exports

Access control for hosts

On each node, the file /opt/mapr/conf/exports lists the clusters and mount points available to mount with NFS.

Specify access control for hosts with a space-separated list of hosts, appending (rw) for read-write or (ro) for read-only access after each host. To specify a default access for all hosts not otherwise specified, add (rw) or (ro) after a space at the end of a line. The exports file follows the same semantics as a standard UNIX exports table. The following export options are supported:

Export option	Definition
ro	Provides read-only access.
rw	Provides read-write access.
root_squash	Squashes root privileges for remote users. For example, you can use: `/mapr (rw,root_squash)` This entry prevents the `/mapr` directory from being written to by the root user on remote hosts.
no_root_squash	Turns off root squashing for remote users.
all_squash	Squashes every remote user, including root.
anonuid, anongid	Specifies user and group IDs to use with remote users from a particular host.

Restricting clusters to specific hosts

To restrict access to a specific export path to particular hosts, use the following format:

<Path> <space-separated list of hosts and access rights>

For example, the line /mapr/cluster1 host01(rw) host02(ro) restricts read-write access to the cluster in /mapr/cluster1 to host host01, and restricts read-only access to host host02. No other hosts have access.

NOTE After making changes to this file, you do not have to restart the NFS server. You can run a maprcli command to refresh the exports definition without a restart. See nfsmgmt refresh exports.

Sample exports file

# Sample Exports file

# for /mapr exports
# <Path> <exports_control>

#access_control -> order is specific to default
# list the hosts before specifying a default for all
#  host01(ro) host02(ro) host03(ro) (rw)
#  enforces ro for a.b.c.d & 1.2.3.4 and everybody else is rw

# special path to export clusters in mapr-clusters.conf. To disable exporting,
# comment it out. to restrict access use the exports_control
#
/mapr (rw)

#to export only certain clusters, comment out the /mapr & uncomment.
# Note: this will cause /mapr to be unexported
#/mapr/clustername (rw)

#to export /mapr only to certain hosts (using exports_control)
#/mapr a.b.c.d(rw) e.f.g.h(ro)

# export /mapr/cluster1 rw to a.b.c.d & ro to e.f.g.h (denied for others)
#/mapr/cluster1 a.b.c.d(rw) e.f.g.h(ro)

# export /mapr/cluster2 only to e.f.g.h (denied for others)
#/mapr/cluster2 e.f.g.h(rw)

# export /mapr/cluster3 rw to e.f.g.h & ro to others
#/mapr/cluster2 e.f.g.h(rw) (ro)
