On my NFS server, which is running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS server, I first install OpenZFS. If you already have a zpool up and running, skip this step. Lastly, the commands being run on the NFS server have the prompt, server $ and the commands to be run on the client side have the prompt client $ Creating OpenZFS pool and Dataset 1. I wouldn’t recommend running NFS over public internet without additional security measure. If you have an ‘open Wifi’ setup or if the security on your router’s endpoint is dubious, this would not guarantee any security. This would ensure that only devices which have connected to my LAN are accessing my files and the outside world can’t access it. The NFS server will be configured to allow only devices with only the aforementioned IP address to be have access to the NFS server. In plain English, this means that all the devices connected to my home network (WiFi and Ethernet, et al) will have IP addresses ranging from 192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.254. The NFS is supposed to be available only on my LAN which has the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and 192.168.0.1 as its default gateway. My reason for using Ubuntu 18.04 is that it is quite popular and would considerably reduce the barrier of entry. You can use your favorite Linux distro or FreeBSD, or any other OS that supports OpenZFS. My NFS server is going to be based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. For now let’s focus on an Ubuntu server offering NFS storage and a Ubuntu client trying to connect to it. Advantages and disadvantages of AlmaLinux AlmaLinux is known as the successor to CentOS. AlmaLinux should replace CentOS at some point in the future and is free of charge.
#Openzfs linux distribution windows 10
I will detail the creation of NFS mount point on a Windows 10 client in the Part 2 of this series. The distribution is maintained and further developed by an open community and originated as a fork of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This way you can have the reliability and robustness of ZFS with the user friendliness of your favorite Desktop OS, since NFS is available across all platforms. This NFS device can then be mounted on your desktop workstation.
Well in this blog post, I will discuss how you can create a Network File System, or NFS, running in a seperate server. Maybe, you are using Windows 10, which doesn’t support OpenZFS, yet. Maybe you also want it on your desktop, but you don’t want to reformat your existing disks and partitions. If you are familiar with OpenZFS, you know all about its feature rich interface, flexible architecture, reliable checksums and COW mechanisms.
