Introduction
NFS, or Network File System, is a distributed file system protocol that allows you to mount remote directories on your server. This lets you manage storage space in a different location and write to that space from multiple clients. NFS provides a relatively quick and easy way to access remote systems over a network and works well in situations where the shared resources must be accessed regularly.
In this guide, we’ll go over how to install the components needed for NFS functionality, configure NFS mounts, and unmount an NFS remote share.
Prerequisites
We will use two servers in this tutorial, with one sharing part of its filesystem with the other. To follow along, you will need:
Two CentOS Servers. with root privileges and private networking, if it’s available to you.
Throughout this tutorial, we refer to the server that shares its directories as the host and the server that mounts these directories as the client. In order to keep them straight, we’ll use the following IP addresses as stand-ins for the host and client values:
Host: 192.168.56.104 Client: 192.168.56.105
