Assume on computer A you have a directory "/home/a-files" & you want to
mount it on computer B as "/A/home/a-files"
1. On computer B, create a subdirectory called "/A/home/a-files"
(This will be a dummy directory that will serve as a place-keeper for
the mounted files.)
2. On computer A, modify the file /etc/exports to allow access to this
directory from computer B. Add the line:
"/home/a-files ComputerA(rw)". This allows for read/write
access from Computer A to the directory /home/a-files.
3. On computer B, type "mount -t nfs ComputerA:/home/a-files
/A/home/a-files"
Now, when on Computer B, just change to directory /A/home/a-files, and
you will actually be reading the /home/a-files from Computer A.
If this is still confusing, eMail me directly, and I'll help you walk
through it.
