I have the NFS server working nicely and doing what I expect it to do, with a lot of help from this list, EXCEPT data is not being put in the right partition!

Who is the client putting data in? How are the nfs exports mounted on this client?
From the client /etc/fstab:
192.168.1.86:/exports/home/        /mnt/test/        nfs4    defaults    0 0

Can I fix this without starting from a new Fedora 27 installation or completely replacing NFS? Df shows the following:

Can I assume this 'df' is on the server? Can you show the same on the client?
Yes, this is DF from the server.

$ df -h
Filesystem               Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs                 1.8G     0  1.8G   0% /dev
tmpfs                    1.8G   32K  1.8G   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs                    1.8G  1.6M  1.8G   1% /run
tmpfs                    1.8G     0  1.8G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mapper/fedora-root   49G   19G   29G  40% /
tmpfs                    1.8G   88K  1.8G   1% /tmp
/dev/sda2                976M  151M  758M  17% /boot
/dev/sda1                200M   18M  183M   9% /boot/efi
/dev/mapper/fedora-home  2.7T  4.8G  2.5T   1% /home

As you can see it is putting the stored data in "/" [19G in a 49G space]. Those partitions were setup selecting "custom/standard partitions] in the installer. It looks to me like I should've used the 2.7T of space in "/" but that's not easy for me to do now.

Looking at the output of 'mount' on the client will show how the exported nfs
directories (on the server) are mounted on the client.

The exported directories from the server are defined in /etc/exports (on the server).
The mount points are defined in /etc/fstab (on the client).
[root@Box10 bobg]# mount 192.168.1.86:/exports/home/  /mnt/test

192.168.1.86:/exports/home/ on /mnt/test type nfs

# mount shows this for this server:

mount 192.168.1.86:/exports/home/ on /mnt/test type nfs

 I guess it boils down to how do I tell NFS to store data in /home instead of "/"? I've been looking at this and can't see what to change, or maybe it can';t be fixed that way?

I have a second 3TB drive installed and idle in which I can start over with a new installation if that would be preferable ...

I do not expect that a new install is required, just sorting out the directories and
moving the current data to the correct place (on the server).

Help appreciated,

Bob
