SUN OS with normal (fixed) NFS mounting

Under SUN OS, you can permanently mount all CD-ROM diskettes directly on your Sun work station. The contents of the CD-ROM diskettes will appear as separate Unix file systems, for example /CEDRCD/disk1, disk2...

The file /etc/fstab in your work station should include the NFS location, for example

	bigsur.lbl.gov:/export/cdrom/cd043

of each CD-ROM, and the location, for example

	/CEDRCD/disk181

where you want it mounted in your own work station.

In addition, for NFS access to CD-ROM software and documentation, the file /etc/fstab should include the NFS location

	cedr.lbl.gov:/data9/old/parep2

and the location, for example

	/CEDRCD/data1

where you want that file system mounted in your own work station. We illustrate the format of the file /etc/fstab with recent examples from two work stations:

To mount all the CD-ROM diskettes, log in to your work station as root, modify the file /etc/fstab, and type "mount -vat nfs". Then all the CD-ROMs will be available to all users of your work station. The file /etc/fstab must be modified (and the CD-ROMs remounted) whenever the NFS locations at the University of California are changed. The current NFS locations of all the diskettes are described in the URL
http://merrill.wwh.net/cdrom/install/nfsloc.online
which is regularly updated.

In addition, the NFS location

	cedr.lbl.gov:/data9/old/parep2

is subject to change. Its current location is specified in the document you are now reading.

Please inform Deane Merrill (dwmerrill@lbl.gov) if you wish to be notified additionally by electronic mail, of changes in NFS locations.
