question about appserver and mount problem

[zarzor_2010]

Hi all
I have a strange problem

I have a computer in the university and I have root access to this pc.
Iam trying to install Cblas library on it. But it gives me a starnge error

/usr/local/atlas is read only file system.

I tried doing mount -l
and it gave me that

appserver1:/export/d1/Linux/doe on /usr/local type nfs4 (ro,sec=.......)

I think what it means that the main server directory is mounted to /usr/local and it is read only.

So, how can I fix this problem to separate the two and make my /usr/local separate

Thanks in advance
Mina

Having root rights you can umount /usr/local and have your own stuff there. You can't mount it rw if it is exported ro.

Thank you so much

I used umount and it is working fine now.
But one last question please.

if i used umount is going to be unmounted even if i restarted. Or I will have to write umount every time? if yes, is there any thing I can do to mount it permenantely

Thanks

Edit /etc/fstab, comment out relevant line.

mmmmm...
I did not find it in the fstab file. Here is my file

/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0

Normally it should be in fstab. If it's not there - too many places one could put a script to give you definite answer. There are also a few ways to automount it.
Do you see during boot it getting mounted?

[zarzor_2010]

Yes, when I restart it gets back to the server.

I do not want to put it in ~/.bash-profile a command. I want to know where exactly it is defined. Is there is a way I can know?
It is appearing as appserver, though!!

appserver1:/export/d1/Linux/doe on /usr/local type nfs4 (ro,sec=.......)

can this help?
