The Network File System (NFS) protocol allows a given computer to access a disk on another computer over a network in a transparent fashion. The hard disk can be accessed just as easily as if it were local to the user's machine. To get access to a disk across a network, the disk must be NFS mounted on the user's local machine. See your system administrator for such operations.
