]]> 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 /

]]> Network File System (NFS) is a network file system protocol originally developed by Sun Microsystems in 1984, allowing a user on a client computer  to access files over a network in a manner similar to how local storage is accessed. NFS, like many other protocols, builds on the Open Network Computing Remote Procedure Call (ONC RPC) system. The Network File System is an open standard defined in RFCs, allowing anyone to implement the protocol.

The NFS protocol is designed to be independent of the computer, operating system, network architecture, and transport protocol. This means that systems using the NFS service may be manufactured by different vendors, use different operating systems, and be connected to networks with different architectures. These differences are transparent to the NFS application, and thus, the user.
