Looks like a mail program tried to make a link.

Yes on all counts.  We need to work on building your confidence by
showing you how to verify that each change you make is working as
expected.

On the server, I suggest you copy "/etc/exports" to "/etc/exports.new",
edit "/etc/exports.new" to make the change and post the .new file here
so others can check for problems.  Once you are confident that the
changes are good, you can use "showmount -e" to record the
current state, then, on the client, unmount the server so you can
make the change:

On the client, unmount all nfs filesystems:
step 0. sudo umount -a -t nfs
Back on the server, you need to stop exporting the old directory,:

step 0: sudo exportfs -u  "/nfs_share/home"

then move the data from "/nfs_share/home" to "/home/nfs_share":

step 1: sudo mv /nfs_share/home /home/nfs_share
systemctl daemon-reload
Check that /nfs_share is empty, that /home/nfs_share
has the expected contents, and that the root partition has gained
roughly the same space that has been lost on the /hom
Check that /nfs_share is empty and that /home/nfs_share
has the expected contents.

Update "/etc/exports", and export the new "/home/nfs_share":

step 2. sudo mv /etc/exports /etc/exports.old
step 3. sudo mv /etc/exports.new /etc/exports
step 4: sudo  exportfs -av

Verify that this worked by running "showmount -e"

Back on the client, make a  "/etc/fstab.new" with the same process and post
for review.  The version you posted earlier seems to have a typo, but that
may
have occurred when posting.

Once you are confident in your fstab, replace the original version with the
updated
version

step 5: sudo mv /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.old
step 6: sudo mv /etc/fstab.new /etc/fstab

Then let systemd know about the changes:

step 7: sudo  systemctl daemon-reload
step 8:
e partition
by running "df -lh / /home"

Update "/etc/exports", and export the new "/home/nfs_share":

step 2. sudo mv /etc/exports /etc/exports.old
step 3. sudo mv /etc/exports.new /etc/exports
step 4: sudo  exportfs -av

Verify that this worked by running "showmount -e"

Back on the client, make a  "/etc/fstab.new" with the same process and post
for review.  The version you posted earlier seems to have a typo, but that
may
have occurred when posting.

Once you are confident in your fstab, replace the original version with the
updated
version

step 5: sudo mv /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.old
step 6: sudo mv /etc/fstab.new /etc/fstab

Then let systemd know about the changes:

step 7: sudo  systemctl daemon-reload

Verify that the changes are working: the contents of "/media/nfs"
should look the same as they did before the server ran out of space
on the root partition.
