This mounting procedure is needed when you want to mount a directory between 2 Linux servers. In this example I created it in Linux Centos.
What you need?
Host Linux server ( where the source directory and its data exists ): 10.0.0.1
Client server ( where we create the mount to connect to the Hosted Linux server ): 10.0.0.2
Directory to share: /data/application-folder
U need root access in order to install the libraries and edit the Linux configuration.
NFS Server
The host Linux server must be setup for a NFS server.
yum install nfs-utils nfs-utils-lib
add the configuration to the startup and start them
chkconfig nfs on
service rpcbind start
service nfs start
Export Directory
Next we need to tell the Host server which directory he must share, and who has access to it and what are their access-rights.
vi /etc/exports
Add the line:
/data/application-folder 10.0.0.2(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
Now export them:
exportfs -a
Client Server
Now we can setup the other server and add the directory via a mount.
We have to install the same programs.
yum install nfs-utils nfs-utils-lib
Create and Mount
mkdir -p /data/application-folder
mount 10.0.0.1:/data/application-folder
You can check it by entering the command:
df -h
Add the mount to the system
vi /etc/fstab
Add the following line:
10.0.0.1:/data/application-folder /data/application-folder nfs auto,noatime,nolock,bg,nfsvers=3,intr,tcp,actimeo=1800 0 0
