Service Name
NetFS
Description
NetFS is a boot-time script used to mount or unmount Network File System (NFS), Samba (SMB/CIFS), and Netware (NCP) file systems. The script is run once at boot time to scan for network-related file system mounts: nfs, smb, cifs, or ncp types.
Service administration
To view the options available for administrating the netfs service use the service command without any options.
# service netfs
Usage: /etc/init.d/netfs {start|stop|restart|reload|status} The chkconfig tool can be used to determine or set the levels of startup.
# /sbin/chkconfig --list netfs netfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
The netfs script is executed only if the networking subsystem is enabled.
umount all NFS/CIFS/SMB filesystems using NetFS service
NetFS provides a simple way to unmount all networked file systems while leaving all local networking services. For example to umount all the network filesystems mounted stop the NetFS service.
# service netfs stop
To view the status of the network mount points use the below command:
# service netfs status Configured NFS mountpoints: /nfs_data Active NFS mountpoints: /nfs_data
