Comments on Setting up an NFS Server and Client on Debian Wheezy
This guide explains how to set up an NFS server and an NFS client on Debian Wheezy. NFS stands for Network File System; through NFS, a client can access (read, write) a remote share on an NFS server as if it was on the local hard disk. In this Tutorial I will show you two different NFS exports, the export of a client directory that stores files as user nobody / nogroup without preserving filesystem permissions and a export of the /var/www directory which preserves permissions and ownerships of files, as required on a hosting server setup.

I always have to add a double "//" to my mount ULR or it doesn't mount. Example below: Yours, [...] 192.168.0.100:/home/client1 /mnt/nfs/home/client1 nfs rw,sync,hard,intr 0 0 192.168.0.100:/var/www /var/www nfs rw,sync,hard,intr 0 0 Mine, [...] 192.168.0.100://home/client1 /mnt/nfs/home/client1 nfs rw,sync,hard,intr 0 0 192.168.0.100://var/www /var/www nfs rw,sync,hard,intr 0 0
Very clear reading, but apparently missing the text for "create system startup links for the NFS server and start it:" in Step 2.
thanks.

It worked as it was out of the box. Thanks so much for the tutorial
