New page

'''Network File System''' ('''NFS''') is a distributed file system protocol allowing a user on a client computer to access files over a computer network much like local storage is accessed.

==Install and configure NFS==
''Note: The following is for the NFS master and client running on CentOS 6.''

* Assumptions:
** Master IP: 192.168.200.204
** Client IP: 192.168.200.203

===Setup the master===
* Install the following NFS packages:
$ yum install nfs-utils nfs-utils-lib

* Start services and make them persistent:
$ chkconfig nfs on
$ service rpcbind start
$ service nfs start

* Add the following line to <code>/etc/exports</code>:
/data 192.168.200.203(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)

* Export the <code>/data</code> path:
$ exportfs -a

===Setup the client===
* Install the following NFS packages:
$ yum install nfs-utils nfs-utils-lib

* Create the directory that will contain the NFS shared files:
$ mkdir -p /mnt/nfs/data

* Mount the NFS share:
$ mount 192.168.200.204:/data /mnt/nfs/data

* Check that it is mounted:
$ df -h
$ mount | grep nfs
sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)
192.168.200.204:/data on /mnt/nfs/data type nfs (rw,vers=4,addr=192.168.200.204,clientaddr=192.168.200.203)

===Test the NFS mount===
* On the client:
$ echo "Hello, world" > /mnt/nfs/data/helloworld

* On the master
$ cat /data/helloworld
Hello, world

It works.

* Make the NFS mount persistent by adding the following line to the client's <code>/etc/fstab</code>:
192.168.200.204:/data /mnt/nfs/data nfs auto,noatime,nolock,bg,nfsvers=3,intr,tcp,actimeo=1800 0 0
