ShadowFoxLSU Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 I am trying to build a multidisk server. The way I want to set this up is: Comp 1 Phoenix(Slave) -P133 - 3 hard-drives (fire,ash,rebirth) Comp 2 Hydra (Master Server) -900Mhz Athlon - 1 HDD 2 partitions (hydra,data) Comp 3 Centaur(slave) - 1Ghz Athlon - 2 HDD's (man, horse) Comp 4 Loki (slave/Desktop) - 2600+ Athlon XP - 1 HDD - 2 Partitions to forward (downloads,data) I want all of these drives to show up in the master server (hydra) as /mnt/Phenoix/fire /mnt/Phoenix/ash /mnt/Phenoix/rebirth /mnt/hydra/data/ /mnt/Centaur/horse /mnt/Centaur/man /mnt/Loki/downloads /mnt/Loki/files All of the computers are behind a firewall and the master server (hydra) has the SSH ports forwarded to it. I would like to have all of the slaves connect via SSH or NFS. What would be the best and most secure way to set this up so I have complete access to all my data?

kmc77 Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 (edited) I'm not answering anything here, I just want to give kudos to another greek mythology fan. I am assuming this. Am I wrong? Although I thought Loki was Norse mythology. Edited April 14, 2004 by kmc77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 IMO, the best option would be to mount the folders via NFS. It's easy to set up and mount your folders where you want them (in MDK, anyway). Sot so sure about security, though. I have 3 NFS mounts on my laptop from my desktop computer so I can copy files back and forth and share data. Not the fastest method out there, but it works quite well.

liquidzoo Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 On each of your systems that will have exports to your server, you need NFS installed (obviously). You will need to edit your /etc/exports file to look like this: /mnt/music/Music (rw) /home/liquidzoo/Downloads/laptop (rw) /var/www/html (rw) I think that's all you need to do. Restart the NFS service, then go to your server. I will have to give you an example of the fstab from my laptop when I get home. That will show how to set up that file to mount the folders. Then all you have to do is create the mountpoints and you should be all set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
