HELP: Script to test NFS mount

Hi,

Can anyone teach me how to check whether NFS is mounted in a script?

I am trying do a backup using NFS to another computer. In the script, I will be using rsync. However I would like to make sure that the NFS is mounted successful before proceeding to rsync.

Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers,

Hi,

Either do this by checking for a known file on the NFS-mount (perhaps a mount-check flag file you have created).

Code:

---

if [ -f /nfs/mount1/.tagfile ]; then
 echo "Yep, mounted!"
else
 echo "No, not mounted!"
fi

---

Another option is to check the /proc/mount 'file' for the desired mount.

Code:

---

if grep "^server:/nfs/mount1" /proc/mounts >/dev/null; then
 echo "YEAH!"
else
 echo "NO"
fi

---

Good luck with your backup script, rsync rocks :)

Thanks !!!
