Install the NFS server [root @ localhost] # If rpm-q nfs-utils is not installed, find the nfs-utils installation package from the installation disc of the corresponding Linux operating system. For example: [root @ localhost] # rpm-ivh nfs-utils-1.0.9-24.el5.i386.rpm NFS configuration [root @ localhost] # vi/etc/exports add to the directory and access permission allowed by other computers example: /home 192.169.2. * (rw, sync, no_root_squash) 1./home: Directory 2 and 192.169.2 that can be accessed by other computers. *: Client IP addresses allowed to access the directory 3. Rw: readable and writable 4. Sync: Synchronous write disk (async: data will be saved in the memory first, rather than directly written to the hard disk) 5. no_root_squash: indicates that the root user of the client has the write permission for the directory. 1.
