Nfs

---

I know they may sound stupid but I'm trying to test my nfs server. am I supposed to make an external nfs server or can I test my nfs server with the same host client?

@melvin-mcqueen,

probably both are possible.

if you want to test from the local host:

showmount -e localhost
Export list for localhost:
/public *

the above will show you where you can mount it

mount localhost:/public /mnt

the above will verify it locally mountable.
