on DHARRA (server):
wanted some temp working space.
so created a LV:
lvcreate -L 500G -n temp_storage_pool sataAB_data
then formatted it w/ ext4:
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/sataAB_data-temp_storage_pool
mounted it:
mount -t ext4 /dev/mapper/sataAB_data-temp_storage_pool /media/floppy/
the whole she-bang was to convert a Virtualbox VDI into raw disk (needed space). but the qemu-img-xen on alpine doesn't support this format. So started NFS server on dharra and mounted it on laptop (where vdi is supported).

apk add nfs-utils
rc-service nfs start
vi /etc/exports
add line-> /media/floppy <client IP Address>(rw,no_root_squash)
exportfs -arv
on laptop
systemctl start rpc-statd.service
check rpcbind has also started (should):
systemctl status rpcbind.service
mount dharra:/media/floppy /media/tmp/
...JHAKAAS!!!
to stop - umount on latop. Stop RPC services:
- rpc-statd.service
- rpcbind.service
- rpcsocket.service
On dharra stop the nfs service.
