<y NFS is storing data in "/" instead of "home", what do i have wrong? 'df -h" shows the following:

I need to fix it. I don't know where to look for my mistake, Obviously I want to store files in the 3.4 TB partition not root.
I assume the above is for your NFS server. "showmount -e" should show you what directory is exported call it "<some_path>/nfs_share".
Assuming you want to move the exported directory to "/home/nfs_share", there should be an entry for "<some_path>/nfs_share" in "/etc/exports". If you want to avoid changing the client mount commands, you can use a symbolic link:
0. Ask your clients to stop using the share 1. sudo exportfs -u "<some_path>/nfs_share" This disables the share so you can move it
2. sudo mv "<some_path>/nfs_share" /home this should free some space in the root partition
3. sudo ln -s "/home/nfs_share" "<some_path>" this should avoid the need for any NFS configuration changes
4. sudo exportsfs "<some_path>/nfs_share"
This may be an oversimplification, e.g. if you have separate shares for each user. If this isn't what you need, show us the output of "showmount -e" and the contents of "/etc/exports".
