Mount /cf/conf NFS
-
Is it possible to mount /cf/conf from NFS server?
I need a way to save the config or at least the backups to our NFS server which is doing the backups.
Pfsense 2.1
thanks

AFAIK, no, it's not easily possible. I thought we stripped out the necessary bits for being an NFS client but I may be wrong.

I assume you want to do this to backup your configs. All you need to do is setup an FTP server on the backup target and use this script:
#!/bin/bash
HOST=IP #This is the FTP servers host or IP address.
USER=USER #This is the FTP user that has access to the server.
PASS=PASS #This is the password for the FTP user.
dstamp=date +%Y-%m-%0e
cd /cf/conf
Call 1. Uses the ftp command with the -inv switches. -i turns off interactive prompting. -n Restrains FTP from attempting the aut
o-login feature. -v enables verbose and progress.
ftp -inv $HOST << EOF
Call 2. Here the login credentials are supplied by calling the variables.
user $USER $PASS
Call 3. Here you will change to the directory where you want to put or get
cd /cf/conf/
Call4. Here you will tell FTP to put or get the file.
put config.xml
chmod 777 config.xml
rename config.xml config$dstamp.xml
or
#get test.txt
bye
EOFi have this on a daily cronjob and it works very well.
