Accessing NFS and Samba Shares

If you already created a Network File System (NFS) or Windows Server Message Block (SMB, or Samba) share for use with the compute instance, you can access the share using the NFS or Samba protocols.

For information about creating an NFS or Samba share for use with a compute instance, see Creating NFS Shares and Creating SMB Shares. Those guides also link to the relevant Managing the Network File System and Managing Samba guides for the chosen Oracle Linux version.

Accessing NFS Shares

Follow the instructions in the relevant Managing the Network File System guide for the Oracle Linux image version, or do the following:

  1. If it's not yet on the compute instance, install the nfs-utils package:

    sudo dnf install nfs-utils

  2. Mount the export.

    For example: 

    sudo mount instance_ip:share_path destination_path
Accessing Samba Shares

Follow the instructions in the relevant Managing Samba guide to install the samba-client and cifs-utils packages and mount the export.
