NFS by a Dummy
1. Go to the directory you wish to access and issue
> df .
svr01:/fs3/projects
2. Resolve the machine's IP address from its name
> nslookup svr01
Server: dns-xxx.abc.com
Address: 192.168.1.10
Name: svr01.abc.com
Address: 192.168.126.250
3. I'm not sure if this is some strange misconfiguration, but I actually need to mount the DNS's IP address?!? So on the machine where the mounting is needed, issue the following mount command to mount to the local /projects directory.
> mount 192.168.1.10:/fs3/projects /projects
> df .
svr01:/fs3/projects
2. Resolve the machine's IP address from its name
> nslookup svr01
Server: dns-xxx.abc.com
Address: 192.168.1.10
Name: svr01.abc.com
