An NFS directory is shared by a SPARC server.
Utilizing a Samba application, it is not a problem to link a folder shared by an MS-Windows server.
But, it is hard to link a directory shared by an NFS server on Unity.
What should I do to link?
Not really. First you need to install the package nfs-common:
apt-get install nfs-common
If the nfs server is already set, you need to add this line on the /etc/exports
to allow your client to access:
/File_to_share_on_the_server/ 192.168.1.x(rw,all_squash,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000,sync)
Replace 192.168.1.x
by your client's IP.
I guess this step can be done by the GUI on your Sparc server.
On your client, just need to mount your share now:
Temporary:
mount -t nfs -o rw 192.168.x.x:/File_to_share_on_the_server /mnt/yourfolder
Permanent: Add a line in your /etc/fstab
:
192.168.x.x:/File_to_share_on_the_server /mnt/yourfolders nfs defaults 0 2
This time 192.168.x.x
must to be replace by the IP of your server. You can find lots of tutorial on the web to install & configure nfs...
