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
