| - | ====== Home Directories on Arch Linux ====== | ||
| - | ====== Client Config ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Packages ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Install Required Packages | ||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | pacman -S rpcbind nfs-utils nfsidmap | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Configs ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Change the lines in these files to the values defined. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | <file|/etc/idmapd.conf> | ||
| - | Domain = acm.cs | ||
| - | </file> | ||
| - | <file|/etc/conf.d/nfs-common> | ||
| - | NEED_IDMAPD="yes" | ||
| - | </file> | ||
| - | <file|/etc/fstab> | ||
| - | 172.29.0.6:/nfs-dir /mount-point nfs4 rw,hard,defaults 0 0 | ||
| - | </file> | ||
| - | <file|/etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf> | ||
| - | [Time] | ||
| - | NTP=172.29.0.6 172.29.0.7 | ||
| - | FallbackNTP=0.us.pool.ntp.org 1.us.pool.ntp.org 2.us.pool.ntp.org | ||
| - | </file> | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Daemons ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Two daemons need to be started after networking in order to mount NFS directories and one to keep things working right | ||
| - | * rpcbind | ||
| - | * nfs-common | ||
| - | * systemd-timesyncd (timedatectl set-ntp true) | ||
| - | |||
| - | Start rpcbind then nfs-common, then you will be able to mount the nfs directories, add these entries to rc.conf in the daemons array after the network/net-profiles entries. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ====== Server Config ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Mozart is currently the NFS file server and is only accessible to members of the ACM LAN Admins group. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Exported directories are located in /export, this is the NFS root | ||
| - | ===== Packages ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Install Required Packages | ||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | pacman -S rpcbind nfs-utils nfsidmap openntpd | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Configs ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Change the lines in these files to the values defined. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | The number of nfsd threads in increased from the default to improve preformance. | ||
| - | <file|/etc/conf.d/nfs-server> | ||
| - | # Number of servers to start up; the default is 8 servers. | ||
| - | NFSD_COUNT="32" | ||
| - | </file> | ||
| - | Configure the NTP server to sync against the US NTP pool and make sure that clients on the LAN have access | ||
| - | <file|/etc/ntpd.conf> | ||
| - | # sample ntpd configuration file, see ntpd.conf(5) | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Addresses to listen on (ntpd does not listen by default) | ||
| - | listen on 0.0.0.0 | ||
| - | |||
| - | # sync to a single server | ||
| - | #server ntp.example.org | ||
| - | |||
| - | # use a random selection of NTP Pool Time Servers | ||
| - | # see http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers | ||
| - | servers us.pool.ntp.org | ||
| - | </file> | ||
| - | |||
| - | And finally this file controls the exporting of directories, and should have entries like these. | ||
| - | To prevent issues with wildcards or IP ranges, each client has a separete config | ||
| - | <file|/etc/exports> | ||
| - | /export 172.29.0.0/24(rw,fsid=0,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash) | ||
| - | /export/path-to-acm-home-dirs 172.29.0.2(rw,no_subtree_check,async,nohide,no_root_squash) | ||
| - | /export/skel 172.29.0.2(ro,no_subtree_check,async,nohide,no_root_squash) | ||
| - | </file> | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Daemons ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Three daemons need to be started after networking in order to serve NFS directories and one to keep things working right | ||
| - | * rpcbind.service | ||
| - | * nfs-client.target | ||
| - | * nfs-server.service | ||
| - | * opennptd.service | ||
| - | |||
| - | Start rpcbind, then nfs-common, and then nfs-server, then you will be able to mount the nfs directories, add these entries to rc.conf in the daemons array after the network/net-profiles entries. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Enable the appropriate daemons via the systemd systemctl command | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Moving /var/lib/nfs to tempfs ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | To increase server preformance and reduce the number of lockups on the NFS clients, especially since many are workstations, /var/lib/nfs, the home pf the nfsd rpcpipefs, to a tempfs directory aka to memory rather than disk. Add this daemon to the daemons line of rc.conf **BEFORE** nfs-common and nfs-server. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Add this line to the fstab | ||
| - | <file| /etc/fstab> | ||
| - | none /var/lib/nfs tmpfs defaults,mode=0755 0 0 | ||
| - | </file> | ||
| - | |||
| - | Copy /var/lib/nfs to a separate directory called /var/lib/nfs.d then add these files to setup the systemd service. | ||
| - | |||
| - | <file|/etc/systemd/system/nfsvartemp.service> | ||
| - | |||
| - | [Unit] | ||
| - | Description=NFS Tempfs Setup | ||
| - | Before=nfsd.service | ||
| - | |||
| - | [Service] | ||
| - | Type=oneshot | ||
| - | ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/nfsvartemp | ||
| - | |||
| - | [Install] | ||
| - | WantedBy=multi-user.target | ||
| - | |||
| - | </file> | ||
| - | |||
| - | <file|/usr/local/sbin/nfsvartemp> | ||
| - | #!/bin/bash | ||
| - | cp -R /var/lib/nfs.d/* /var/lib/nfs | ||
| - | </file> | ||
| - | |||
| - | Lastly | ||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | systemctl enable nfsvartemp.service | ||
| - | </code> | ||
