I follow this tutorial to setup NFS for my server. Currently I have 1 server which share part of it directories as the HOST, 2 server that mounts these directories as the CLIENT.
My question is very straight forward, if my HOST contain 2 million picture which used about 100GB storage, does the CLIENT who mount the folder of the HOST also took 100GB storage? Or only HOST took those storage CLIENT just read and write but never took space in the CLIENT server?
I know it might be a stupid question but it is a good start if someone help me understading the concept.
The short answer is: no. You're mounting a remote drive, but you're not syncing all the remote data to a local disk.
