Using the Network Interface
Sharing Filesystems
mount point
This is the directory where the remote filesystem is to be
mounted. The directory must exist for the mount to
succeed.
FS type
This is the type of filesystem which is normally
ufs
for
a local filesystem or
nfs
for a network filesystem.
fsck pass
This is the number of times a filesystem checks to be
carried out. In this case a dash (
–
) means none. This is
normally 1 for the root filesystem, 2 for all other local
filesystems or 0 for remotely mounted filesystems.
mount at boot
This specifies whether or not the filesystem is mounted
automatically at boot time.
mount options
This field specifies mount options, such as read-only
(
ro
), read-write (
rw
) and no super user privileges
(
nosuid
). Other useful options for remotely mounted
filesystems are
hard
and
intr
which together enable
the local user to interrupt (with
Ctrl-C
) or to kill hung
processes which may occur if the network link is
disrupted.
Unmounting a remote filesystem
Remote files can be unmounted using the
umount
command. For
example:
# umount anywork
Caution
Unmounting is recommended whenever you have the intention of using your
SPARCbook away from the current network. Always unmount remote
filesystems before a Save if the filesystem is not going to be available when
you Resume.
