====== NFS ======

===== Network File Share =====
==== Install on Server ====
 apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common portmap

==== Install on Client ====
 apt-get install nfs-common portmap

==== Config on the server: ====
 vi /etc/exports
 /home 195.12.32.2(rw,no_root_squash) www.first.com(ro)
 /usr 195.12.32.2/24(ro,insecure)
 
 exportfs -a   <nowiki>//</nowiki>read in /etc/exports file

==== Config on the Client: ====
 vi /etc/fstab
 195.12.32.1:/home /home nfs rw,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,hard,intr,async,nodev,nosuid 0 0
 195.12.32.2:/usr /usr nfs ro,rsize=8192,hard,intr,nfsvers=3,tcp,noatime,nodev,async 0 0
 
 nfs.host.com:/home             /home   nfs     hard,intr,rsize=16384,wsize=16384,posix,tcp 0 2
 <nowiki>//</nowiki>the above is the line used on compsoc nfs. async is default!

To mount a nfs drive with the options in /etc/fstab:
 mount /home
 <nowiki>//</nowiki>or mount /nfsname
 <nowiki>//</nowiki>or better yet - after making a change to /etc/fstab etc.:
 mount -oremount /home

===== Tips =====
 showmount -e ip_or_server_name
 #shows what mounts a server is exporting.
