vhe_list(4)

NAME

vhe_list − information file for the Virtual Home Environment

DESCRIPTION

/etc/vhe_list is an ASCII file that contains the information needed to configure a group of machines together with the Virtual Home Environment (VHE). These machines are connected using the Network File System (NFS). The information from vhe_list is used by the script vhe_mounter.

An entry in vhe_list contains the following information:

• Host name of a machine exporting a file system.

• Name of the file system to be mounted by NFS.

• Name of the directory that acts as the mount point.

• Mount options for the NFS mount (this is optional).

For every file system that is to be available (exported) for NFS mounting for VHE, there is an entry in the vhe_list file. Blank lines, lines of white spaces, or lines beginning with the # character are ignored.

EXAMPLES

Consider two machines named high and low, each to be connected with VHE. Machine high is exporting the file system / to be mounted on directory /vhe/high. Machine low is exporting the file system / to be mounted on directory /vhe/low and the file system /users to be mounted on directory /vhe/low/users using the NFS mount options of timeo=10,wsize=4096. For this situation, the contents of the vhe_list file would resemble the following:

high     /          /vhe/high
low      /          /vhe/low           timeo=10,wsize=4096
low      /users     /vhe/low/users     timeo=10,wsize=4096
# A comment line

Mount options must be separated by commas, and must contain no spaces. Mount options are the same as those used in the mount command (see mount(1M)).
