N5200 Module: NFSEXPORT
From Thecus Wiki
Contents |
Facts
Name: NFSEXPORT (export all internal filesystems for NFS)
Maintainer(s): Andreas Vogel (omega)
Target: N5200
Latest version: 2.00.01
Depends on module(s): none
Description
General Overview and Installation
This module comes as a ZIP compressed file with the name N5200_<modname>_<version>.zip, where <modname> is the module name and <version> is the version number of the module. While unpacking the ZIP file, a new directory N5200_<modname>_<version> containing the module and its source code is created.
The module file is called <modname>.mod and the source code is located in the directory <modname>. The source code is included for interested people and is not needed for module installation. The file Makefile can be used to rebuild the module on Linux systems.
The module is installed using the "System"->"Module Mgmt" menu in the Thecus Web Server Administration. Specify the file <modname>.mod as the module file and press "Install".
The whole installation process is logged and sent as an E-Mail if you're configured in the E-Mail notification configuration. After successful installation enable the module in order to run the module.
After uninstallation of the module, a log of the uninstall process will be send to the user(s) configured in the E-mail notification configuration. Prior uninstallation of the module, the actual configuration data is backed up to the place "/data/raid/module/backup/<modname>". When the module is installed again, the module configuration is restored from that place if available.
Module version 2.00.00
This module will do the following things:
- All internal filesystems (e.g. /img/bin, /img/www, etc.) are exported for NFS access.
- You can see the list of exported filesystems with using this command on your Linux/Unix computer (as root): showmount -e <ip-of-your-N5200>
On the module property page, you can do this:
- The actual list of all NFS exported filesystems is shown.
Module version 2.00.01
Starting with FW 2.00.04 the file /etc/exports gets dynamically created everytime the system is started. This version adds the additional exports whenever the module is started (not only when the module is enabled).
