NFS (Network File System) is a distributed file system protocol that allows users to access files over a network as if they were located on their local storage. Developed by Sun Microsystems in the 1980s, NFS enables file sharing between systems, typically Unix or Linux machines, using a client-server architecture. It supports features like file locking, authentication, and mounting remote directories.

Features

  • Allows clients to access files stored on a remote server as if they were on the local machine.
  • Operates using a client-server model, where the server hosts shared files and the client mounts and accesses them.
  • Provides transparent access to files across the network—users and applications interact with remote files just like local ones.
  • Earlier versions of NFS (like v2 and v3) are stateless, meaning the server does not keep track of client state, which simplifies recovery after crashes.
  • NFSv4 introduces stateful operations such as file locking and delegations, improving performance and consistency.


Use Cases

  • Organizations use NFS to centralize file storage on a server.
  • Simplifies backup, management, and access control.
  • In multi-user UNIX/Linux environments, NFS is used to mount user home directories from a central server.
  • Users can log in to any networked machine and access their files.
  • Developers share code, scripts, or build artifacts across multiple systems via a common NFS share.
  • Improves collaboration and simplifies version management.

We created this product to solve a real problem we faced ourselves. The idea came from [brief insight or story – e.g., managing complex leases or needing a simpler workflow].
