[TriLUG] Add Another NFS Client to NFS Server

[Alan Sterger via TriLUG]

Are performance considerations something that would make either approach 
better?  I'm performing Oracle RMAN backups from both clients to the NFS 
server.  I assumed I would need to stagger RMAN's kickoff timing on each 
client as to not overwhelm the pipe and/or server.  Therefore, I assumed 
I need a new export path as I'm using '*' as the host id in /etc/exports.

How would I mount and configure /etc/exports if I didn't NEED a new 
export path?

Thanks,
