Re: NFS setup -
Allegedly, on or about 17 April 2018, Bob Goodwin sent:
From the client /etc/fstab:
192.168.1.86:/exports/home/ /mnt/test/ nfs4 defaults 0 0
Okay, looks normal. The server has /exports/home making it available
to your LAN.
When your client saves into its /mnt/test/, files will be saved into
the server's /exports/home/
I guess it boils down to how do I tell NFS to store data in /home
instead of "/"? I've been looking at this and can't see what to
change, or maybe it can';t be fixed that way?
One solution:
Stop exporting that directory (so there's no confusion in the change).
Move the current contents from /exports/home/ to /home/exports/home/
Change your server's details in its /etc/exports to the new location.
Change your client's details in their /etc/fstab to the new location.
Now, when clients write to their /mnt/test/, they'll be writing into
your other partition, at /home/exports/home/
You may want to rename some directories to be less confusing paths.
