NFS setup

Server settings

1. install programs:

sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common portmap

2. edit /etc/exports

sudo nano /etc/exports

add client adresses:

/mnt/herschel/ 192.168.1.20(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
/mnt/herschel/ 192.168.1.21(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

/mnt/pasteur/ 192.168.1.37(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

3. Edit /etc/hosts.allow

sudo nano /etc/hosts.allow

and add client adresses:

portmap: 192.168.1.20 , 198.168.1.21 , 198.168.1.22 , 198.168.1.23 , 198.168.1.24 , 198.168.1.25 , 198.168.1.88 , 192.168.1.36 , 192.168.1.27
sshd: 192.168.1.20/192.168.1.99

restart computer.

4. If the command

sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart

gives the output

[warn] Not starting: portmapper is not running ... (warning).

then do:

sudo update-rc.d rpcbind enable && sudo update-rc.d nfs-common enable

sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart

Installation is finished.

If there is a problem try:

sudo service rpcbind start

5. If you run 'rpcinfo -p' from the server, as you should see a largish list of information, including 'nfs' and 'portmapper' as some of the lines.

Client settings

1. install programs:

sudo apt-get install nfs-common

2. mount:

sudo mount 192.168.1.33:/example /mnt/localmountpoint

3. unmount commands. (the second one forces it.)

sudo umount /mnt/localmountpoint

sudo umount -f -l /mnt/localmountpoint

add alias in bashrc if you want:

alias fardisk='sudo mount 192.168.1.33:/mnt/itachi /mnt/localmountpoint'

alias ufardisk='sudo umount -f -l /mnt/localmountpoint'
