How to share hard drive with another computer with NFS?

Support Network
24

Open in a file manager perhaps on /run/media/$USER/… ?

I have only a pdf opened from that drive as far as I’m aware.

If you have anything opened located on the device you will get error mounting it using the unit.

Eject it using the file manager eject button.

Then retry the unit.

Oh I was actually creating a new mount point for the drive and had to unmount it. Now it worked.

Now I’ve done:

server ❯ mkdir -p /srv/nfs/R
server ❯ sudo nvim /etc/fstab
/r/ntfs /srv/nfs/R none bind 0 0
client ❯ sudo mkdir -p /data/nfs
client ❯ sudo cat /etc/systemd/system/data-nfs-R.mount
[Unit]
Description=R drive
After=network.target

[Mount]
What=192.168.1.122:/r/ntfs
Where=/data/nfs/R
Type=nfs
Options=_netdev,auto

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
client ❯ sudo systemctl restart data-nfs-R.mount
