The NFS server configuration file that lists directories to be made available to NFS clients is /etc/exports. The following is an example of an entry in this file:

/data 192.168.152.133(rw,root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)

This entry exports the /data directory to a network host with the IP address 192.168.152.133. The options in parentheses are delimited by commas.
