Hi,
I've never been using NFS before, but I'm going to need it. I gathered some documentation (Deployment Guide, RHEL 5 Unleashed, general NFS docs) and I have a few machines to experiment with.
After about two hours of reading and experimenting, I must admit the documentation is confusing, to say the least. Although some step-by-step tutorials are provided, none of them work. For example, the RHEL deployment guide mentions NFSv2, NFSv3 and NFSv4... but as much as I poke around, I don't even find a way to checkout which one of the version I'm running.
So...
1) Can you suggest some reliable and well-written (think: newbie-friendly) documentation about NFS?
2) Usually I start out from a minimal install on desktop as well as servers. Which packages are needed on the servers side, and on the client side, in order for NFS to work correctly? None of the docs mentioned above says a word about it.
Thanks,
Niki
