NFS study for BJLUG

I’ve volunteered to do a presentation for Boston Japanese Linux Users Group‘s annual fall Study Group. Topics are NFS and GmailFS. Here is my NFS note.

Setting Up an NFS Server:

1. edit /etc/exports (or in Fedora KDE, System settings -> NFS)
2. Looks like this: /home 111.111.111.111(rw,sync)where 111.111.111.111 is ip address of the client machine youare going to allow connection.
3. run nfs (or system settings -> server settings -> services)
4. varify if it is running /usr/sbin/rpcinfo -p

Connect with Other Linux machine

1. /usr/sbin/rpcinfo -p
2. is portmapper there?
3. make sure you have a mount point in /mnt/[whatever]
4. sudo mount 222.222.222.222:/home/daigo /mnt/[whatever] where 222.222.222.222 is the server’s ip.
5. That is it

Connect with Mac OS X

1. To be completed
