Maybe there is some magical way to run NFS but I do it the boring old way of
just sharing a directory. I guess that directory could be mounted on its own
partition. I'm not sure what difference that would make.
The kernel does have NFS built into it but I usually use user space clients and
the server. How NFS works without any additional software installed is a
mystery to me but I have used it early on installing a distribution on the
client side and for the most part it is the same as with additional software
installed. Once I mount the share I can use it like I normally do. Although
sometimes things get a bit strange if I shutdown without unmounting those
shares first. Apparently using a real client helps out somewhat there? Might be
something else going on there though that I am not aware of.
Gentoo has the effect of making me feel like a newbie now. It is all a bit off
from what I am used to.
