How To Set Up an NFS Mount on Ubuntu 14.04
How To Set Up an NFS Mount on Ubuntu 14.04
NFS (Network File System) is a protocol used to share files over a network. In this tutorial, we will be setting up an NFS mount on Ubuntu 14.04.
Step 1: Install NFS server on Ubuntu 14.04
To install the NFS server on Ubuntu 14.04, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server
Step 2: Create the shared directory
Now, we need to create a directory that will be shared over the network. To create a directory named "shared", run the following command:
sudo mkdir /shared
You can choose any other directory name and location based on your preferences.
Step 3: Configure the NFS server
The next step is to configure the NFS server by editing the "/etc/exports" file. Open the file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/exports
Add the following line to the end of the file:
/shared *(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
This line specifies that the "shared" directory will be exported to all clients with read and write permissions.
Step 4: Export the shared directory
To export the shared directory, run the following command:
sudo exportfs -a
This command exports all directories listed in the "/etc/exports" file.
Step 5: Configure the NFS client
Now, we need to configure the NFS client to mount the shared directory. To do this, install the NFS client on the client machine using the following command:
sudo apt-get install nfs-common
Then, create a directory on the client machine where you want to mount the shared directory. For example, to create a directory named "mnt/shared" run the following command:
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/shared
Step 6: Mount the shared directory
Finally, we can mount the shared directory on the client machine using the following command:
sudo mount server_ip:/shared /mnt/shared
Replace "server_ip" with the IP address of the NFS server.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully set up an NFS mount on Ubuntu 14.04. You can now share files between the NFS server and client machines.
