NFS Configuration completed
===== NFS Configuration =====
[[w:Network_File_System|NFS]] is commonly used to network mount the target root file system. NFS Server is already installed on [[:Category:DVDK|DVDK]] but needs to be configured before using it.
User just need to edit <code>/etc/exports</code> file to allow the local network to mount NFS shares.
The default configuration provided with DVDK allow mounting all subdirectory of ''/home/shared'' by the default class C private network 192.168.0.0/24, but is disabled.
<pre class="workstation-terminal">
nelk@nelk-desktop:~$ cat /etc/exports
# /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported
# to NFS clients. See exports(5).
#
# Example for NFSv2 and NFSv3:
# /srv/homes hostname1(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) hostname2(ro,sync,no_subtree_check)
#
# Example for NFSv4:
# /srv/nfs4 gss/krb5i(rw,sync,fsid=0,crossmnt,no_subtree_check)
# /srv/nfs4/homes gss/krb5i(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
#
#/home/shared 192.168.0.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)
nelk@nelk-desktop:~$

If you are on the default network just remove the <code>#</code> at the beginning of the last line. If you are on a different network, e.g. private class A network 10.0.0.0/8, change the line in;
<pre>
/home/shared 10.0.0.0/8(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)
</pre>
Changes are applied by running <code>exportfs -a</code> as root, and can be verified with <code>exportfs</code>
<pre class="workstation-terminal">
nelk@nelk-desktop:~$ sudo exportfs -a
nelk@nelk-desktop:~$ sudo exportfs
/home/shared 192.168.0.0/24
</pre>
