Network File System (NFS)

The NFS file system provides the user with access to data and objects that are stored on a remote NFS server. An NFS server can export a network file system that NFS clients will then mount dynamically.

In addition, any file system mounted locally through the Network File System will have the features, characteristics, limitations, and dependencies of the directory or file system it was mounted from on the remote server. Operations on mounted file systems are not performed locally. Requests flow through the connection to the server and must obey the requirements and restrictions of the type of file system on the server.

For more information on NFS, see Use NFS file systems through the integrated file system interface.
