NFS stands for Network File System, and it is used to share an entire filesystem via a network. First in order to setup NFS, you will need to have your network already up and running. See our collection of Internet Guides to help you with that. You will also need to know how to recompile your kernel. For that see our Kernel Setup Guide. You also might want to take a peek at the NFS-HOWTO and finally, you will need to have root access to the box you are setting up nfs on.

Kernel Configuration
After you run make menuconfig or whatever it is that you use to configure the kernel, you will need to include the following items:
Under the "Code maturity level options --->" you need to have the following enabled:
[*] Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers
Under the "Filesystems --->" menu, go into the "Network File Systems --->" submenu at the bottom of the screen. In here you need the following:
<*> Coda filesystem support (advanced network fs) <*> NFS filesystem support <*> NFS server support
In the "Networking options --->" menu you must have this enabled:
[*] IP: kernel level autoconfiguration [*] BOOTP support (NEW)
Configuration Files
The Exports file (/etc/exports) is one of the most important files in nfs. It will tell the nfs client what pc is allowed to see what on your box and what permissions that particular box will have to that directory. Here is a a line from my /etc/exports file.
/ 192.168.0.0/24(rw).
That line is saying that everything on my 192.168 network can mount my root directory with write permissions. You can specify that box you want to have access to a directory by using it's ip, the entire network's submask, or it's host name. For example:
/ 192.168.0.2(rw)
or
/ yourclientshostname(rw)
If you use your clients hostname, you must put it in /etc/hosts. Everytime you make a change to /etc/exports you must run the following command to update nfs:
/usr/sbin/exportfs -a
How to mount a nfs drive. Fstab or Console command. I recommend putting it in /etc/fstab it's alot easier when you got alot of nfs mounts. A typical nfs entry looks like this.
192.168.0.1:/ /x2xtreme nfs rsize=1024,wsize=1024,noauto 0 0 192.168.0.1:/tmp /x2xtreme nfs rsize=1024,wsize=1024,noauto 0 0
If you have subdir different partitions, you must add those to /etc/exports and /etc/fstab. Like if /usr is on a different partition then it must be add added as another entry in to /etc/exports and to /etc/fstab. To mount a nfs drive from console without using fstab. You would type mount -o rw,(or ro) servername:/exportedirectory /dirtomountonyourlocalbox. You don't have to add a /etc/fstab entry, buts it's cool for a shortcut because you can specify the mount dir and options, and only have to type mount /boxhostname or whatever.
The NFS daemons reside in /etc/rc.d/init.d on Red Hat Linux and in /etc/init.d/ on Debian GNU/Linux. You need to make sure that portmap and NFS are both running and that they startup without any errors. To restart NFS just run /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs restart (in Red Hat) or /etc/init.d/nfs restart (in Debian). To restart portmap just execute /etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap restart (Red Hat) or /etc/init.d/portmap restart (Debian). Please note that you have to start portmap before NFS.
Example Files
The following are some example files to help you get started:
/etc/hosts
[x2xtreme@x2xtreme x2xtreme]$ cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.1 x2xtreme.dynip.com x2xtreme.dynip.com server 192.168.0.2 x2x 192.168.0.3 kimy 192.168.0.4 xwin
/etc/fstab
[x2xtreme@x2xtreme x2xtreme]$ cat /etc/fstab /dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat noauto 0 0 /dev/hdb1 /backup ext2 defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0 192.168.0.2:/ /x2x nfs rsize=1024,wsize=1024,noauto 0 0 192.168.0.2:/mnt/cdrom /x2x/mnt/cdrom nfs rsize=1024,wsize=1024,noauto 0 0 192.168.0.2:/usr /x2x/usr nfs rsize=1024,wsize=1024,noauto 0 0 192.168.0.2:/home /x2x/home nfs rsize=1024,wsize=1024,noauto 0 0 192.168.0.2:/mnt/floppy /x2x/mnt/floppy nfs rsize=1024,wsize=1024,noauto 0 0 192.168.0.2:/fat /x2x/fat nfs rsize=1024,wsize=1024,noauto 0 0 192.168.0.2:/downloads /x2x/downloads nfs rsize=1024,wsize=1024,noauto 0 0 192.168.0.2:/mnt/mp3s /x2x/mnt/mp3s nfs rsize=1024,wsize=1024,noauto 0 0 192.168.0.2:/mnt/fat /x2x/mnt/fat nfs rsize=1024,wsize=1024,noauto 0 0 192.168.0.2:/backup /x2x/backup nfs rsize=1024,wsize=1024,noauto 0 0 192.168.0.2:/mnt/fat2 /x2x/mnt/fat2 nfs rsize=1024,wsize=1024,noauto 0 0 192.168.0.2:/mnt/cdrom2 /x2x/mnt/cdrom2 nfs rsize=1024,wsize=1024,noauto 0 0 [x2xtreme@x2xtreme x2xtreme]$
/etc/exports
[x2xtreme@x2xtreme x2xtreme]$ cat /etc/exports / 192.168.0.0/24(rw) /mnt/cdrom 192.168.0.0/24(ro) /mnt/floppy 192.168.0.0/24(rw) /backup 192.168.0.0/24(rw) /mp3s 192.168.0.0/24(rw) [x2xtreme@x2xtreme x2xtreme]$
TroubleShooting
If you are getting permission denied when you try to mount the nfs export, check to make sure that that machine is in /etc/hosts on the box that you are trying to mount it from.
If you are getting a error saying function not inplemented when running /usr/sbin/exportfs -a, then you are missing something in your kernel in the nfs part. You should build the NFS options as links (*) in your kernel and not as modules (M).
If the machine you are trying to mount crashes when you try to mount the root directory then you're missing something that should have been compiled into your kernel.
Please note that the exports file is very sensitive in regards to syntax/formatting. If you have a space between the allowed host(s) or IPs like this:
/nfs/dir somehost.box.com (rw)
You will not be able to access the resource in read write mode. The only access you will get is read. Make sure there is no space there so that the entries look like this:
/nfs/dir somehost.box.com(rw)
