How to use NFS to mount whole hard disk?

Hi guys, I want to use NFS to share my / directory across the LAN to my other computer. I tried NFS and managed to get it to mount a directory inside /srv/nfs4/ But now I want to use it to share my whole hard disk. Does anyone know how I could do this?

Re: How to use NFS to mount whole hard disk?

Apart from why this isn't a good idea, did you try the same procedure you used to mount a directory inside /srv/nfs4? Can you "mount --bind" your root to a share in /srv/nfs4? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nfs#File_system

The alternative is to explicitly share root in /etc/exports, but this is also not a good idea.
