[GRASS-user] mounting a read-only PERMANENT from remote server
Hello, I know that people work with entire GISDBASES on remote server, often via NFS, but does anyone have experience with mounting only one mapset from a remote server into a location on the local machine ?

I am trying to figure out the best way to allow students to work on VHR-imagery in computer labs where their own sessions are limited in terms of disk space and where the file server is normally read-only for students.

Yes, we have. What is the specific question? :) Any specific hints about possible difficulties ? As long as you have a stable network connection, no issues. I am trying to figure out the best way to allow students to work on VHR-imagery in computer labs where their own sessions are limited in terms of disk space and where the file server is normally read-only for students. ok, so you may set it up like this: (NFS)Server: /storage/grassdata/various locations -- export /storage/grassdata/ as read-only NFS share Put all data into the PERMANENT mapset. Student machine(s): # as root, one time needed (add to /etc/fstab): mkdir -p /storage/grassdata/ mount via NFS /storage/grassdata/ into /storage/grassdata/ # as user: mkdir $USER/grassdata mkdir $USER/grassdata/location1 ln -s /storage/grassdata//location1/PERMANENT $USER/grassdata/location1/ now start GRASS with $USER/grassdata/ and location1 and create a new user mapset within it. That will stay locally while PERMANENT comes from the NFS server in read-only. Markus ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
