Installing NFS

Hello All,

Would like to install and connect NFS to my VI3. Have a Dell server I can dedicate for it.

Does anyone have detailed instructions on how to accomplish this. I am not a Linux person so please provide some detailed instructions.

Thanks

Why not use a Windows box with Unix Services installed?

Do not wish to burn the win2k license. As the last resort I will use it but any instructions for Linux install?

Check out this thread about iSCSI storage, at the bottom you'll find some basic steps for setting up NFS

or from Mike's great console guide:
