Mount NFS

This file describe a basic config for NFS mount on a server/client.

Server (store datas) - server.myserver.com

Share a datas folder : /home/ubuntu/documents/datas

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install language-pack-fr
$ sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server
$ sudo service nfs-kernel-server start

$ vim /etc/exports

# /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported
#		to NFS clients.  See exports(5).
#
# Example for NFSv2 and NFSv3:
# /srv/homes       hostname1(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) hostname2(ro,sync,no_subtree_check)
#
# Example for NFSv4:
# /srv/nfs4        gss/krb5i(rw,sync,fsid=0,crossmnt,no_subtree_check)
# /srv/nfs4/homes  gss/krb5i(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
#

/home/ubuntu/documents/datas client.myserver.com(rw,sync,subtree_check)

$ sudo service nfs-kernel-server reload
$ sudo exportfs -av

Client (consume datas) - client.myserver.com

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install language-pack-ft
$ sudo apt-get install nfs-common

$ mkdir /home/ubuntu/mount1
$ sudo mount server.myserver.com:/home/ubuntu/documents/datas/ /home/ubuntu/mount1
