mountnfs not in /etc/network/if-up.d/

Hi,
While trying to setup diskless cluster from https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EasyUbuntu...edClusterGuide I found something that is unavailable in my system. It is stated that

Quote:

Do the following to create a symbolic link which will automount the bootable filesystem as /dev/nfs on the server, when it starts up. This should not collide with other existing services in the directory (e.g. anything that looks like /etc/rcS.d/S34xxxxxxx), so check carefully before you create the link. If there's a service with a similar name, disable it before you do anything else.

$ ln -sf /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs /etc/rcS.d/S34mountnfs

However there is no /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs

Any idea about that?

I think that file is part of the initscripts package if I am not mistaken; Do you have that installed?

mahmoodn · 04-24-2011, 11:38 PM

Code:

root@server:/home/mahmood# dpkg -l | grep "initscript"
ii  initscripts                          2.87dsf-4ubuntu17                     scripts for initializing and shutting down t

Is it installed?

Run up a terminal, cd into /etc/network/if-up.d and post the contents of ls -al, it might not be there after all, but I just want to check. If anything, you might have to create that file, depending on the setup that you are running.

Yeah, if anything, you can just create a straight symbolic link to a new mountnfs file in that directory.

Sorry did not understand. Is everything ok?

corp769 · 04-25-2011, 12:03 AM

Actually yes, after looking through the documentation, since that file doesn't exist, I would press on and not worry about it for now.
