Mounting remote directories

You can mount remote disks which contain shared applications and data, and also which contain your own files if you have an account on a machine which can act as a file server. The former will save you disk space, the latter will save you the trouble of backing up your own data on your own machine. Remote mounting is also described in the "Network and system administration" booklet which comes with the NeXT. The steps are: /dev/sd0a / 4.3 rw,noquota,noauto 0 1 cernvax:/usera /Net nfs rw,bg,net 0 0 cernvax:/userd /Net nfs rw,bg,net 0 0 cernvax:/tmp /Net nfs rw,bg,net 0 0 ecpnext02:/LocalApps /Net nfs rw,bg,net 0 0 ecpnext02:/LocalData /Net nfs rw,bg,net 0 0 ecpnext02:/LocalLibrary /Net nfs rw,bg,net 0 0 nxoc01:/usr /Net nfs rw,bg,net 0 0 niload fstab . </etc/fstab
