Exporting Filesystems
To set up an NFS server, first check that all the hosts that will mount your filesystem can reach your host. Next, edit the /etc/exports file on the server. Each entry in this file indicates the name of a directory to be exported, domain names of machines that will have access to that particular mount point, and any options specific to that machine. A typical entry looks like:
/projects hostname1(rw) hostname2(ro)
If you are running mountd, the files will be exported as allowed by the permissions in /etc/exports. See the exports manpage for all available export options.
