NFS
Linux
Client
apt-get install nfs-common # Debian, Ubuntu yum install nfs-utils # Fedora zypper install nfs-client # openSUSE
Add file systems to mount to /etc/fstab:
host1:/mnt/foo /mnt/foo nfs4 nodev,nosuid,noexec,bg,intr,sec=sys,rw,_netdev 0 0 host2:/mnt/bar /mnt/bar nfs4 nodev,nosuid,noexec,bg,intr,sec=sys,ro,_netdev 0 0
Note: the _netdev mount option[1] is a hint to be used by the startup scripts:
The filesystem resides on a device that requires network access (used to prevent the system from attempting to mount these filesystems until the network has been enabled on the system).
For Gentoo, make sure that the nfsmount service is started:
sudo rc-update add nfsmount default
Adjust /etc/default/nfs-common as needed:
STATDOPTS="--port 4000 --outgoing-port 4001"
Note: this can be done in /etc/sysconfig/nfs on Fedora or openSUSE systems.
Server
apt-get install nfs-kernel-server # Debian, Ubuntu yum install nfs-utils # Fedora
Add file systems to be exported to /etc/exports:
/mnt/foo 10.0.0.0/24(rw,async,no_subtree_check,sec=sys) /mnt/bar 10.0.0.3/32(ro,async,no_subtree_check,all_squash,anonuid=0,anongid=0,sec=sys) /home 10.0.1.0/24(rw,no_subtree_check,async,root_squash,sec=sys)
Adjust /etc/default/nfs-common as needed:
STATDOPTS="--port 4000 --outgoing-port 4001"
Adjust /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server as needed:
RPCNFSDCOUNT=16 RPCMOUNTDOPTS="--manage-gids --port 4003"
Note: this can be done in /etc/sysconfig/nfs on Fedora or openSUSE systems.

NFS exports are configured via /etc/exports, though its format might be a different from other NFS implementations:
$ cat /etc/exports /Volumes/scratch -maproot=root /Volumes/data -ro
To restart the NFS service:
$ launchctl stop com.apple.nfsd $ launchctl start com.apple.nfsd
Solaris
Client
We're using NFSv3:
$ grep ^NFS_CLIENT_VERSMAX /etc/default/nfs NFS_CLIENT_VERSMAX=3
or, via sharectl(1M) (for Solaris 5.11):
sharectl set -p client_versmax=3 nfs
...otherwise we might get:
nfs mount: mount: <mountpoint>: Not owner nfs mount: server:/share /mnt: No such file or directory
To automatically mount NFS shares:
$ grep nfs /etc/vfstab nfsserver:/data - /data nfs - yes ro $ svcadm enable svc:/network/nfs/status svc:/network/nfs/nlockmgr svc:/network/nfs/client
Also, if the NFS-Server is running Linux, its exports have to specifiy the security mode:
$ grep share /etc/exports /share 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_subtree_check,async,root_squash,sec=sys)
- nfssec(5)
- NFS Mounts do not mount at boot
- Some nasty NFSv3 interactions at mount time between Linux and OpenSolaris (Tom Haynes, 2009-07-16)
