View source for Mounting nfs share

== nfs client ==
 mount -t nfs HOSTNAME:/path/to/sharedDirectory /mnt/target

for nfs file type support (on debian based)
 sudo apt-get install nfs-common

== nfs server ==

NFS security:
/etc/exports specifies what files / directories are mountable

Example:
  # /etc/exports: NFS file systems being exported.  See exports(5).
  /vol1 *(rw,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)
  /home/john *(rw,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)

User permissions are determined by UID / GID
If the user account on the remote device has a UID that matches up with the owner of the files on the NFS server, they can / will have full write access!!!  If they have root on the remote device, they can become any UID they want!


== changing a users UID ==
 usermod -u -<UID> <username>
