This is a guide on mounting a remote NFS share on Arch linux.

Prepare the environment¶

Make sure the system is up to date:
```
sudo pacman -Syu
```

Setup NFS Server¶

Install nfs-utils package:
```
pacman -S nfs-utils
```

Edit the exports file:

vi /etc/exports

Setup a read-only public share to the 192.168.1.0 network:

/srv/nfs/public 192.168.1.0/24(ro,all_squash,insecure,no_subtree_check)

Start and enable the nfs-server at boot:

systemctl enable nfs-server
systemctl start nfs-server

Mount the NFS Share¶

Install nfs-utils package:
```
pacman -S nfs-utils
```

Start and enable rpcbind.service,nfs-client.target and remote-fs.target services at boot:

systemctl enable rpcbind.service
systemctl enable nfs-client.target
systemctl enable remote-fs.target

systemctl start rpcbind.service
systemctl start nfs-client.target
systemctl start remote-fs.target

Manual Mounting¶

Mount NFS share:

mount -t nfs nas.example.com:/srv/nfs/public /media/public

/etc/fstab¶

Using fstab is useful for a server which is always on, and the NFS shares are available whenever the client boots up. Edit /etc/fstab file:
```
vi /etc/fstab
```
- And add an appropriate line reflecting the setup. Again, the server's NFS export root is omitted.
```
nas.example.com:/srv/nfs/public   /media/public   nfs   rsize=32768,wsize=32768,timeo=900,retrans=5,_netdev    0 0
```
