The raspberries /home/
directory can be mounted to other computers filesystem <path>
sudo apt install nfs-kernel-server
/etc/exports
need to hold what will be exported
/home/<path>
192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_subtree_check,async)
sudo systemctl restart nfs-kernel-server
On the client system as root (or sudo) type mount -t nfs 192.168.1.<x>
:/home/<path>
/<mounting point>
to mount it and umount /<mounting point>
to unmount it.
Autofs can be used to easily mount the filesystem at a client and without root permission. Autofs does not need to be installed on the server Raspberry, it needs to be installed just on the client.
For a Gentoo Linux client the following must be added to /etc/autofs/auto.misc
<mounting point>
-fstype=nfs,rw<Raspberry server ip>
:/home/<path>
/etc/init.d/autofs restart
If the rest of the autofs configuration is done the /home/
directory appears on the client system under <path>
/mnt/auto/
<mounting point>
Since two computers are involved the user and group id numbers might not match and cause access issues.
