How To Set Up an NFS Mount on CentOS 6

NFS (Network File System) is a distributed file system protocol that allows you to share files and directories across a network. In this tutorial, we will show you how to set up an NFS mount on CentOS 6.

Step 1: Install the necessary packages

The first step is to install the necessary packages:

yum install nfs-utils

Step 2: Create a directory to share

Next, we need to create a directory to share:

mkdir /shared-directory

Step 3: Configure the NFS server

Now we need to configure the NFS server by editing the /etc/exports file:

vi /etc/exports

Add the following line to the end of the file:

/shared-directory *(rw,sync)

This line specifies that the /shared-directory directory should be shared with all clients and that it should have read-write access (rw) and be synchronized (sync) with the server.

Step 4: Start the NFS server

Start the NFS server using the following command:

service nfs start

You can also set the NFS server to start automatically at boot time:

chkconfig nfs on

Step 5: Mount the NFS share on the client

Finally, we need to mount the NFS share on the client:

mount nfs-server:/shared-directory /mnt

This will mount the /shared-directory directory from the NFS server at the /mnt directory on the client.

Conclusion

That's it! You have successfully set up an NFS mount on CentOS 6. Now you can share files and directories across your network.
