Hello all,
Here at UCD Music we're running an '030 cube with the 1.0a release (soon to
get the software upgrade!), and I wish to make the cube an NFS client to our
Sun 3/160 system with its huge hard drives...or more accurately I wish to
mount several of the Sun's ("roger") partitions read/write on our NeXT. The
/etc/fstab file AND the NetInfo database (as seen through "NetInfo Manager")
both indicate the following information:
-------
#
# NOTE: This file is never consulted if NetInfo is running. It is only
# used during bootstrap.
#
/dev/sd0a / 4.3 rw,noquota,noauto 0 1
#
roger:/usr /Net/roger/usr nfs rw,bg,net 0 0
roger:/sound1 /Net/roger/sound1 nfs rw,bg,net 0 0
roger:/sound2 /Net/roger/sound2 nfs rw,bg,net 0 0
roger:/sound3 /Net/roger/sound3 nfs rw,bg,net 0 0
roger:/sound4 /Net/roger/sound4 nfs rw,bg,net 0 0
-------
But the /etc/mtab I get after boot or "mount -a" is:
-------
/dev/sd0a "/" 4.3 rw,noquota,noauto 0 1
roger:/usr "/Net/roger/usr/roger/usr" nfs rw,bg 0 0
roger:/sound1 "/Net/roger/sound1/roger/sound1" nfs rw,bg 0 0
roger:/sound2 "/Net/roger/sound2/roger/sound2" nfs rw,bg 0 0
roger:/sound3 "/Net/roger/sound3/roger/sound3" nfs rw,bg 0 0
roger:/sound4 "/Net/roger/sound4/roger/sound4" nfs rw,bg 0 0
-------
I have absolutely no idea what causes this! What I would like to do is
perform all network management through the /etc/* administration files and
not use NetInfo at all, but now I'm not sure how to stop it.
Another problem is that once the file systems are mounted, I have read but
no write access to the Sun disks. The sun system exports the needed file
systems rw, and acknowledges the NeXT as a trusted host, so again I am
stumped.
Any help or insights you could provide would be much appreciated. Please
post or mail to me at

Hopefully version 2.0 will be more predictable and provide more sys
administration applications.
Thanx much! -- Wayne (frog) Jackson
