NAME
vhe_list — information file for the Virtual Home Environment
DESCRIPTION
/etc/vhe_list
is an ASCII file that contains the information needed
to configure a group of machines together
with the Virtual Home Environment (VHE).
These machines are connected using the Network File System (NFS).
The information from
vhe_list
is used by the script
vhe_mounter.
An entry in
vhe_list
contains the following information:
Host name of a machine exporting a file system.
Name of the file system to be mounted by NFS.
Name of the directory that acts as the mount point.
Mount options for the NFS mount (this is optional).
For every file system that is to be available (exported)
for NFS mounting for VHE, there is an entry in the
vhe_list
file.
Blank lines, lines of white spaces, or lines beginning with the
#
character are ignored.
EXAMPLES
Consider two machines named
high
and
low,
each to be connected with VHE.
Machine
high
is exporting the file system
/
to be mounted on directory
/vhe/high.
Machine
low
is exporting the file system
/
to be mounted on directory
/vhe/low
and the file system
/home
to be mounted on directory
/vhe/low/home
using the NFS mount options of
timeo=10,wsize=4096.
For this situation, the contents of the
vhe_list
file would resemble the following:
high / /vhe/high
low / /vhe/low timeo=10,wsize=4096
low /home /vhe/low/home timeo=10,wsize=4096
# A comment line
Mount options must be separated by commas,
and must contain no spaces.
Mount options are the same as those used in the
mount
command (see
mount(1M)).
