client server<\/strong>, you can also share an already existing directory with NFS.<\/p>\n[root@vps ~]# mkdir \/share<\/pre>\nNow we need to make an entry in \u201c\/etc\/exports<\/strong>\u201d and\u00a0restart<\/strong>\u00a0the services to make our directory shareable in the network.<\/p>\n[root@vps ~]# echo \"\/share 192.168.0.12(rw,ro,sync, no_root_squash)\" > \/etc\/exports<\/pre>\n<\/span>NFS Options<\/span><\/h5>\nSome other options we can use in \u201c\/etc\/exports<\/strong>\u201d file for file sharing is as follows.<\/p>\n\n- ro<\/strong>: With the help of this option we can provide\u00a0read only access<\/strong>\u00a0to the shared files i.e\u00a0client<\/strong>\u00a0will only be able to\u00a0read<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- rw<\/strong>: This option allows the\u00a0client server<\/strong>\u00a0to both\u00a0read<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0write<\/strong>\u00a0access within the shared directory.<\/li>\n
- sync<\/strong>: Sync confirms requests to the shared directory only once the\u00a0changes<\/strong>\u00a0have been committed.<\/li>\n
- no_subtree_check<\/strong>: This option prevents the\u00a0subtree<\/strong>\u00a0checking. When a shared directory is the subdirectory of a larger file system,\u00a0nfs<\/strong>\u00a0performs scans of every directory above it, in order to verify its permissions and details. Disabling the\u00a0subtree<\/strong>\u00a0check may increase the reliability of\u00a0NFS<\/strong>, but reduce\u00a0security<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- no_root_squash<\/strong>: This phrase allows\u00a0root<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0connect<\/strong>\u00a0to the designated directory.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
<\/span>Setting Up the NFS Client<\/span><\/h3>\nAfter configuring the\u00a0NFS<\/strong>\u00a0server, we need to\u00a0mount<\/strong>\u00a0that shared directory or partition in the\u00a0client<\/strong>\u00a0server.<\/p>\n<\/span>Mount Shared Directories on NFS Client<\/span><\/h5>\nNow at the\u00a0NFS client<\/strong>\u00a0end, we need to\u00a0mount<\/strong>\u00a0that directory in our server to access it locally. To do so, first we need to find out that shares available on the remote server or NFS Server.<\/p>\n[root@vps ~]# showmount -e 103.14.121.87\r\nExport list for 103.14.121.87:\r\n\/share 192.168.0.12<\/pre>\nTo\u00a0mount<\/strong>\u00a0that shared\u00a0NFS<\/strong>\u00a0directory we can use following mount command.<\/p>\n[root@vps ~]# mount -t nfs 103.14.x.x:\/share \/mnt<\/pre>\nThe above mount command mounted the\u00a0nfs shared directory<\/strong>\u00a0on to\u00a0nfs client<\/strong>\u00a0temporarily, to mount an NFS directory\u00a0permanently<\/strong>\u00a0on your system across the\u00a0reboots<\/strong>, we need to make an entry in \u201c\/etc\/fstab<\/strong>\u201c.<\/p>\n[root@vps ~]# vi \/etc\/fstab<\/pre>\nAdd the following new line as shown below.<\/p>\n
