Mount a linux server dir to another linux server directory

Say we have 2 servers named as

server1                 (192.168.1.45)

server2                 (192.168.1170)

we want to mount a directory of 192.168.1.45 on the .170 server

Step1.

install nfs server on server1 (.45)

#yum install nfs-utils nfs4-acl-tools portmap

#chkconfig nfs on

Step2.

Share the directory on server1(.45)

#vim /etc/exports

/image1 192.168.1.170(rw)

save the file {it will give server2 (.170) read write access}

# exportfs -avr

Step3.

Mounting the /image1 directory on the server2

you need to create a directory on server2 where you want to mount the directory from server1

#mkdir /image1

#vim /etc/fstab

192.168.1.45:/image1     /image1 nfs hard,intr 0 0

save and close the  file

#mount -t nfs -a

the above command will mount the server1 shared directory to the server2 directory(/image1).

Remove directory from CVS

CVS doesn't really keep directories under version control. If you want to remove a directory from a project, you first remove all the files in it, then use update -P to remove the directory from the working directory.

CVS checkout and update will always check out empty directories; that's just the way CVS is built. Do an update with "-P" -- "prune" -- to remove empty directories:

cvs update -dP

(Adding "-d" will update new directories that have appeared since your last update; otherwise, CVS will ignore them.)

Cvs tends to work on a two phase approach regarding directories that's why there is a -P option for many cvs commands to "Prune empty directories".

When this has happened, e.g. want to rename a directory I've just added, I delete the directory, delete the entry for the directory in the CVS/Entries file, it'll be a line perpended with a "D".

If I've committed, I make sure my current working area that contains the empty directory/ies is all checked in. Then I blow away the part of the work area that I have added the directories to.
Ex.

/mySandbox/Project_to_remove/etc_etc
/mySandbox/Project_to_remove/emptyDir

I make sure everything is up to date in both directories containing the stuff I want to keep. I then blow away Project_to_remove from within mySandbox.
Going back and checking out the same work area, e.g. Project_to_remove will give me the work area without the empty dirs.
Or just leave everything as is and use the -P option to get CVS check everything out (or update everything) then prune out the empty dirs.

Renaming Directories

checkout the project, make the changes on the local working copy, delete the CVS project in the repository and import the changed project again.
