Setting up an NFS Server

See howto here.

  • Install packages
sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common portmap
  • Edit file /etc/exports
/files 192.168.1.0/24(rw,async)                   #Full RW permission, incl. root access
/files 192.168.1.2 (ro,async)                     #Single machine RO access

Add no_root_squash option to avoid remapping user root to nfsnobody (not recommended).

  • Restart the server
sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart
sudo exportfs -a                                # Also needed after making changes to /etc/exports

Setting up an NFS Client

  • Install client packages
sudo apt-get install portmap nfs-common

Issues

  • Stale NFS file handler on NTFS — Bad interferences between NFS Server and NTFS. Accessing files on a remote NTFS partition through NFS in unstable (stale NFS file handler). Got even complete system freeze.
