    In the realm of network services, few are as vital for performance and functionality as NFS, or Network File System. NFS is a protocol that allows users to access files over a network as if they were physically located on their own system’s hard drive. It has been widely adopted due to its straightforward nature and robust capability. This article delves into NFS, how it integrates with Linux, and how you can use Bash commands to manage and troubleshoot NFS. NFS is a client/server application that allows a user on a client computer to access files over a network in a manner similar to how local storage is accessed. NFS, developed by Sun Microsystems in 1984, is now a standard software component found in UNIX and Linux distributions.

    When it comes to sharing files across a network in the Linux environment, the Network File System (NFS) is an undisputed frontrunner. NFS allows you to turn your server into a powerful hub from which clients can access shared files as if they were locally stored. This versatility makes NFS an excellent choice for networks of any size, whether it’s a home network or an enterprise-level operation. In this guide, we'll walk through the steps required to set up NFS on several popular Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, and openSUSE. By the end of this article, you should have a smooth-running NFS setup operational across different Linux distros.
