do u have 2 linux boxes, but want to have 1 shared location to which 2 boxes can access...
Let us say we have machine 1 & machine 2
1) Go to machine 1
2) vi /etc/exports
3) add this line /vol1/shared *(rw) # the shared dir contents will be shared now
4) /etc/init.d/nfs restart (if you edit the file /etc/exports you need to restart nfs service)
Go to machine 2
1) Mkdir /vol1/shared
2) Use mount command
$mount machine1:/vol1/shared /vol1/shared-t nfs -o proto=tcp,vers=3 # in machine1 we exported shared dir
3) You are done here . if you want to make mount permanent then you should edit /etc/fstab .
Note: make sure the user has same uid and gid in these two machines if you want to have write permissions from 2 boxes to this shared directory . we should use usermod/groupmod commands to change uid/gid of user in machine 2.
Give $ id user #command in 2 boxes and make sure uid/gid are same , if not use the following commands
Examples
1)Usermod –u user
2) Groupmod –g user
3) Usermod –g user (this changes perfuser to belong to group specified by new_gid tat we created in 2nd command
