Command: # rpm-ivhnf

1. Check whether the nfs-utils installation package is installed,
Command: # rpm-q nfs-utils

Show nfs-utils-1.0.9-24.el5 as installed

2. If the nfs-utils installation package is not installed, find and install the nfs-utils installation package from the installation disc of the corresponding Linux operating system version.
Command: # rpm-ivh nfs-utils-1.0.9-24.el5.i386.rpm

/Home: directory that allows access by other computers

192.168.5. *:Client IP Address

Rw: read/write

Sync: Synchronous write disk (async: data will be saved in the memory first, rather than directly written to the hard disk)

No_root_squash: indicates that the root user of the client has the write permission on the directory.

4. Start the NFS server
Command: #/etc/init. d/nfs restart

Shown below as successful

Shutting down NFS quotas: [OK]

Shutting down NFS services: [OK]

Staring NFS serviecs: [OK]

Staring NFS quotas: [OK]

Staring NFS daemon: [OK]

5. Use the mount command to mount the shared directory on the NFS server.

 Command: # mount-t nfs 192.168.5.160:/home/mnt

The IP address of my VM is 192.168.5.160.

The mounted local/mnt directory is the same as the local/home directory.

/Home/smb is mounted to the/mnt directory.

You can mount yourself to demonstrate the preceding settings.

Note: NFS servers are generally used for mounting between two different Linux Hosts.
