NFS howto

:: NFS ::
Put what you want to share in
/etc/exports
/var/ftp/pub *.example.com(ro,sync) *.redhat.com(rw,sync)
/data 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 (sync)
/share server*,station1.corp.local (r)
service nfs status
exportfs -v
rpcinfo -p
service portmap status
exportfs
-r To refresh the list /etc/exports
-v Display list
-a Exports all shares
showmount -e HOST display available shares
To mount the share:
mount station16:/nfsdemo /mnt
To mount specific version of NFS:
mount -F nfs -o vers=3 10.218.10.10:/data2/oracle /mnt
Automount:
/etc/fstab
NFS shares are mounted at boot time by /etc/init.d/netfs
autofs mounts NFS shares on demand and unmount when idle
/etc/auto.master
How to fix static ports
/etc/sysconfig/nfs
MOUNTD_PORT=”4002″
STATD_PORT=”4003″
LOCKD_TCPPORT=”4004″
LOCKD_UDPPORT=”4004″
RQUOTAD_PORT=”4005″
STATD_OUTGOING_PORT=”4006″
Troubleshooting:
nfsstat [ -cmnrsz ]
