How to configure NFS on Linux

1. Introduction The Network File System is certainly one of the most widely used network services. Network file system (NFS) is based on the  Remote procedure call  which allows the client to automatically mount remote file systems and therefore transparently provide an access to it as if the file system is local. If you still have some questions after reading this article please try our new  LinuxCareer Forum . 2. Scenario In this scenario we are going to export the file system from the an IP address 10.1.1.50 ( NFS server ) host and mount it on an a host with an IP address 10.1.1.55 ( NFS Client ). Both NFS server and NFS client will be running Ubuntu Linux. 3. Prerequisites At this point, we assume that the NFS service daemon is already installed on your system, including portmap daemon on which NFS setup depends. If you have not done so yet simply install nfs-common package on both NFS client and NFS server using using apt-get ...

Adding a New Hard Drive to Linux using LVM

I did this on RHEL 5.5. You should have the new drive created and added to the machine before you start anything.First you need to fdisk the drive like any other drive in linux. One key step is that you need to change the type; option ?t? to ?8e? for lvm. root@itsme ~# fdisk /dev/sdc Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable. The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 7832. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite) Command (m for help): n Command action e ex...
