NFS

Description

Installs and configures NFS client, or server components

Requirements

Should work on any Red Hat-family and Debian-family or Suse Sles Linux distribution.

Note:This cookbook depends on Sean O'Meara's line cookbook

Attributes

nfs['packages']
- Makes a best effort to choose NFS client packages dependent on platform
- NFS server package needs to be hardcoded for Debian/Ubuntu in the server recipe, or overridden in a role.
nfs['service']
- portmap - the portmap or rpcbind service depending on platform
- lock - the statd or nfslock service depending on platform
- server - the server component, nfs or nfs-kernel-server depending on platform
nfs['config']
- client_templates - templates to iterate through on client systems, chosen by platform
- server_template - server specific template, chosen by platform
nfs['port']
- ['statd'] = Listen port for statd, default 32765
- ['statd_out'] = Outgoing port for statd, default 32766
- ['mountd'] = Listen port for mountd, default 32767
- ['lockd'] = Listen port for lockd, default 32768
nfs['v2'] & nfs['v3']
- Set to yes or no to turn on/off NFS protocol level v2, or v3.
- Defaults to nil, deferring to the default behavior provided by running kernel.

Usage

To install the NFS components for a client system, simply add nfs to the run_list.

name "base"
description "Role applied to all systems"
run_list [ "nfs" ]

Then in an nfs_server.rb role that is applied to NFS servers:

name "nfs_server"
description "Role applied to the system that should be an NFS server."
override_attributes(
  "nfs" => {
    "packages" => [ "portmap", "nfs-common", "nfs-kernel-server" ],
    "port" => {
      "statd" => 32765,
      "statd_out" => 32766,
      "mountd" => 32767,
      "lockd" => 32768
    }
  }
)
run_list [ "nfs::server" ]

nfs_export LWRP Usage

Applications or other cookbooks can use the nfs_export LWRP to add exports:

nfs_export "/exports" do
  network '10.0.0.0/8'
  writeable false 
  sync true
  options ['no_root_squash']
end

The default parameters for the nfs_export LWRP are as follows

directory
- directory you wish to export
- defaults to resource name
network
- a CIDR, IP address, or wildcard (*)
- requires an option
writeable
- ro/rw export option
- defaults to false
sync
- synchronous/asynchronous export option
- defaults to true
anonuser
- user mapping for anonymous users
- the user's UID will be retrieved from /etc/passwd for the anonuid=x option
- defaults to nil (no mapping)
anongroup
- group mapping for anonymous users
- the group's GID will be retrieved from /etc/group for the anongid=x option
- defaults to nil (no mapping)
options
- additional export options as an array, excluding the parameterized sync/async, ro/rw options, and anoymous mappings
- defaults to root_squash

nfs::undo recipe

Does your freshly kickstarted/preseeded system come with NFS, when you didn't ask for NFS? This recipe inspired by the annoyances cookbook, will run once to remove NFS from the system. Use a knife command to remove NFS components from your system like so.

knife run_list add <node name> nfs::undo
