“3 Exporting Directories On The Server
server:
I’d like to make the directories /home and /var/nfs accessible to
the client; therefore we must “export” them on the server.“When a client accesses an NFS share, this normally happens as
the user nobody. Usually the /home directory isn’t owned by nobody
(and I don’t recommend to change its ownership to nobody!), and
because we want to read and write on /home, we tell NFS that
accesses should be made as root (if our /home share was read-only,
this wouldn’t be necessary). The /var/nfs directory doesn’t exist,
so we can create it and change its ownership to nobody and
nogroup:”
