28.5.1.4 Starting and Stopping Services
After changing /etc/exports or /etc/sysconfig/nfs, start or restart the
NFS server service with rcnfsserver restart. After changing /etc/idmapd
.conf, reload the conguration le with the command killall -HUP
rpc.idmapd.

28.5.2 Exporting File Systems with NFSv2
and NFSv3
This section is specic to NFSv3 and NFSv2 exports. Refer to Section 28.4.1, “Exporting
for NFSv4 Clients” (page 470) for exporting with NFSv4.
Exporting le systems with NFS involves two conguration les: /etc/exports
and /etc/sysconfig/nfs. A typical /etc/exports le entry is in the format:
/shared/directory host(list_of_options)
For example:
/export 192.168.1.2(rw,sync)
Here, the directory /export is shared with the host 192.168.1.2 with the option
list rw,sync. This IP address can be replaced with a client name or set of clients using
a wild card (such as *.abc.com) or even netgroups.
For a detailed explanation of all options and their meaning, refer to the man page of
exports (man exports).
After changing /etc/exports or /etc/sysconfig/nfs, start or restart the
NFS server using the command rcnfsserver restart.
