title: Does mounting an NFS drive take up space in the NFS client?
body: <p>I follow this <a href="https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-nfs-mount-on-ubuntu-16-04" rel="nofollow noreferrer">tutorial</a> to setup NFS for my server. Currently I have 1 server which share part of it directories as the <strong>HOST</strong>, 2 server that mounts these directories as the <strong>CLIENT</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>My question is very straight forward, if my <strong>HOST</strong> contain 2 million picture which used about 100GB storage, does the <strong>CLIENT</strong> who mount the folder of the <strong>HOST</strong> also took 100GB storage? Or only <strong>HOST</strong> took those storage <strong>CLIENT</strong> just read and write but never took space in the <strong>CLIENT</strong> server?</p>
  
  <p>I know it might be a stupid question but it is a good start if someone help me understading the concept.</p>
