How to install NFS on Redhat Or Fedora

A Network File System (NFS) allows remote hosts to mount file systems over a network and interact with those file systems as though they are mounted locally. This enables system administrators to consolidate resources onto centralized servers on the network.

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]
