Free nfs mount software for linux

Magic Mounter is a user-space auto-mounter.

mmounter tries to mimic the behaviour of MacOS with regards to automatic monitoring and mounting of the volumes in your system (CDs, ZIP disks, floppies, HDs) using their volume name as the mount point.

It will optionally eject devices and let users mount/umount them.

Currently mmounter supports ext2, ext3, iso9660 (CD), HFS, and VFAT.

This tool is user-space only (doesnt require any kernel patching) and should be fairly portable.

Pam_smbmount is software that mounts file systems for user sessions. The project consists of a pluggable authentication module, daemon psmd and a psmount utility. Pam_smbmount is intended for servers with simultaneously working users. Currently it supports following file systems:
smbfs
any file systems that does not require user password for mounting (ext3, ntfs, nfs ...)
Main features:
- mount volumes when user starts session
- unmount volumes when user exits from system
- configure users that are allowed to mount particular volume(s) in configuration file
- exclude any part of user name when mounting volumes
- use special variables in configuration file in volume arguments
Advantages of pam_smbmount:
- Uses utmp database to decide whether user has logged off
- Hold database of mounted volumes per user. This feature permits usage of pam_smbmount on multi-user servers
- Mounts any amount of volumes without essential delay of authentication process
- Tries to remount volume if first attempt failed. You can set amount of tries in configuration file
- Doesnt stop unmounting volume if first attempt failed

lsd mount utilities project assist in setting up (creating) and mounting encrypted loopback file systems in Linux 2.4 and 2.6.
They also enable users (not just root) to mount encrypted file systems if appropriate entries have been added to /etc/fstab.
Enhancements:
- The installation footprint has been reduced by a factor of around 2.3.
- Formerly separate programs have been gathered into a single one.
- The name under which the program is installed was changed.
- The tool verbosity was greatly reduced (since standard error is now suppressed for most of the probing with external tools).
- To get a partial trace of the things happening internally (e.g. which external programs are invoked) you can now set the environment variable lsd_lama_trace=verbose.

Xfce 4 mount plugin is a plugin for the Xfce 4 panel allowing you to mount devices and have them opened in a file manager afterwards.

Usage:

Add it to the panel, close the appearing options dialog and simply click the new hard disk icon in your panel. You will see a menu containing all items from fstab, i.e. any partitions and removable media, that is currently inserted.

Now, you want to mount the inserted CD-Rom? Just click onto the appropriate line in the menu. Can’t mount it? But have the possibility to `sudo’? Then go to the options dialog and specify your own mount command, which might be `sudo mount’.

Next, you didn’t get any feedback if the CD was mounted successfully? Why don’t specify a file launcher in the options dialog to display the mounted volumes after mounting them?

Ok, now you’re done working with the CD and want to unmount it. You click the hard disk, click the appropriate line, but don’t know, whether it was unmounted successfully. You can check so by clicking the hard disk icon again and see, whether it is still mounted, or specify to display a short messages after successfully unmounting the mounted volume.

So, basically, everything works now, but you have network file systems which might be nice to be displayed... Well, there’s another option to include network file systems.
As a last item, you can also specify another mount icon you like more, e.g. a block device symbol, or a CD, or a rack, ...

NFS Backup System is a Perl script that backup system for NFS. The basic function nfsbu is an automated perl-script backup system between an NFS server and an NFS client.
Either by crontab or manual execution, directories listed in the configuration file can be backed up to a directory mounted on the NFS server. In turn, the NFS server uses the client-side script of nsbu (nfsbuc.pl) to move the data from the temporary NFS mount directory to their final places (also specified in the configuration file).
I created this script having been learning Perl for maybe 2 weeks and progressing not much further than page 12 of Programming Perl by Larry Wall and Randal L. Shwartz. Hence you may consider the code badly written, but a quote from the book Id like to include is "a Perl script is correct if its halfway readable and gets the job done before your boss fires you". So I take no blame for the code, Ive commented my code and it worked for me and I make no promises it will work for you.
With regards to licencing, I guess its not really worthy of the full 9 yards, but lets have the happy code hacker ethic of open source development. I.e. something of somewhat basic GPL licence terms and conditions. You may feel inclined to modify the code, in such case if you do, please e-mail me the changes and include the modified code. If youd like to redistribute it with your modifications, please include my name and the original code.
Main features:
- multiple directory backup, with alternative destination directories
- directories are simply listed in a file with their respective destinations
- thorough error checking, if any errors occur e-mail will be sent to the administrator
- checks the status of the NFS server and mountd to prevent any hang-ups from a dead NFS server which is common

