Enabling NFS Server Logging
If neither the NFS server nor NFS Logging Daemon is running, you can
start NFS using the
/etc/init.d/nfs.server start
command.
Logging is enabled on a per-share (file system/directory) basis, by adding the
-o log
option to the
share(1M)
command associated with the share. If the
share is currently shared, you must unshare it first. Then modify the
share
command associated with the share in the
/etc/dfs/dfstab
file (and execute
shareall
) or enter it at the command line.
