root@node5:/home/ubuntu# apt install nfs-kernel-serverIn this example I have a directory (/mnt/lviso) which I want to share out to a entire network.
Edit the file /etc/exports The exports directory provides the instructions which describe which parts of the system we are gong to export and to which network locations.
/mnt/lviso 192.168.160.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
/mnt/lvnfs 192.168.160.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)The following command instructs the NFS subsystem to rescan the “exports” and update accordingly.
$ sudo exportfs -aNow it’s time to restart the NFS service. If this wasn’t already started.
$ sudo systemctl restart nfs-kernel-serverManually mounting a NFS filesystem

$ sudo mount -t nfs 172.16.104.251:/lvnfs /mnt
