Step 1:
Start nfs, nfslock, portmap services
remote-server# service portmap start remote-server# service nfs start remote-server# service nfslock start
Step 2:
On remote server destination edit file /etc/exports
For example we will mounting /var/data/ directory on remote server
/var/data local-ip(rw,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,all_squash,anonuid=89,anongid=89)
anonuid and anongid
These options explicitly set the uid and gid of the anonymous account. This option is primarily useful for PC/NFS clients, where you might want all requests appear to be from one user. As an example, consider the export entry for /home/joe in the example section below, which maps all requests to uid 150 (which is supposedly that of user joe). (quote from man exports) In local server, if we want to mount remote directory /var/data on local directory for example /local/data/ we have to specify it on fstab
remote-ip:/var/data /local/data nfs defaults,soft,retrans=2,timeo=1,rsize=16384,wsize=16384,noauto 0 0
And then, mount it manualy(nextime when we restart our server it’ll be mounted automaticaly)
# mount remote-ip:/var/data /local/data
