Mounting a Remote drive

[lsemmens]

I occasionally make a stupid error of attempting to access a drive on another of my machines without first mounting it. Is there any method that I can remotely mount said drive without actually going to that computer? (I know, I can setup auto mount so the drives mount at boot time but, occasionally I forget to do that and, of course, it is not then visible until I fix that)

I use NFS between my machines and alias nm to mount the network drive, and umn to unmount it.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

# Mount server share from client
sudo mount -o vers=3 192.168.20.101:/media/boot/HWRAID-5EE-S/Working /media/boot/HWRAID-5EE-S

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

# Unmount network share
sudo umount /media/boot/HWRAID-5EE-S/

This requires the server to mount the drive to NFS when it boots.

Thanks Catweasel, I shall try that when I return home on Wednesday. I'm at son's place helping with home schooling at the moment.
