Role Variables

Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):

nfs_exports: []

A list of exports which will be placed in the /etc/exports file. See Ubuntu's simple Network File System (NFS) guide for more info and examples. (Simple example: nfs_exports: { name: "/home/public" }).

A complete overview of export options follows below. Only path is required, the rest is optional.

Option	Default	Comment
name	-	The name/comment
subnet	*	The subnet you want to export to
writable	false	The share cannot be written
insecure	false	Requests don't have to originate from a port less than IPPORT_RESERVED (1024)
async	false	Replies to requests before the data is written to disk. This improves performance, but results in lost data if the server goes down
no_subtree_check	false	Deactivates that every file request is checked to make sure that the requested file is in an exported subdirectory
no_root_squash	false	Don't convert incoming requests from user root to the anonymous uid and gid
all_squash	false	Convert incoming requests, from ALL users, to the anonymous uid and gid
anonuid	-	Set anonymous user id to a specific id
anongid	-	Set anonymous group id to a specific id
