How to Setup NFS in Linux

Make sure we have the NFS (both client and server) package installed.
1. Edit /etc/exports

/home/myuser/share *rw(root_squash)

rw --> read write
ro --> read only
root_squash --> the remote root user is not allowed to have a root level access
no_root_squash --> the remote root user is allowed to have a root-level access
2. Verify it

showmount -e [nfs_server_address]

3. Open firewall port 2049
4. Restart the nfsserver deamon

/etc/init.d/nfsserver restart

5. Mount the remote export.

mount -t nfs [nfs_server_address]:/home/myuser/share nfs/
