NFS

Network File System


Introduction

●
NFS allows to share directories and files between Linux Systems

●
nfs-utils* is a software package name

●
Additional package required is rpcbind*

●
To check the package in the system

#rpm –qa | grep nfs-utils


# rpm -qa | grep rpcbind

●
Service name is nfs-server
NFS Server Configuration
●
Mount the disk /dev/nvme0n1p6 to /sharedir directory
#mkdir /sharedir
#mount /dev/nvme0n1p6 /sharedir
●
Exported File System(s) are defined in configuration file /etc/exports.

# vi /etc/exports

/sharedir 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync)
●
Start the service

# systemctl restart nfs-server

●
Stop firewall

# systemctl stop firewalld

●
To refresh the service
# exportfs –r

●
To check the shared directory
# exportfs –v
NFS client configuration

●
Mount the directory to be shared permanently in /etc/fstab

#mkdir /data
#vi /etc/fstab

192.168.1.1:/sharedir /data nfs defaults 0 0

●
(OR) Mount the directory to be accessed temporarily

#mount -t nfs 192.168.1.1:/sharedir /data

#mount -a
#df -h

●
Note:

— The mount point must exist before /etc/fstab is read or the file
system is manually mounted.
NFS client configuration- Troubleshooting

●
Use showmount command to find and verify which areas are
mounted on the client side

# showmount –e 192.168.1.1

# mount -a

# mount
Troubleshooting
●
When your NFS server is configured as NFSv4-only, clients attempting
to mount shares using NFSv2 or NFSv3 fail with an error like the
following:

“Requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported.”

●
To configure your NFS server to support only NFS version 4.0 and
later. Disable NFSv2, NFSv3, and UDP by adding the following line to
the /etc/sysconfig/nfs configuration file:

RPCNFSDARGS="-N 2 -N 3 -U"
●
Optionally, disable listening for the RPCBIND, MOUNT, and NSM
protocol calls, which are not necessary in the NFSv4-only case.

●
The effects of disabling these options are:

●
Clients that attempt to mount shares from your server using
NFSv2 or NFSv3 become unresponsive.
●
The NFS server itself is unable to mount NFSv2 and NFSv3 file
systems.
