This guide provides a step-by-step process for setting up Network File System (NFS) sharing on Debian 13 and mounting it on macOS, Linux, and Windows systems, while also offering performance tuning tips. The NFS server is installed on Debian 13, and directory permissions are configured to ensure smooth operations without permission issues.

The exports configuration file is edited to specify which directories are shared and with which clients. The guide then provides instructions for mounting the NFS share on various systems, including macOS, Linux, and Windows, with specific optimizations for each. Lastly, it offers performance tuning suggestions such as increasing buffer sizes and ensuring the use of TCP protocol for improved network throughput and file transfer speeds.