DiskMonitor is a Kicker Applet of KDE that monitors free space of some disks.
Points:
Providing a fabulous and compact view of presentation like LCD.
Drawing itselt with very low-flicker.
Notes:
It supports a horizontal panel of KIcker, but doesnt work in a vertical panel.
It was tested in KDE 3.5.4 on FC5
Enhancements:
- Enable to sort partitions by Mount-Point.
- Support USB Memory Stick
- Change range of "refresh interval time" to 5sec - 60sec.(default 5sec)

Linux NFS Utilities are NFS utilities for Linux NFS clients and servers.
Main features:
- NFS Versions 2, 3, and 4 are supported on 2.6 and later kernels.
- NFS over UDP and TCP on IPv4 are supported on the latest 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.
- Linux NFS clients and servers have been tested against many non-Linux implementations.
- Since version 1.0.1 of the NFS utilities tarball has changed the server export default to "sync", then, if no behavior is specified in the export list (thus assuming the default behavior), a warning will be generated at export time.
- If you plan to deploy NFS extensively, consider subscribing to one of these mailing lists: NFS Mailing List, or the AutoFS Mailing List. Before reporting problems, you should search for similar issues in the searchable mail archive. Another searchable archive for NFS, supported by Google, is here. The searchable mail archive for AutoFS is here.
- A useful set of generic NFS references includes the following:
- - "NFS Illustrated," by Brent Callaghan; Addison-Wesley, 2000.
- - "Managing NFS and NIS, 2nd edition," by Hal Stern, Mike Eisler, Ricardo Labiaga; OReilly, 2001.
- - "Linux NFS and Automounter Administration," by Erez Zadok; Sybex, 2001.
- - "Using the Linux NFS Client with Network Appliance Filers," by Charles Lever; Netapp TR-3183, 2004.
- - "Mike Eislers NFS blog."
- - "Eric Kustarzs blog."
- - "NFS version 4 home page."
- - Finally, the "linux.org online library" has many references.
Quick setup client guide
1. Acquire and install a recent distribution of Linux.
2. Set up your /etc/exports file (man exports for details).
3. Consult your distributions documentation to determine which /etc/init.d start-up script is used to start your server. Start NFS services by invoking this script as root, using the "start" parameter. Consider adding this script to the list of scripts that are automatically run at system start-up. (Red Hat uses the chkconfig command for this purpose).
4. Read the NFS How-To for advice on tuning and securing your server.
Quick Client Setup Guide
1. Acquire and install a recent distribution of Linux. To enable NLM lock recovery, ensure your clients host name, as returned by uname -n, matches the host name returned by DNS.
2. The NLM protocol is handled by an in-kernel service in modern kernels, but the user-level rpc.statd program must be running to enable NLM lock recovery. Consult your distributions documentation to determine which /etc/init.d start-up script is used to start it. Start the NSM daemon by invoking this script as root, using the "start" parameter. Consider adding this script to the list of scripts that are automatically run at system start-up. (Red Hat uses the chkconfig command for this purpose).
3. Create the directories on your client where you will mount the NFS shares.
4. Add entries in /etc/fstab corresponding to your mount points (man nfs for details).
5. Use mount -a -t nfs to mount the NFS shares.
6. During system boot-up, most distributions automatically mount NFS shares that are listed in /etc/fstab. If yours doesnt, check your distributions documentation for instructions on how to configure your client to do this.
Enhancements:
- The "mount.nfs" command was added, since the nfs mount functionality is being migrated from util-linux to nfs-utils.
- Substantial changes to were made statd. Various pieces of old code were removed.
- Lots of bugfixes and improvements were made.
