I have 2 computers at home, both runing Ubuntu (6.10 & Herd 4). I have a 400Gb HDD mounted on the stationary computer with all my media. I also have a laptop (Aspire 1300) with a 20Gb harddrive.
What I have done is that I have mounted the 400Gb harddrive in the root of the Laptop.

This guide will show how to mount a folder/HDD on a computer in your homenetwork.
Start with the following on the computer that has the folder/HDD you want to share.
sudo apt-get install nfs-commons nfs-kernel-server
then
sudo gedit /etc/exports
you will see something like this

/400Gb is the path to the folder/HDD I want to share. 192.168.1.64 is the ip-number of the computer on my network that will have the /400Gb folder mounted (My laptop).
If you want to allow the client computer to be root in the mounted folder you write rw,no_root_squash,async instead of rw,async
Save and exit gedit.
Now do
sudo /etc/init.d/portmap restart
sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-common restart
sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart
Now we are done with the server computer. Now we configure the client computer (my laptop)
Start with creating a directory for the mounted folder/HDD and name it to what ever you want. In my realworld example I did
sudo mkdir /400Gb/
After that, we do
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
Add the following to the document.
192.168.1.65:/400Gb /400Gb nfs _netdev,auto,user 0 0
192.168.1.65 is the IP-number for my stationary computer. :/400Gb is the folder/HDD on my stationary computer that I want to mount. The last /400Gb is the folder on the client computer where the mounted folder/HDD will be located.
Save and exit gedit. Reboot your system and everything should work.
To find out your internal IP number just do
/sbin/ifconfig

Hopefully it works out just as easy as it did for me.
