nfsconf - Query various NFS configuration settings
nfsconf --dump [-v|--verbose] [-f|--file infile.conf] [outfile] nfsconf --entry [--arg subsection] section tag nfsconf --get [-v|--verbose] [-f|--file infile.conf] [-a|--arg subsection] section tag nfsconf --isset [-v|--verbose] [-f|--file infile.conf] [-a|--arg subsection] section tag nfsconf --set [-v|--verbose] [-m|--modified Modified by text] [-f|--file infile.conf] [-a|--arg subsection] section tag value nfsconf --unset [-v|--verbose] [-f|--file infile.conf] [-a|--arg subsection] section tag
The nfsconf command can be used to test for and retrieve configuration settings from a range of nfs-utils configuration files. Modes The following modes are available: -d, --dump Output an alphabetically sorted dump of the current configuration in conf file format. Accepts an optional filename in which to write the output. -e, --entry retrieve the config entry rather than its current expanded value -i, --isset Test if a specific tag has a value set. -g, --get Output the current value of the specified tag. -s, --set Update or Add a tag and value to the config file in a specified section, creating the tag, section, and file if necessary. If the section is defined as '#' then a comment is appended to the file. If a comment is set with a tag name then any exiting tagged comment with a matching name is replaced. -u, --unset Remove the specified tag and its value from the config file.
Options valid in all modes -v, --verbose Increase verbosity and print debugging information. -f, --file infile Select a different config file to operate upon, default is /etc/nfs.conf Options only valid in --entry and --get and --isset modes. -a, --arg subsection Select a specific sub-section Options only valid in --set mode. -m, --modified "Modified by nfsconf" Set the text on the Modified date comment in the file. Set to empty to remove.
--isset mode In this mode the command will return success (0) if the selected tag has a value, any other exit code indicates the value is not set, or some other error has occurred. all other modes Success is indicated by an exit status of zero, any other status indicates an error. Error messages are output on stderr, and increasing verbosity will give more detailed explanations if any are available.
nfsconf -v --dump --file /tmp/testconf.conf sorted.conf Check a new config file for syntax errors and output a sorted version for ease of comparison with existing settings. if ! nfsconf --isset gssd preferred-realm ; then echo 'No preferred realm configured for gss'; fi The tool allows for easy testing of configuration values from shell scripts, here we test if a specific value has been set. nfsconf --file /etc/nfsmount.conf --get --arg /home MountPoint background Show default value for background option for NFS mounts of the /home path. nfsconf --file /etc/nfs.conf --set nfsd debug 1 Enable debugging in nfsd
