How to Set Up an NFS Mount
NFS (Network File System) is a distributed file system protocol that allows you to mount remote directories on your server, allowing you to manage storage space in a different location, and write to that space from multiple clients. In this guide, we’ll go over how to install the software needed for NFS functionality, configure two NFS mounts on a server and client, and mount and unmount the remote shares. Choose your operating system to get started.
