3.3. NFS Share Setup

The following procedure configures the NFS share for the NFS daemon failover. You need to perform this procedure on only one node in the cluster.

Create the /nfsshare directory.
```
[root@z1 ~]# mkdir /nfsshare
```
Mount the ext4 file system that you created in Section 3.2, “Configuring an LVM Volume with an ext4 File System” on the /nfsshare directory.
```
[root@z1 ~]# mount /dev/my_vg/my_lv /nfsshare
```

Create an exports directory tree on the /nfsshare directory.

[root@z1 ~]# mkdir -p /nfsshare/exports
[root@z1 ~]# mkdir -p /nfsshare/exports/export1
[root@z1 ~]# mkdir -p /nfsshare/exports/export2

Place files in the exports directory for the NFS clients to access. For this example, we are creating test files named clientdatafile1 and clientdatafile2.
```
[root@z1 ~]# touch /nfsshare/exports/export1/clientdatafile1
[root@z1 ~]# touch /nfsshare/exports/export2/clientdatafile2
```

Unmount the ext4 file system and deactivate the LVM volume group.

[root@z1 ~]# umount /dev/my_vg/my_lv
[root@z1 ~]# vgchange -an my_vg
