Some versions of the Linux NFS code only accept mount requests from a privileged port; try # mount -o -P linuxbox:/blah /mnt

Sun workstations running SunOS 4.X only accept mount requests from a privileged port; try # mount -o -P sunbox:/blah /mnt The most frequent problem is not understanding the correct format of /etc/exports. Please review exports(5) and the NFS entry in the Handbook, especially the section on configuring NFS.

You get NFS timeouts because you are using soft mounts. Normally, mounts are hard, which requires the client to continue attempts to reach the server forever. A soft mount allows the client to stop trying an operation after a period of time. A soft timeout may cause silent data corruption if it occurs during data or metadata transmissions, so you should only use soft mounts in the cases where client responsiveness is more important than data integrity.

NFS Version 2 supports up to 8KB reads and writes. NFS Version 3 allows larger reads and writes (see question A1). Stock 2.4 kernels earlier than 2.4.20 do not support read or write operations larger than 8192 bytes for either NFS Version 2 or 3. Server-side TCP support, introduced as an experimental compile-time option in 2.4.20, increases the server's maximum I/O size to 32KB by increasing the value of NFSSVC_MAXBLKSIZE (see question B2).

Yes, but there is no guarantee it will always work. There are no restrictions in the software which limit where the source data is located. However, CD-R requires a continuous stream of data as it is writing, and a busy network could interfere with performance. Also remember, the greater the recording speed the greater the sustained data transfer rate the drive requires. It is easy to test using a Dummy Write. Slow down the write speed and increase the buffer size.

The FAT file systems can be exported, starting with the early 2.4 kernels, but if used extensively, it may cause grief. First, only those operations supported by the exported file system will be honoured. Operations such as "chown", "link", and "symlink" are not supported by these file systems, and will fail. Read/write/create etc., should be fine, as long as the files remain relatively unchanged.

We expect the following local file systems to work, as they are tested often: ext2, ext3, jfs, reiserfs, xfs. These local file systems may work or may have a few minor-ish issues: iso9660, ntfs, reiser4, udf. Ask on the NFS mailing list for details. Any file system based on FAT or not having the ability to provide permanent inode numbers will have trouble with NFS versions 2 and 3 (see question C4).

one can mount new partitions temporary or permanently, as root make a new directory, for example we want to mount the D drive with fat32 file system first do: write the files system if they are nfts, ext2 or ext3.

How do I mount a .ISO image in linux? Written by English_Man. Last Updated 20/03/2004. I dont know about you, but I always like to browse ...

LCDs have mounting holes at the four corners. The general procedure is to mount the LCD on standoffs behind a rectangular hole in your box, panel, etc. Cover the hole with a transparent window and you're done. We offer a simple mounting kit for our 2x16 and 4x20 LCDs. Unfortunately, standardized mounting hardware for all of the various LCDs does not exist. The LCD manufacturers themselves don't make it.

Solution is to mount remote systems on the parent system and then access those files from the /mnt/host directory on the UML virtual machine. This has been fixed in version 1.2 onwards. Alternatively use mount with smbfs as this does work.

Yes. Just backup as usual but add '-d /mnt/nfs' or wherever your partition is mounted; don't use '-Oc' or '-Ot' at all; just '-Oi -d /root'. Then, after booting from the media which Mondo generates, you need to type 'ISO' at the console.

NFS installations can use ISO (or CD-ROM) images rather than copying an entire installation tree. After placing the required ISO images (the binary Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD-ROMs) in a directory, choose to install via NFS. You will then point the installation program at that directory to perform the installation. Verifying that the ISO images are intact before you attempt an installation will help to avoid problems that are often encountered during an NFS installation.

Get SDL-1.2.X from www.libsdl.org. Download the src or a precompiled package if it exists for your OS.

They are designed to go on 4” junction boxes, but the box must be braced securely to the joists to support the weight of the transformer.

Watt Stopper power packs contain a 1/2 inch snap-in nipple for quick installation in 1/2 inch knock outs, on the outside of an existing electrical enclosure. Three high voltage connections are made inside the box. Three conductor 22 gauge wire connects the power pack and the sensor.

I got this message "TTY write timeout on [/dev/ttyxxx]" but both nodes are up and I tested my serial cable
