# apt install nfs-server
Shares can be configured in /etc/exports
<mountpoint> <allowed_ip>(<option1>,<option2>) <allowed_ip2>(<option1>,...)
ro: specifies that the directory may only be mounted as read only
rw: grants both read and write permissions on the directory
no_root_squash: is an extremely dangerous option that allows remote “root” users the same privilege as the “root” user of the host machine
subtree_check: specifies that, in the case of a directory is exported instead of an entire filesystem, the host should verify the location of files and directories on the host filesystem
no_subtree_check: specifies that the host should not check the location of the files being accessed withing the host filesystem
sync: this just ensures that the host keeps any changes uploaded to the shared directory in sync
async: ignores synchronization checks in favor of increased speed
Example single host:
/mnt/nfs 192.168.1.123(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
Example whole subnet:
/mnt/nfs 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
Apply new config by restarting the service.
# systemctl restart nfs-server
Show configured shares
$ cat /var/lib/nfs/etab
# pacman -S nfs-utils
# apt install nfs-common
Mount through terminal
# mount -t nfs4 (ip):(mountpoint) (local mountpoint)
Can also be mounted with fstab
Search for Turn Windows features on or off
Check everything under Services for NFS
and click "OK"
Mount as mapped network drive
mount -o anon \\(ip)\(mountpoint) (letter):
