** On the Server **
|
||
|
|
This documents takes you through setting nfs shares on a fedora family OS. The
|
||
|
|
core packages that need to be present are =autofs, nfs-utils=
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
sudo dnf install autofs nfs-utils
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Create the directories to share. In this case two folders under the share
|
||
|
|
directory
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
mkdir -p /shares/share{1,2}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
To tell nfs-server, what folders to share we edit the ==/etc/exports== with the
|
||
|
|
following lines:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
/shares *(rw,no_root_squash)
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
For more examples on how to edit ==/etc/exports== consult the man page at `man
|
||
|
|
exports` and navigate to the bottom of the page.
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
systemctl start nfs-server
|
||
|
|
systemctl enable nfs-server
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Allow external programs access by changing the firewall(nftables). Rpcbind,
|
||
|
|
mountd, nfs are related services that need access.
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
for i in rpc-bind mountd nfs; do firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service $i; done;
|
||
|
|
firewall-cmd --reload
|
||
|
|
firewall-cmd --list-services # confirm changes
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**On the Client**
|
||
|
|
Make sure the required packages are installed as seen above. Use ==showmount==
|
||
|
|
to verify the shared folders.
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
showmount -e ip_address_server/hostname # verify /etc/hosts in case of issues
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Tell autofs the shared folders to mount and the location of their config file.
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
# in /etc/auto.master
|
||
|
|
/shares /etc/auto.shares # replaces shares with any file/name
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Tell autofs how to mount /shares in /etc/auto.shares
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
* -rw hostname:/shares/&
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Mounts all folders exported thanks to the wildcard character. The ampersand
|
||
|
|
matches any subdirectory in the ==/shares==
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Start the autofs service
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
systemctl start autofs
|
||
|
|
systemctl enable autofs
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Confirm folder gets mounted when you navigate to it `cd /shares/`
|
