Setting up NFS
In this post we will create an NFS share that will be used by all the machines on our Host-Only network.
Setting up NFS Server
On our main server, labx-server, install nfs-server
-
Install file server group list
yum -y groupinstall file-server
-
Enable services on boot
systemctl enable rpbcind nfs-server
-
Start the services
systemctl start rpcbind
systemctl start nfs-server
-
Setup the shared directories
mkdir /nfs ; chmod 0777 /nfs
-
Edit /etc/exportfs to assign permissions
/nfs 192.168.56.0/24(rw,sync)
-
Export the directory
exportfs -avr
-
Confirm the share
showmount -e localhost
Setting up the clients
-
Install nfs-utils and rpcbind
yum -y install nfs-utils rpcbind
-
Start rpbcind
systemctl enable rpcbind ; systemctl start rpcbind
-
Create the mount point
mkdir -p /nfs
-
Edit /etc/fstab and add the mount point
192.168.56.102:/nfs /nfs nfs defaults 0 0
