NFS is actually pretty easy. You'll want to read the exports man page to find out how to setup your /etc/exports file. Then you'll want to enable NFS in your /etc/rc.conf On the 'client' machine all you have to do to mount the NFS dir is mount -t nfs server:/dir /mount_point. These can also be added your /etc/fstab so that they are mounted at startup. A VERY simple /etc/exports that shares /usr to everyone on network 10.0.0.x would look like. /usr -network 10.0.0 In your fstab you would then have... (this is from memory and may not be 100%, as I'm not at home). server:/usr /mnt nfs rw 0 0 If you want to be able to mount a dir dir within a specific partition then you would need to add the -alldirs option to your /etc/exports file.
