How to setup a NFS server on CentOS 6

This document describes how to configure your CentOS 6.x linux to act as a NFS Server to share any directories on your Network

Install required software

[codesyntax lang="bash"]

yum install nfs-utils

[/codesyntax]

Configure NFS server

[codesyntax lang="bash"]

vim /etc/idmapd.conf

[/codesyntax]

# line 5: uncomment and change to your domain name
Domain = test.org

Configure NFS shares

[codesyntax lang="bash"]

vim /etc/exports

[/codesyntax]

/home 10.0.0.0/24(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)

Note:
/home -> shared directory
10.0.0.0/24 -> range of networks NFS permits accesses
rw -> writable
sync -> synchronize
no_root_squash -> enable root privilege
no_all_squash -> enable users' authority

Start NFS services

[codesyntax lang="bash"]

/etc/rc.d/init.d/rpcbind start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfslock start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start

[/codesyntax]

Set services to start at boot

[codesyntax lang="bash"]

chkconfig rpcbind on
chkconfig nfslock on
chkconfig nfs on

[/codesyntax]
