Running NASD-NFS clients

We assume in what follows that the environment variable NASDROOT is set to point at the root directory of the NASD software tree, i.e. an incantation like

% $NASDROOT/foo/bar/bletch runs the program foo/bar/bletch under the NASD tree.

There are three steps to starting up NASD-NFS clients:

  1. Make sure you're running a kernel with NASD in it. Currently, NASD only supports NFS under Digital Unix.
  2. Copy $NASDROOT/utils/dux/mount_nasd_p to /sbin/mount_nasd_p.
  3. Incant as follows:
        % mount -t nasd_p filemanager:pathname mountpoint
          
    For instance, if the filemanager is running on a machine called rhoda and has been configured to export the path /test, you might say:
        % mount -t nasd_p rhoda:/test /mnt
          
    which will mount the given NASD-NFS partition as /mnt on the client machine.
