How To Set Up an NFS Mount on CentOS 6
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.
