**Setup for NFS shares** ====== Install packages for server ====== Install the required packages:apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common portmap ====== Create the folder to share ====== mkdir /home/nfs No need to change the permissions ====== Config shares ====== nano /etc/exports /home/nfs 192.168.20.160(rw,no_root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check) # for a remote machine /home/nfs 192.168.20.150(rw,no_root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check) # for the localhost itself /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server reload and service nfs-kernel-server status / stop / start to control and check the server NFS. be carefull about the IPS's when eth0 and vmbr0 are **not properly** reconfigured: for the remote hosts the IP of the vmbr0 is required, for the localhost the IP of eth0 is needed into /etc/exports! \\ "service nfs-kernel-server status" can show which machine is trying to connect. No need to modify any parameters of the firewall!
