NFS
From Freenas
Network File System (NFS) is a protocol for sharing files on a network. Before configuring this service, you should first create your Unix (NFS) Shares. After configuring this service, go to Services → Control Panel to start the service.
Starting this service will open the following ports on the FreeNAS® system:
- TCP and UDP 111 (used by rpcbind)
- TCP 2049 (used by nfsd)
Additionally, mountd and rpcbind will each bind to a randomly available UDP port.
Figure 8.9a shows the configuration screen and Table 8.9a summarizes the configuration options for the NFS service:

Table 8.9a: NFS Configuration Options
| Setting | Value | Description |
| Number of servers | integer | run sysctl -n kern.smp.cpus from Shell to determine the number; do not exceed the number listed in the output of that command |
| Allow non-root mount | checkbox | check this box only if the NFS client requires it |
| Bind IP Addresses | string | comma delimited list of IP addresses to bind to; if empty, NFS will bind to (listen on) all available addresses |
