Configuring NFS in SmartOS

In the past, I've written up configuring NFS in Solaris, FreeBSD,
and Linux. Now I'll turn my focus to SmartOS. Briefly, NFS
(network file system) provides access to remote filesystems which
appear similar to local resources on client hosts. The following

Configuring AutoFS in FreeBSD

As a follow up to AutoFS in Linux, this post details simple usage of
AutoFS under FreeBSD, as controlled by 'amd'.  The purpose of AutoFS is
to mount volumes as they are needed and unmount them when they are not
in use.  The same setup I used in the Linux write up is presented here,

Configuring AutoFS in Linux

This post details simple usage of AutoFS under Linux.  The purpose of
AutoFS is to mount volumes as they are needed and unmount them when
they are not in use.  This is useful for sharing out home directories,
documentation, or applications to clients from a NAS cluster as well

Configuring NFS in FreeBSD

Having written up Solaris and Linux, it's time to take a look at
configuring NFS in FreeBSD.  Briefly, NFS (network file system) provides
access to remote filesystems which appear similar to local resources
on client hosts.  The following focuses on simple NFS server and client

Configuring NFS in Linux

As a follow up to 'Configuring NFS in Solaris', we turn to the same
in Linux.  Briefly, NFS (network file system) provides access to remote
filesystems which appear similar to local resources on client hosts.
The following focuses on simple NFS server and client configuration in

Configuring NFS in Solaris

Networked environments allow for the sharing of many resources, including
filesystems (FS).  As a long time industry standard in UNIX, NFS (network
file system) provides access to remote filesystems which appear similar
to local resources on client hosts.  Since Sun Microsystems originally

FreeBSD Issue with Solaris NFS Shares

In a past NAS migration attempt, it was discovered that FreeBSD boxes
don't necessarily play well with NFS mounts shared from Solaris boxes
when the mount IP is on a virtual interface.  The reason behind this
issue is that Solaris, in dealing with virtual interfaces, responds

Overlaid Mount Problem

In UNIX environments, it's not uncommon to see various file systems (FS)
mounted, be it local storage, fiber attached from a SAN, network based
like NFS, etc.  These mounts may be exist for any number of reasons,
such as application data, user home directories, additional log space,
