Mount another Linux machine

You probably want to use NFS for this purpose.
If you want to use NFS, you can set the 'shares' up in the /etc/exports file. Here's an example share in /etc/exports....
/home/chris some.host.com(rw)
Here's how you would mount the above share from the other Linux computer...
mount –t nfs linux01:/home/chris /mnt/nfs
linux01 is the NFS Servers hostname. Make sure to restart the NFS server whenever you make changes to the /etc/exports file...
/sbin/service nfs restart
If you want to always mount this share when your server boots, add it to the /etc/fstab file...
linux01:/home/chris /mnt/nfs nfs hard,intr 0 0
