new directory $/$autodir in your NFS server $($montreal$)$ and populate it with non$-$empty files

autodir$1$ and autodir$2$ and export $/$autodir to NFS client $($toronto$).$ Using autofs direct map mount it in

toronto VM as $/$autodirmnt$.$

$27.$ Create a new directory $/$autoindir in your NFS server $($montreal$)$ and populate it with non$-$empty files

autoindir$1$ and autoindir$2$ and export $/$autoindir to NFS client $($toronto$).$ Using autofs indirect map mount

it in toronto VM as $/$misc$/$autoindirmnt$.$

PART$-$F: CONFIGURE MOUNT POINT TO BE PERSISTENT

$28.$ Change root password to a password you can remember

$29.$ In NFS Client, configure $/$sharednfs and $/$branchdocs NFS mount points to be persistent $($SCREENSHOT cat

$/$etc$/$fstab$),$ reboot and confirm that your configuration works. It is highly recommended to have a backup

of $/$etc$/$fstab file before editing it$.$

NOTE : $($in case system fails to restart after entries in $/$etc$/$fstab$)$

$$ NFS server must be running before starting NFS$-$client, if not NFS client could go to emergency mode$$

$$ Due to entries in $/$etc$/$fstab$,$ the system may enter into emergency mode or rescue mode due to entries in$$

$/$etc$/$fstab file.

$$ In the emergency mode, enter root password to log in as root user.$$

$$ Now edit $/$etc$/$fstab file, correct error in the line you have added, save and reboot OR you can comment

the line you have added by typing # at start of that line to correct it later after succe
