Export Options

rw

This option allows both read and write.

sync

The requests to the exported directory are confirmed only after the changes are committed.

no_subtree_check

This option prevents the subtree checking. When a shared directory is the subdirectory of a larger filesystem, nfs performs scans of every directory above it, in order to verify its permissions and details. Disabling the subtree check may increase the reliability of NFS, but reduce security.

no_root_squash

This phrase allows root to connect to the designated directory.
