oranfs

What is?

This is a Remote Tea based java implementation of an NFS/MOUNT server with an Oracle backend.

This means that you can create mount points inside an Oracle database and mount it from any NFS compatible client (on any OS that has an NFS client). It is possible to mount the same mount point at the same time from more than one node. You can create soft and hard links, files, directories ... use it as a normal NFS v2 server.

Features

• Store files inside Oracle database easly

• Enables you to use Oracle Text for full text searches, or Oracle Multimedia

• HA deployment with RAC

• NFS v2 compatible

Use it

1. Download http://downloads.sourceforge.net/oranfs/oranfs.tbz

2. check createuser.sql for your env and lunch it:

   sqlplus / as sysdba @sql/createuser.sql

2. Run the schema creation script:

   sqlplus oranfs/oranfs@<connstr> @sql/schema.sql

5. Configure the database connection: open the entity-config/db.xml

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<entity xmlns="http://eforceconfig.sourceforge.net/XML/entity-config" name="db">

<parameters>

<parameter name="user" value="oranfs" />

<parameter name="password" value="oranfs" />

<parameter name="port" value="1521" />

<parameter name="host" value="localhost" />

<parameter name="sid" value="xe" />

<parameter name="implicit-caching" value="true" />

<parameter name="explicit-caching" value="true" />

<parameter name="connection-properties" type="table">

<value name="defaultRowPrefetch" value="10" />

</parameter>

</parameters>

</entity>

6. Run the server: sh runnfs.sh

7. Check portmapper registration:

   # rpcinfo -p localhost

   program vers proto port

   100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper

   100000 2 udp 111 portmapper

   100005 1 udp 52392 mountd

   100005 1 tcp 57854 mountd

   100003 2 udp 33309 nfs

   100003 2 tcp 40104 nfs

8. Create a mountpoint:

   sqlplus oranfs/oranfs@<connstr>

   SQL> exec path_util.create_mountpoint('mymnt');

9. Mount it:

   # mount -t nfs -onfsvers=2 <nfs server host>:/mymnt <a directory>
