Mounting all of our scratch space using NFS will allow us to access each other's files as if they are on the local machine, reducing redundancy and maximizing our storage. Also, this will make things much easier once the cluster is up and running.
Install NFS Server
To check if you've already installed the NFS server
dpkg -l | grep nfs-kernel-server
If not
sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server
Make and Export Local Drives
Our naming convention dictates you enter the name of your computer followed by a number if you have more than 1 spinny drive
sudo mkdir -p /export/<computername>
Add the following the /etc/fstab file to export drive at boot up.
/mnt/scratch /export/<computername> none bind 0 0
