Describe the two steps an NFS client can use to access files on a remote NFS server.

What will be an ideal response?


There are two steps for an NFS client to access files on a remote NFS server:
1.      The client attempts to connect to a server by using the /etc/exports file (a process called "mount access"). The /etc/exports file contains the name or IP address of computers allowed to share files or a directory in a local file system. A client computer with an IP address matching one specified in the /etc/exports file is permitted to access the shared directory on the server.
2.      The client gains access to a shared file or directory with the permission specified for the shared file or directory.
