Working with remote file system under Linux is not hard. Below I will show how to use the two most common remote file system used:
- NFS - Network File System
- CIFS - Common Internet File System
NFS
Show the NFS server’s export list.
$ showmount -e nfsserver.domain.com
Mount. Note that the directory /remote must exist before mount, if not create it with mkdir /remotenfs.
$ mount nfsserver.domain.com:/c/media /remotenfs
Unmount file systems
$ umount /remotenfs
CIFS
CIFS is the underlying remote file protocol used for samba server and which is the most common file server when having a mixed client environment with Windows and Linux.
Install client library
$ yum install samba-client
Show the CIFS server’s sharenames.
$ smbclient -L nfsserver.domain.com
Mount. Note that the directory /remote must exist before mount, if not create it with mkdir /remotecifs.
$ mount //cifsserver.domain.com/media /remotecifs
Unmount file systems
$ umount /remotecifs
