Exporting Directories with NFS
You
can
use the
/etc/exports
file to store folders you want to export
over NFS. For example, the following line exports the
/Users directory to two hosts
(192.168.0.134 and
192.168.0.106):
/Users -ro 192.168.0.134 192.168.0.106
The NFS server will start automatically at boot time if there are any
exports in that file. After you’ve set up your
exports, you can reboot, and NFS should start automatically.
NFS options supported by Mac OS X include the
following (see the exports(5) manpage for
complete details):
