You want to use NFS for this. Basically,
-- on A, you set up a file called /etc/exports, that lists the
filesystems that can be remotely mounted and what systems they can be
remotely mounted on. "man nfs" will show you the syntax, I think.
-- also on A, you make sure that rpc.nfsd, rpc.mountd, and
rpc.portmap are all running. (I always forget if they have to be running on
B as well, so you'll need to check that elsewhere.)
-- on B, you use the "mount" command to mount the filesystems from A
on local mount points. The syntax is straightforward and explained in the
man page for mount. (You can put this in fstab, BTW.)
There is an NFS HowTo, I believe, and the man pages for mount, nfs, nfsd,
and mountd will help. There is an automount daemon of some sort as well,
which deals with transient disconnects and reconnects and such things. I've
never used it, though, and I don't even recall the correct name for sure.
