Re: HOWTO: NFS Server/Client
Thanks, this howto made simple what the wiki howto makes look difficult. I can now dispense with the vagaries of samba :-)
Re: HOWTO: NFS Server/Client
Thanks for the howto. The only problem I ran into was with this line:

Re: HOWTO: NFS Server/Client
Thank you for writing this!!! I have been sifting through posts for two days trying to figure out how to share files between my two ubuntu(dapper) pc's. Your instructions worked the first time I tried them.

Re: HOWTO: NFS Server/Client
Had some serious speed problem with Samba. Setting up NFS from your guide works well! Now I'm doing 30-40Mb (gigabit network) per sec instead of 1-3Mb with Samba. Thanks!
Re: HOWTO: NFS Server/Client
thanks for this guide really cool
however I have a bunch of Disks mountet on the server i home dir
and I wanted to just mount the home dir in the client.
I did'nt work. I could not see the subdirs for some reason.
thoug if in export I make explicit what dirs to export where the dirs are disks, then it worked fine after restarting the service and making new mount points of course.
though if someone can explain how to just mount the home of the server that would be great. I did everything as the guide instructed.
Re: HOWTO: NFS Server/Client
If you're connection to a Linux NFS server from Mac OS X, you need to specify 'insecure' in your exports and map the user IDs since Macs use uid 501 for the first regular user. For my /etc/exports I use:
/home 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,async,insecure,all_squash,anonuid =1000,anongid=1000)
Re: HOWTO: NFS Server/Client
Thankyou malco2001,
Very precise and to the point, gained access to my freenas box in mere moments once i read this post, now to make sunbird share it's calendar file for both my ubuntu and windows boxes.
Many thanks

Re: HOWTO: NFS Server/Client
thanks, I found this helpful, and quite easy to config with the built in nfs module in webmin. I also experienced a speed increase of about double over samba.
