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

/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
/

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 "/".
Assuming "/nfs4exports" and "
/nfs4exports/home" are regular directories,
files stored via the NFS mount will go to the "home" directory under "/nfs4exports",
that is, the take space from the root partition. Did you mean to export "/home"?
If so, and assuming your user account has the same uid and gid on both systems,
it should not be hard to tweak the configuration:

Since you are the only client, step 0. becomes (on the client):
0.0) make sure no process is using the NFS mounted filesystem
0.1) "sudo umount /media/nfs"
Back on the server:, step 1 doesn't change

"<some_path>" turns out to be empty. The above
will give you "/home/nfs_share/home". Do you want the shared directory to be
"/home/nfs_share" or "/home/bobg/nfs_share" or even "/home/bobg"?
Step 3 depends on what you want in step 2.

Since you are the only user affected by the change, you
should probably export the directory you choose in step 2
directly so the configuration is unambiguous (symbolic
links are an example of the principle that most problems
can be solved with another level if indirection). You will need
to edit the fstab on the client and "/etc/exports" on the server
to replace "/nfs_share" with "/home/<your_choice>".

becomes (note the typo exportsfs->exportfs):
4.
sudo exportfs "/home/<your_choice>"
