Ubuntu Linux NFS client configuration to mount NFS share

Ubuntu Linux NFS client configuration to mount NFS share posted by Vivek GITE [last updated: December 18,200 7]

Since I am not networking professional I was nervous about using NFS share. Desperately I wanted to access my files over network using Ubuntu NFS. Our it folks not working today due to weekend holiday.

Ubuntu NFS

After searching net, I discover that you need two packages to mount NFS share under Ubuntu Linux.

So, I did install necessary support for NFS client side I. e. Portmap and NFS-common package. Type following command to install packages:
Sudo apt-Get install Portmap nfs-common

Now mount server.mydomain.com:/Network/officedocs to/home/ME/myfiles
CD
Mkdir myfiles
Sudo Mount server.mydomain.com:/Network/officesdocs/home/ME/myfiles

Note you may need to restart abve services:
Sudo/etc/init. d/Portmap restart
Sudo/etc/init. d/nfs-common restart

How do I access my files using NFS?

Just go to mount point I. e. myfiles with CD command:
CD myfiles
Ls
Gedit file. c

May be next time I will get my hands dirty with NFS server
