Yes, that's right. I have a fileserver at home that has an NFS share defined;
this share is used by various machines on my home network, and by the laptop
when i have the laptop at home. As said elsewhere in thread, i mount the share
on
the laptop by saying
$ sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.5:/volume1/DiskStation /mnt/RemoteDisk
where 192.168.1.5 is the address of the fileserver, and /volume1/DiskStation is
the
NFS share.
When im leaving home and the laptop doesnt need access to this, i (try to)
unmount
the share so i can suspend the laptop and leave.
Does that help?
