1. I would imagine the syntax in /etc/fstab would be this: systemname:/path/to/data /mountpoint nfs defaults 0 0
2. There's a thread that talks about this, with various ways of doing it at http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvtype?LINUX-VM.19584. One thing that might be missing from it is Alan Cox's suggestion on adding a "S" parameter to the tar command to correctly handle any sparse files that might be in the file system. 3. If you take the default of "cdl" on dasdfmt, you need to run fdasd before mke2fs.

To make NFS mounts "permanent" do I put entries in /etc/fstab? Example? 2. What do I have to do to move /home to a separate filesystem? 3. Yesterday on my Red Hat 7.2 system, I tried these two commands on a disk drive to format and partition. dasdfmt -b 4096 /dev/dasdb mke2fs -b 4096 /dev/dasdb1 Are they valid for RH 7.2 ...because when I entered the mke2fs command I received a msg indicating that the disk was empty...or something along those lines. TIA Dave
