Mount a linux server dir to another linux server directory

Say we have 2 servers named as

server1                 (192.168.1.45)

server2                 (192.168.1170)

we want to mount a directory of 192.168.1.45 on the .170 server

Step1.

install nfs server on server1 (.45)

#yum install nfs-utils nfs4-acl-tools portmap

#chkconfig nfs on

Step2.

Share the directory on server1(.45)

#vim /etc/exports

/image1 192.168.1.170(rw)

save the file {it will give server2 (.170) read write access}

# exportfs -avr

Step3.

Mounting the /image1 directory on the server2

you need to create a directory on server2 where you want to mount the directory from server1

#mkdir /image1

#vim /etc/fstab

192.168.1.45:/image1     /image1 nfs hard,intr 0 0

save and close the  file

#mount -t nfs -a

the above command will mount the server1 shared directory to the server2 directory(/image1).
