Description :
Network File System - why use it?
You want to share directories and files between computers on your network
but don\'t want to use SAMBA or transfer them via FTP. Also, you can mount
directories with NFS, so they appear as local files/folders. NFS also has
the advantage of not needing special programs to move files back and forth.
Default /etc/exports,fstab; 127.x.x Change to IP, Hostname or Domain name.
rpc_pipefs /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs defaults 0 0
nfsd /proc/fs/nfsd nfsd defaults 0 0
127.0.0.1:/home/nfs /mnt/nfs0 nfs rw,async 0 0
< snip> from /home/nfs/nfs-utils.txt:
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
aLinux Network File System. (NFS)
===================================================================================================
Test file without any real purpose. You can populate/remove from the default: /home/nfs; directory.
===================================================================================================
1. This file is part of the nfs-utils rpm. By default, a local share in /home/nfs -> /mnt/nfs0; has
been created with read/write user permission(s).
To remove, edit and/or add shares - edit /etc/exports; change the default 127.0.0.1 -> locahost
to a real IP address for remote access.
2. Run \'exportfs -rav\' (after adding a share(s) which will also update the proc nfsd and /var/lib/nfs/*).
You should now be (\'mount\' ready to the world!) when using the default mount options. Else change
the permissions to a more secure NFS, then issue a \'mount -a\' which is our default used in aLinux to
have your share(s) start automatically, on each \'boot - computer (restart)\', located in /etc/fstab;.
(a) 1. Testing - Lets create some mount-points, e.g. /mnt/nfs{1,2,3}; i.e., mkdir -p /mnt/nfs1
2. Show /etc/fstab; where the new NFS mount point(s) is by editing: /etc/fstab.
3. \'exportfs -rav\' - updates the system.
4. \'mount -a\' or \'pmount /mnt/nfs1\', etc. or even \'mount 127.0.0.1:/home/nfs /mnt/nfs0\' will work.
Test from other boxes as well.

Question: Why use NFS?, why not ftpmount or SAMBA or something else?
Answer: NSF uses less overhead, and is more convenient then using
SAMBA or FTP, plus NFS is active and very well documented.
