NFS time based access restrictions

[Darryl Moore]

Hi guys.

I am needing to place time based access restrictions on NFS mounts. I
figured I would just create a cron job on the server. Change the
/etc/exports file and restart the server when the access restrictions
need to take effect.

Unfortunately it is only one exported directory that I need to disable,
while all the other mounts from the same server still need to be accessible.

Does any one have thoughts about whether this is the best way to do this
or not? The other alternative I guess is to put the cron job on the
various clients and have them umount the NFS directory. Of course I
might run into issues if there are files open. Then the umount could fail.

The NFS exports are read only.

I'd love to hear anybody elses opinions if you want to offer it.

Thanks,
darryl
