KfWiki: NFS under FreeBSD

In rc.conf, enable these options on the NFS server

rpcbind_enable="YES"
nfs_server_enable="YES"
mountd_flags="-r"

Edit /etc/exports to put in filesystems you need to export

/home/sites/webapps     10.0.0.220 -maproot=nobody:nobody

Start nfs service

/etc/rc.d/rpcbind start
/etc/rc.d/nfsd start

Reload mountd - mountd must be reloaded when /etc/exports get updated.

/etc/rc.d/mountd onereload

Out into /etc/rc.conf

nfs_client_enable="YES"

Start nfs client

/etc/rc.d/nfsclient start

Query exported fs on remote server

showmount -e remote-server

Mount the remote share

mount remoteserver:/some/place /my/mount

or put into fstab:

10.0.0.220:/usr/home/sites /usr/home/sites nfs -r=32768,-w=32768,rw,intr,tcp,bg     0       0

For gbe, the default sendspace (32k) and recvspace (64k) is probably too small.

net.inet.tcp.sendspace=3217968
net.inet.tcp.recvspace=3217968

This is so old. prolly no one is using it for good reasons. I'm just gonna lay out the dirty steps here.

SERVER
# edit /etc/exports
portmap
/sbin/mountd -r
/sbin/nfsd -tun 3 

CLIENT
nfsiod -n 4
mount -onfsv3 1.2.3.4:/blah /blah
