How do I export a new directory from the frontend to all the compute nodes that is accessible under /home?
Execute this procedure: • Add the directory you want to export to the file /etc/exports. For example, if you want to export the directory /export/disk1, add the following to /etc/exports: /export/disk1 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0(rw) Note This exports the directory only to nodes that are on the internal network (in the above example, the internal network is configured to be 10.0.0.0) • Restart NFS: # /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs restart • Add an entry to /etc/auto.home. For example, say you want /export/disk1 on the frontend machine (named frontend-0) to be mounted as /home/scratch on each compute node. Add the following entry to /etc/auto.home: scratch frontend-0:/export/disk1 • Inform 411 of the change: # make -C /var/411 Now when you login to any compute node and change your directory to /home/scratch, it will be automounted.
