How to mount a DVD on a remote system to a local directory
On the system with the DVD drive (i.e. remote system):
1. Mount the DVD.
% mount /dev/dsk/xxx /mnt/dvdrom
2. Edit the /etc/exports file. DVDs must be mounted read only ('ro'), and if required, can give
root permission to other machines mounting the filesystem
("root=<machine_foo:machine_bar:machine_baz>"). Add a line to /etc/exports:
%
/mnt/dvdrom -ro,root=<local_system>
3. Export the file system, using all the directives found in /etc/exports
% exportfs -a
4. Check to be sure that the line you added is actually exported.
%
exportfs
On the local machine:
5. Mount the DVD to an existing directory.
% /etc/mount <remote_system>:/mnt/dvdrom /mnt/dvdrom
Note:
You cannot be in the /mnt/dvdrom directory when you try to mount. You
will get a file busy error.
