Re: Getting started with NFS

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



The tool you need is nfs-utils, if you do a
# rpm -qi --provides nfs-utils
you will get output of which software it provides, and some info about 
the package.
Most of the nfs service is handled by the kernel:
"Summary     : NFS utlilities and supporting clients and daemons for the 
kernel NFS server."

I hope this helps you one step further
