## Configuration Files
- **/etc/exports** - NFS export definitions (currently empty)
- **/etc/idmapd.conf** - NFSv4 ID mapping configuration
- **/etc/nfs.conf** - NFS server configuration
- **/etc/default/nfs-kernel-server** - NFS kernel server defaults

## Export Configuration
Currently no exports configured. Export list is empty:
\\\ash
showmount -e localhost
# Export list for localhost:
\\\

## Next Steps for NFS Share Configuration

### 1. Create NFS Export
Edit /etc/exports to add shared directories:
\\\ash
# Example exports
/data/nfs-share 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
/backup 10.10.14.0/24(ro,sync,no_root_squash)
\\\

### 2. Apply Exports
\\\ash
exportfs -a           # Apply all exports
exportfs -v           # Verify exports
systemctl restart nfs-server
\\\

### 3. Firewall Rules (if needed)
\\\ash
ufw allow from 192.168.1.0/24 to any port nfs
ufw allow 2049/tcp    # NFS
ufw allow 111/tcp     # RPC portmapper
ufw allow 111/udp     # RPC portmapper
\\\

### 4. Test Mount (from client)
\\\ash
showmount -e 10.10.14.16
mount -t nfs 10.10.14.16:/data/nfs-share /mnt/nfs
\\\

## NFS Export Options Reference
- **rw**: Read-write access
- **ro**: Read-only access
- **sync**: Synchronous writes (safer, slower)
- **async**: Asynchronous writes (faster, less safe)
- **no_subtree_check**: Disable subtree checking (better performance)
- **no_root_squash**: Allow root access from client
- **root_squash**: Map root to anonymous user (more secure)

## Integration with Calypso
NFS shares can be used for:
- Exporting ZFS datasets via NFS
- Sharing tape library storage
- Remote backup destinations
- Distributed storage access

## Verification Commands
\\\ash
# Check NFS service status
systemctl status nfs-server

# List all NFS-related services
systemctl list-units | grep nfs

# Show active exports
exportfs -v

# Show exports to clients
showmount -e localhost

# Check RPC services
rpcinfo -p
\\\

**Status**: ✅ Installation Complete
**Services**: ✅ All Running
**Ready for**: Export configuration and client mounting
