Here’s a quick post on how to build and setup NFS server.
Fedora 9: Quick NFS Server HowTo
NFS Server Configuration
1. Download and install NFS rpm package using yum
# yum -y install nfs-utils rpcbind
If you have an earlier Fedora versions
# yum -y intall nfs-utils portmap
2. Prepare and modify /etc/exports for sharing files, that would similar to as shown below
/home/NFS-files 192.168.100.0/24(ro,sync)
/home/NFS-share */26(rw,sync)
/ISO 192.168.100.0/24(ro,sync)
Save and exit.
Legend:
rw = for read/write access
ro = for read only access
* = allow any source request
/24 , /26 = IP network subnet
Create NFS folder and populate your NFS files you wish to share
# mkdir /home/NFS-files /home/NFS-share /ISO
# cp your-files /home/NFS-files
3. Start your NFS service
# service nfs start
# service rpcbind start
For earlier Fedora versions
# service portmap start
# service nfs start
If you wish to modify any other non-default NFS diretives, modify /etc/sysconfig/nfs .
To restart NFS service
# service nfs restart
# service rpcbind restart
For earlier Fedora versions, instead of rpcbind,
# service portmap restart
To monitor NFS stats
The nfsstat command displays statistical information about RPC calls.
# nfsstats
# nfsstats -o net
Further NFSman page
# man exports
