Links

Note

For NFS to work correctly on a small network, the user and group ID’s must match the ID’s on the server. See the Users notes for details on how to change user and group ID’s.

Configuration

Edit the NFS configuration in:

/etc/exports

Here is a sample configuration:

/export/srv            192.168.1.0/24(sync,secure,subtree_check,rw,hide)

Here are some of the options:

sync                 reply after changes have been committed to storage.
secure               requests must originate on a port less than 1024.
subtree_check        verify requested file is in exported tree.
rw                   allow both read and write requests on this volume.
hide                 do not reveal nested directories.

After changing the configuration, export the directories:
```
exportfs -a
```

Sample

On the server, create the folder you want to share:
```
/tmp/nfstest
```

On the server, add the share to /etc/exports :

/tmp/nfstest    *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)

From the client, mount the share:

cd /tmp
mkdir nfstest
mount saasjspdev1:/tmp/nfstest /tmp/nfstest

To auto mount the share on restart, add the mount point to /etc/fstab on the client:

saasjspdev1:/tmp/nfstest    /tmp/nfstest    nfs     defaults    0    0
