An [Acronym] for NetworkFileSystem. Sometimes also scornfully expanded as __N__ightmare FileSystem.

Some useful [NFS] diagnostic commands:

<tt>rpcinfo -e ''hostname''</tt>:
    Show what programs (and versions) are registered with the portmapper over what network protocol.
<tt>exportfs -a</tt>:
    Update the [NFS] daemon with whats listed in <tt>/etc/exports</tt>
<tt>showmount ''hostname''</tt>:
    List all hosts that are considered to be mounted a filesystem on ''hostname''
<tt>showmount -a ''hostname''</tt>:
    Lists all exported filesystems on host ''hostname''
