<y NFS is storing data in "/" instead of "home", what do i have wrong? 'df -h" shows the following: /dev/mapper/fedora_localhost--live-root 69G 67G 0 100% / tmpfs 1.8G 8.0K 1.8G 1% /tmp /dev/sda2 976M 254M 655M 28% /boot /dev/mapper/fedora_localhost--live-home 3.6T 4.8G 3.4T 1% /home 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".
. Yes, via ssh: [bobg@WS1 ~]$ ssh -X bobg@192.168.50.32
[bobg@nfs ~]$ showmount -e Export list for nfs: /nfs4exports/home 192.168.50.0/24
Assuming you want to move the exported directory to "/home/nfs_share",
. /I am the onlly client and my fstab is: 192.168.50.32:/nfs4exports/home /media/nfs nfs4 rw,soft,intr,fg,comment=systemd.automout 0 0
/
there should be an entry for "<some_path>/nfs_share" in "/etc/exports
This is what I find in /etc/exports (I odn't remeber how it was created.) [bobg@nfs ~]$ cat /etc/exports /nfs4exports/home 192.168.50.0/24(rw,sync,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)
At this point I m lost, I expected the stored files to go to "home" not "/".

". 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
- 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". -- George N. White III
