Kodi network sharing - New-bee - 2016-05-20

I am using KodiBuntu Helix 14.0
I was trying to make my kodi share folders to the home network and it works. Sort of...
I was following this guide http://www.htpcguides.com/configure-nfs-server-and-nfs-client-raspberry-pi/
and kodi's wiki http://kodi.wiki/view/NFS

Basically I have installed nfs-server
Created folder called "nfs"
and change my exports file to :
/nfs/home/kodi/nfs 192.168.1.10 (rw,sync)

192.168.1.10 is my laptop ip address

and then issued command: sudo exports

And then I realized kodi is sharing following folders to the network:
Downloads, Movies, Music, Pictures, System, TV shows
but not the one I want (which is called nfs)
I have checked permissions and they are 777 for folder nfs, so I don't know why it is sharing not what I want.
Other thing I did realise is that it is not only my laptop can read those files but also my android phone.
What I did wrong?

sudo exportfs -rv

Okay, it turned out that kodi, by default, is sharing via samba and I did followed that way.
Topic to close.
