NFS — zet.home.arpa

NFSv4 file server exporting bulk storage to LAN clients.

Overview

Field Value
Package nfs-kernel-server (Ubuntu)
Config /etc/exports
Services nfs-server, nfs-mountd, nfs-idmapd, rpcbind, rpc-statd
Port 2049/tcp+udp

Exports

Path Clients Options
/data/hsgt10a 172.27.0.0/24 rw,sync,no_subtree_check

/etc/exports

/data/hsgt10a 172.27.0.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

Warning

: The current /etc/exports on the server has a space between 172.27.0.0/24 and (rw,sync,...). A space causes the options to apply to * (world) rather than the specified subnet — this is a security misconfiguration. The correct syntax has no space before the parenthesis:

/data/hsgt10a 172.27.0.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

Fix and reload: sudo exportfs -ra

Service Management

sudo systemctl status nfs-server
sudo systemctl restart nfs-server
sudo exportfs -v                     # show active exports
sudo exportfs -ra                    # reload /etc/exports without restarting
showmount -e 172.27.0.35             # list exports (run from client)

Mounting from a Client

# Temporary mount
sudo mount -t nfs 172.27.0.35:/data/hsgt10a /mnt/hsgt10a

# Permanent — add to client's /etc/fstab:
172.27.0.35:/data/hsgt10a  /mnt/hsgt10a  nfs  defaults,_netdev  0 0

Migration Notes

To move NFS to a new server:

  1. Install: sudo apt install nfs-kernel-server
  2. Copy /etc/exports (fix the space issue above before copying)
  3. Ensure /data/hsgt10a is mounted on the new host
  4. Enable and start: sudo systemctl enable --now nfs-server
  5. Update any client /etc/fstab entries to point to the new server IP
