NFS Server

The built in NFS server allows file sharing capabilities with NFS clients (mainly Un*x like systems). It's essentially the equivalent of samba in Linux environment.


Enable NFS Server - Runs the NFS server process.
Enable legacy (NFS V2) support - There are currently 3 version of NFS 2/3/4. It defaults to 3 but with this option it can be enable to “talk” v2 as well.

Exports

Directory - Filesystem location to be shared
IP Address/Subnet - Limits connectivity from this IP/subnet.
Access - Defined how the Share can be accessed as in Read-only or Read/Write.
Sync/Async - Sync means that data is immediately flushed to disk where Async (rarely used) takes a asynchronous approach.
Subtree_check - Helps when one folder is exported but one or more of the subfolders is not.
Other_options - Here you specify advanced options. Please refer to the official NFS documentation for additional details.
