Summary:
The network file system (nfs) can be used and configured to share a server
disk with a client. For example, a server with the file system /home
can be made available as /home on the client server, given that the
host server is running. Additionally, this file system can be renamed on the client,
however this is generally not good practice and using the same name is recommended.
Permissions can also be set on the server, restricting read, write, execute
on the client server as needed.
