To set up and mount NFS on Ubuntu, you need to follow these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Install NFS server software:<\/li>\n
  2. Run the following command in the terminal to install NFS server software: sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server.<\/li>\n
  3. Set up an NFS server.<\/li>\n
  4. Edit the NFS server configuration file \/etc\/exports using the following command: sudo nano \/etc\/exports.<\/li>\n
  5. Add the directory and access permissions you want to share in the file. For example, to share the \/home\/user\/shared directory and allow all clients to access it, you can add the following line: \/home\/user\/shared *(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)<\/li>\n
  6. Save and close the file.<\/li>\n
  7. Start the NFS server.<\/li>\n
  8. To start the NFS server in the terminal, run the following command: sudo systemctl start nfs-kernel-server.<\/li>\n
  9. If necessary, you can use the following command to set the NFS server to start at boot: sudo systemctl enable nfs-kernel-server.<\/li>\n
  10. Mount NFS share:<\/li>\n
  11. Create a directory on the client side to mount the NFS share. For example, you can create a directory named “shared” under the \/mnt\/nfs directory: sudo mkdir -p \/mnt\/nfs\/shared.<\/li>\n
  12. Run the following command in the terminal to mount an NFS share: sudo mount server_ip:\/home\/user\/shared \/mnt\/nfs\/shared, where server_ip is the IP address of the NFS server.<\/li>\n
  13. You can also use the following command to automatically mount NFS shares at startup: sudo nano \/etc\/fstab, and then add the following line: server_ip:\/home\/user\/shared \/mnt\/nfs\/shared nfs defaults 0 0<\/li>\n
  14. Save and close the file.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note: Ensure that both the server and client have their firewalls configured to allow NFS traffic to pass through in order to facilitate proper communication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
