I have reached a point that I need to set up NFS on my server and
clients. Is there a document any where that give the directions in
step one, step two format? I have installed the server and the client
pkgs through synaptic but now I'm just lost.

A Google of 'NFS ubuntu' brings up about 7 howtos on the subject.

I started using NFS a month or so ago and haven't looked back. I never
really got the hand of Samba/smb on linux. In my view NFS just seems
more logical, more unix-ey.

I used the first link from that google search, exporting one directory
on my desktop to one ip address, my laptop. It was up and running in 15
mins.

I have the server side set up to be an installation server for other
Linux distribution (for a platform other than x86). See this link:

When running a NFS server on Fedora how can I see what files are in use
by others over the NFS mount?

the lsof(8) will give you this information and a lot more. Most likely
you will want to pipe the output through grep(1)

lsof | grep <NFS server> works for me.

In "classic" NFS this isn't really possible. NFS is stateless, so on
the server you can only see momentary reads and writes from files, you
cannot see if a file is, say, opened by a client but the client is not
reading and writing to it at that moment.

Modern NFS is a little bit different. I think NFSv4 maintains more
state on the server, and also you've got things like file locking, so
maybe it is possible to get more information out in those cases.
Someone else who knows about NFSv4 will have to answer that more
definitively though.

File locking was available in earlier NFS versions as well, and
/proc/locks would tell you what the locks on the server were though many
would be local locks.

Yes that works on the client side but what about seeing what clients are doing from the server side?

Ah, I see...

That is going to be a problem.

One (unsatisfying) way would be to set up shared key ssh, then loop
through all hosts running lsof on each host.

Not sure what problem you're trying to solve, ...
