2 Export directory to NFS
/etc/exportfs is written exported directories to NFS.
> cat /etc/exports<path> <ipaddr>(<option>)
Update exported directories to NFS.
> sudo exportfs -ra
2.1 Exported directory for nfsroot
- no_root_squash will use UID and GID of client for file access by client.
- If UID and GID is shared by LDAP, use no_root_squash.
- If using nfsroot for booting root filesystem, use no_root_squash.
- subtree_check checks if file access by client is inside exported directory. no_subtree_check disable this check for performance.
> cat /etc/exports/srv/nfsroot 192.168.11.0/24(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)> sudo mkdir /srv/nfsroot> sudo exportfs -ra
2.2 Exported directory for file sharing
- root_squash uses nobody:nogroup for file access by client.
> cat /etc/exports/srv/nfsshare *(rw,sync,root_squash,subtree_check)> sudo mkdir /srv/nfsshare> sudo chmod 777 /srv/nfsshare> sudo exportfs -ra
3 Mount NFS
Mount NFS with mount.nfs.
> sudo zypper -n in nfs-client> sudo mount -t nfs 127.0.0.1:/srv/nfsshare /mnt
