TCP/IP Configuration Notebook Online Help
To start the NFSSTART command file automatically when TCP/IP is started,
select the Autostart tab, select NFSSTART in the
Autostarted Services list box, and check the Autostart Service box under
Autostart Options.
If you choose to start NFSSTART in an OS/2 window foreground session, you
can check the Minimized box to minimize the OS/2 window.
NFSSTART starts the NFS client control program, NFSCTL.EXE, which
mounts any remote NFS servers specified in the NFSTAB file to the local file
system.
Additionally, NFSSTART verifies the HOSTNAME environment variable,
validates parameters, and removes mounts remaining from abnormal termination
of the control program.
If you choose to automatically start this command file, you can also
specify the NFSSTART parameters in the Parameters
field.
Uncheck the Autostart Service box to disable the automatic starting of
NFSSTART when TCP/IP is started.
If you choose to automatically start NFSSTART, TCP/IP can also process the
following command parameters when specified from the Autostart tab:
- etc_dir
- Specified the base directory for the NFSTAB file. If you do not
specify this parameter, the value of the ETC environment variable is
used.
- -bn
- Sets the transfer buffer size for read and write requests. This
number must not exceed 8192. The default value is 8192.
- -rn
- Sets the number of remote procedure call (RPC) retries that the OS/2 NFS
Client sends to the server before ending the access attempt. The
default value is 5.
- -tn
- Sets the timeout value (in seconds) for an RPC request. The default
value is 1.
- -sn
- Defines the number of Biods that are to be started by NFSCTL, the OS/2 NFS
client control program. The Biods are a tool to allow parallel reads
and writes to a file. The default value is 4.
- -p
- Requests that the OS/2 NFS Client control program use the Biods for both
reading and writing.
- -w
- Specifies that the OS/2 NFS Client control program use the Biods for
reading only. The -w parameter is used with any servers that do not
support parallel writes to a file. -w is the default.
- -c
- Respects case when performing file name comparisons. If you do not
specify this parameter and if the first query fails, the OS/2 NFS Client will
try the name in uppercase. If this attempt also fails, the OS/2 NFS
Client will try the name in lowercase.
- -z
- Respects file name case when creating files and directories. If you
do not specify parameter, files and directories will be created in
lowercase.
- -i
- Specifies that the OS/2 NFS Client does serial read/write requests instead
of parallel read/write requests. This is equivalent to specifying the
-s0 parameter.
