Server Ip : 10.10.10.1
Client Ip : 10.10.10.2
An NFS server on linux requires 3 services to be running in order to share files:
1.portmap
2.nfslock
3.nfs
Server Settings [10.10.10.1]:
Install nfs package using yum :
# yum install nfs-utils nfs-utils-lib portmap system-config-nfs
# chkconfig portmap on
# chkconfig nfslock on
# chkconfig nfs on
Set up your /etc/exports file with details of the directory you want to share, who is allowed to share it, and permissions.
# vim /etc/exports
/home/vishal 10.10.10.2 or 10.10.10.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash,sync)
# service nfs restart
Client Settings [10.10.10.2]:-
Install NFS packages:
# yum install nfs-utils nfs-utils-lib portmap system-config-nfs
# mkdir /home/vishal
# chmod 777 /home/vishal
Mount command:
# mount -t nfs 10.10.10.1:/home/vishal /home/vishal
Add an entry to fstab:
Paste an entry at the bottom of the file that looks something like this.
10.10.10.1:/home/vishal /home/vishal nfs noauto,rw,user 0 0
Make sure you can see the running services on the server by typing:
#rpcinfo -p 10.10.10.1 [Server Ip]
