Comments on Setting Up An NFS Server And Client On CentOS 6.3

This guide explains how to set up an NFS server and an NFS client on CentOS 6.3. 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.

Super instructions !  

It would also be worth mentioning that iptables do needs to be taken care of, if one has it enabled.

This guide should mention rpcbind.

 for anyone getting problems with "mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking."

make sure you yum install rpcbind and also service rpcbind start

What happened if I stop a server 'A' synchronized with a server 'B'??

Great tutorial!

To make it even more complete, you could add intructions to allow NFS through firewall (for example see here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26187345/iptables-rules-for-nfs-server-and-nfs-client)

Hello. I am "mkohji".

I have a question.

Can I mount a NFS with quota? (Not Server side)

I understand quota is set NFS server. But I must client side.

Does anyone know a good solution?
