nfs howto
Nfs allows you to remotely mount a directory so it acts like it’s local, and also make it mount the same place every time you boot up. It’s really handy, pretty simple and quite proven in the field.
nfs howto
first set up the server
apt-get install nfs-kernel-server portmap vi /etc/exports /folder/you/want/your/remote/box/to/see 192.168.1.0/24(rw,root_squash,subtree_check)) add blank line after last one chown nobody:nogroup /folder/you/want/your/remote/box/to/see echo "portmap: 192.168.2." >> /etc/hosts.allow /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart exportfs -ra exportfs |
if everything worked, you should see an entry like
/folder/you/want/your/remote/box/to/see 192.168.1.0/24 |
now mount the folder on your client like:
su apt-get install nfs-common mount -t nfs 192.168.1.5:/folder/you/want/your/remote/box/to/see /place/where/you/want/it/mounted/locally mount |
if things went well, you should see an entry like:
192.168.1.5:/ on /place/where/you/mounted/it/locally type nfs (rw,addr=192.168.1.5) |
if you want to make it mount automatically every time you boot the client, add a line to /etc/fstab like:
vi /etc/fstab 192.168.5.115:/folder/you/mounted/on/the/server /place/where/you/want/it/locally nfs _netdev,auto 0 0 mount /place/where/you/want/it/locally mount you should see something that starts with 192.168.1.5:/folder/blah on /local/blah type nfs4 (rw,... |
the _netdev waits until your network comes up before mounting it, the “auto” waits until your system boots up before mounting.
