Fast tutek NFS server on Ubuntu: 1. Install Ubuntu server version, change IP,GW,DNS . 2.To check the NFS server is not installed, you can do... # dpkg -l | grep nfs-kernel-server 3. Install the required packages... # apt-get install nfs-kernel-server 4. For easier maintenance we will isolate all NFS exports in single directory, where the real directories will be mounted with the --bind option. Let's say we want to export our users' home directories in /home/users. First we create the export filesystem: # mkdir -p /home/backup tips: /home/users is a typical path aftre installed is /home/(The name you entered) (below client NFS only) 5.It's important that /export and /home/backup have 777(chmod 777 dir_name) permissions as we will be accessing the NFS share from the client without LDAP/NIS authentication. This will not apply if using authentication (see below). Now mount the real users directory with: # mount --bind /home/backup /export/backup 5a. To save us from retyping this after every reboot we add the following line to /etc/fstab /home/backup none bind 0 0 (end client NFS config) 6. Add to new line in /home/exports /home/backup (rw,root_squash,subtree_check) and next two command sudo exportfs -a sudo service nfs-kernel-server start 7. Add to NFS client IP -> what you changed shared directory expl. /home/backup Xeo 2o17
