Setup NFS Server on Fedora 19

First, install nfs-utils.

yum -y install nfs-utils

Configure domain name.

emacs /etc/idmapd.conf

Create a shared folder.

mkdir /shared
mkdir /shared/skyeye
chmod 777 /shared/skyeye
chown -R nfsnobody /shared/skyeye
chgrp -R nfsnobody /shared/skyeye

Access control.

emacs /etc/exports
# add a line
# /shared/skyeye 202.11.0.0/16(rw,sync)

Start nfs services.

systemctl start nfs-server.service
systemctl start nfs-lock.service
systemctl start rpc-bind.service
systemctl start nfs-idmap.service

Enable services at startup.

systemctl enable nfs-server.service
systemctl enable nfs-lock.service
systemctl enable rpc-bind.service
systemctl enable nfs-idmap.service

Allow NFS services through firewall.

Use rpcinfo -p to see which ports are used. Open them in the firewall so that clients can connect to this NFS server.

Mount NFS Shared Resources on Windows

Install NFS services (Windows 7 or later)

Open a command prompt with Win + R running cmd.

Use the following command to mount.

mount -o fileaccess=4 202.11.12.186:/shared/skyeye N:
# this mounts the shared folder to N: drive.

To unmount

umount N:
