Configuring NFS to access the files from remote Linux machine as a mount point

I have a 2Tb of storage on a linux box, and i want to use that storage as a mount point from another machine.

As a root user on the remote machine, specify the mount point details

$cat /etc/exports

/scratch *(rw)

/fusionapps *(rw,no_root_squash)

And restart the NFS

sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs restart (All services should be in running condition)

sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs status (All services should be in running condition)

And on the local machine, perfrom the following steps

1. Create the stage dir under / as a root user and assign 777 permissions

2. Ad the entry to /etc/fstab file

slcai664.us.oracle.com:/fusionapps /stage nfs rw,hard,nointr,rsize=131072,wsize=131072,timeo=600,noacl,noatime,nodiratime,lock 0 0

3. Then try “mount -a”

If there are any mount point issues, say even as root user, you are not able to modify the files

Unable to mount Read-Only file System

then use

sudo mount -n -o remount,rw /
