nfs simplified

(abridged from http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Share_Directories_via_NFS)
For the server

1.emerge nfs-utils
2.edit /etc/exports
example:

/opt/svnrepos vsdc1.vital.local(async,no_subtree_check,ro) 192.168.88.62(async,no_subtree_check,rw)


3.execute:
exportfs -ra
/etc/init.d/nfs reload


For the client

ensure that portmap is running (and added as default via rc-update)
then mount ala:

mount vssvn:/var/lib/trac ./vssvn_trac/
