Thanks for this concise write-up. I got it working up to the part about permanently mounting the nfs export directory to the client. When I tried whats in your instructions, it did not mount. I poked around on some other websites and tried what their instructions. Between the two of those, I did something terrible wrong to fstab and I was unable to boot (had to reformat the computer).

Hi, Iā€™m trying to figure out what IP to put in the YOUR-NFS-SERVER-IP place holder. when mounting to client. Thank you.

Login to server and obtain the IP address from there. If you need additional help, please create a new thread on our forum.
