Managing NFS Exports

Network File System (NFS) exports provide an effective way of sharing files across a UNIX/ Linux network with authorized clients. After creating NFS exports, NFS clients then need to mount each NFS export. The FluidFS cluster fully supports NFS protocol version v3 and partially supports NFS protocol version v4.

Supported NFSv4 features:

File and byterange locking

Kerberos v5 security using an AD server

AUTH_SYS legacy weak authentication

UID translation using an LDAP server (UNIX or AD) or an NIS server

UTF8 file and directory names

Configuring NFS Exports

View, add, modify, and delete NFS exports and control whether NFS v4 is enabled.

Viewing All NFS Exports on a FluidFS Cluster
