INSTALLATION OF NFS SERVER AND MOUNTING NAS

Let your system ip address:xxx.xxx.x.xx

 

nas ip address:xxx.xxx.x.xx.

 

1.If rpcbind corrupted in your system first remove it.

2.Download and install NFS

#yum install nfs* -y

3.Verify that the nfs services are installed.

#rpm -qa nfs-utils

#rpm -qa rpcbind

Note:Network attached storage which i am mounting only runs on Network File system version 3 and it also needs Portmap which is the resource of rpcbind.

5.Edit the exports file to export any directory/file you want to.

#vi /etc/exports

/tmp xxx.xxx.x.xx/24(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)

/tmp:Directory you want to export to nas.

xxx.xxx.x.xx/24:IP address of nas.

rw:giving read and write permission to nas.

Sync:Synchronize shared directory whenever create new files/folders.

no_root_squash:Enable root privilege  (Users can read, write and delete the files in the shared directory)

After typing this save it by :wq

7.Restart the services NFS and Portmap.

#service nfs restart

#service portmap restart

8.Check NAS is in export list of your system ip address.

#showmount -e xxx.xxx.x.xx
