Reg NFS server

[akt]

hai,

i am running an NFS Server in my RHEL 3 ws box.i want to know the purposes of the following files


/var/lib/nfs/etab
/var/lib/nfs/rmtab
/var/lib/nfs/xtab

You really need to look to google for answers like this. Anyway,

* /var/lib/nfs/rmtab : each line shows the client's name and the file system imported from this server;
* /var/lib/nfs/etab: the /etc/exports file only contains a wish list. etab is created by exportfs. It contains on each line detailed information about the options used when exporting a file system towards a single client. It's the reference file used by rpc.mountd when started
* /proc/fs/nfs/exports contains the clients list as known by the kernel
* /var/lib/nfs/xtab: Use for accuracy when etab holds client names and machines groups with wildcards. This file only contains explicit machine names.

The entire article by Frédéric Raynal seems to contain a lot of info about NFS.
