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 byte ‐range 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
– UTF
‐8 file and directory names
Configuring NFS Exports
View, add, modify, and delete NFS exports and control whether NFS v4 is enabled.
