ii)  share in  read write mode 

[root@ip-172-31-31-234 ~]# chmod  o+w   /test


root@adhoclabs:~#  cat   /etc/exports 

/test              *(rw)          


starting  the nfs  service

======================


[root@ip-172-31-31-234 ~]# systemctl  start   nfs-server

[root@ip-172-31-31-234 ~]# systemctl  start   rpcbind

Now client  side  :  

Note :   generally nfs  is  used for  linux based  clients  sharing 

Step  1:  Installing  client side software  

[root@ip-172-31-31-134 ~]# yum  install  nfs-utils  -y

Step  2:  check with   sharepoint 

[root@ip-172-31-31-134 ~]# showmount  -e  52.26.249.237

Export list for 52.26.249.237:

/test *

Step  3 : mount is somewhere 

[root@ip-172-31-31-134 ~]# mkdir    /mnt/d

[root@ip-172-31-31-134 ~]# mount  52.26.249.237:/test  /mnt/d
