Good Morning, Jay.... a long time subscriber....So if I want to enable nfs shares for my home network, where do I set the permissions to allow access for non admin users? You mentioned in the video that permissions were not important yet, but afaik you never mentioned permissions again. Thanks in advance. Jim Smith Sr
I have a dir mounted works file but inside that dir I mount bind a dir from an other disk in that shared dir.. it shows up but is empty inside on my client computer. Someone any idea why, and how I can I fix this?
autofs is not working correctly for me. When I go to the nfs folder it shows the folder is there but when I list what is in that folder it says 'no such file or directory.' df -h does not show the folder. But I have no trouble mounting the folder without using autofs and listing its contents.
According to the article linked below, symbolic links can be used with NFS, although they take a fair amount of configuration and planning. docstore.mik.ua/orelly/networking_2ndEd/nfs/ch06_04.htm Additionally, this post from Stack Exchange has some useful information regarding symlinks and NFS: unix.stackexchange.com/questions/135048/how-to-follow-symlinks-in-nfs
So I can use autofs to mount user home directories? But how do I control who can mount an nfs share for a home directory on a machine that is allowed to mount any share from the server hosting those home directories?
It might just be me, but I've had problems on the client when the nfs server goes offline for some reason. I am referring to RHEL 7 and Fedora. In the case of RHEL, it was at work and the blighters needed to be rebooted after hours.
In short, yes. Although Android makes use of the Linux kernel (and is arguably a Linus distro itself), this seems to be easier done on iOS. Connecting to an NFS server/mount seems to require you to recompile the kernel on Android so your results may vary and require some in-depth troubleshooting. Here are some guides to point you in the right direction: - NFS Mounting for Android: android.stackexchange.com/questions/200867/how-to-mount-nfs-on-android-with-correct-permissions && androidforums.com/threads/download-files-from-linux-nfs-share-to-android-device.1307711/#post-7894369 - NFS Mounting iOS: support.apple.com/guide/iphone/connect-external-devices-or-servers-iph8d8f0f1a0/ios
Followed and got it all to work accept when I list just parent directory: ls -l /mnt/nfs then: df -h it dosen't show mounts but it still mounts if I say: ls -l /mnt/nfs/backup
Hello, I really liked your tutorial. I am using openSUSE Leap 15.4 and I have a problem with the firewall. What ports must be open on the server and client side. Thank you very much for your reply and I wish you all the best.

Hello, great video! Could you do a tutorial on how to secure an NFS server?
Best regards
Is there a way to secure the NFS share via authentication (username/password)? Is there a way to mount the NFS share via the /etc/fstab file?
great tutorial!
I have a dir mounted works file but inside that dir I mount bind a dir from an other disk in that shared dir.. it shows up but is empty inside on my client computer. Someone any idea why, and how I can I fix this?
i do every step you do, but I do mine on my rhel 9 server since I am prepping for the RHCSA, and i keep getting "clnt_create: RPC: Unable to receive"
Great content. Thank you
Thank you for this amazing content
do we have to use "no_subtree_check" or can I just do "sync"?
autofs is not working correctly for me. When I go to the nfs folder it shows the folder is there but when I list what is in that folder it says 'no such file or directory.'
df -h does not show the folder.
But I have no trouble mounting the folder without using autofs and listing its contents.
Stale file handle still happens. How can this be fixed, it's annoying to say the least.
Is it possible to put a symbolic link in the server folder and reach the content of it from client side? Thanks
According to the article linked below, symbolic links can be used with NFS, although they take a fair amount of configuration and planning.

So I can use autofs to mount user home directories? But how do I control who can mount an nfs share for a home directory on a machine that is allowed to mount any share from the server hosting those home directories?
Thanks
Great tutorial, but you could say its for a specific dsitribution (I think its debian for this vid).
It might just be me, but I've had problems on the client when the nfs server goes offline for some reason.

Sir, can we access NFS shares from Android and IOS devices? If yes, how? Thanks in advance.

Great video!
I have a query though, can we specify the NFS size on the server?
Followed and got it all to work accept when I list just parent directory: ls -l /mnt/nfs
then: df -h
it dosen't show mounts
but it still mounts if I say: ls -l /mnt/nfs/backup

Take it to the next step and configure krb5
Is it possible to enable compression on a nfs share to save bandwith?

What about security? this seems like anything on the network could access this
Um, this is not ripping off @LearnLinuxTV?
