NFS question
Good morning,
Here's a question that I've not found an answer to anywhere. Let's say I
want to NFS mount the /usr/local directory of my server on each of the
clients in my computer lab. Obviously, the /usr/local directory on the
client has stuff stored there after installing RH5.1 on the clients.
(Actually, maybe it's just empty directories, but my question remains) I
know how to export directories from the server, but what about the
corresponding directory on the client; does it just get overwritten by the
NFS-mounted directory?
Do I need to do something special with the clients when I'm installing
Linux to make sure I can safely NFS-mount directories later?
Thanks for any help. BTW, I hope these frequent questions aren't boring
everyone. Maybe someone else can learn something too.
